REACHING A MAN
IN THE FIELD
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.
“Extension Teaching” is the term
commonly applied to carrying agricul
tural information out from an agricul
tural college to the farmer. Extension
teaching would soon end in failure if
a college did not prove that it had
practical knowledge to give to the
farmer. During the last eight years
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture has been doing extension teach
ing, that is, it has been going out to
meet the farmer in institutes, field
meetings, farmers’ schools, educational
trains, etc. The figures will tell the
story more forcibly than words wheth
er or not the farmers of Georgia are
finding the services of the College ac
ceptable or not.
In the last eight.years 5,179 exten
sion schools, field and miscellaneous
meetings have been held through the
influence of our extension depart
ment, in co-operation with railroads,
hoards of trade, chambers of com
merce, farmers’ organizations, boards
of education, fair associations, wom
en’s clubs, churches, schools and in
dividuals. In all 1,2f12,088 persons,
calculating attendance on the num
ber of sessions h Id, have been
reached.

The individuals reached constitute
about one-half the population of our
state, and it is safe to say that the
great majority of the progressive citi
zens and boys and girls living in the
open country have been brought direct
ly or indirectly in touch with the work
of the college through its associated
activities,
* > NAZARETH.
Mr. Joel Hardlgree, of Christian
College, Auburn, Ga., will preach at
County Line next Sunday, March 5,
at 2:30 P. M.
This week the Northwest served us
a blizzard with teeth and claws; pull
ing and biting, rain, wind, snow and
sleet —the worst spell of the winter.
1 am told by those who seem to
know, that Winder collects taxes on
the vacant lots that are supposed to
furnish hitching ground for the farm
ers’ horses and mules when in the
city. It seems to me a great bur
lesque on hospitality. In every pa
per we have invitation to go to
town to buy merchandise, attend a
show or something else that calls
for money. The buying is a neces
sity, I do not object to the show,
but I do object, most strenuously,
to having to go to a stable and pay
high charges for an hour’s stay. The
stables, are and should be, a part
and parcel of Winder. When 1 want
the stable am always willing to pay
for what 1 get. Sometimes we need
the dry goods store, but not when
we go to buy a plow point. That
is one of our reasons for going to
Winder, rather than the cross roads
country store.
* 1 hope that every man, woman and
child in Winder will whoop for the
school bonds until the day of the
election. Then 1 trust that every
qualified voter will cast his ballot
for bonds, progress and improvement
In the matter of county officers.
Everybody knows that the countty of
fleers should have a stated salary,
big enough to put good, strong men
in the offices and keep them there.
In Barrow county 1 would make our
very efficient court house officers a
board of county commissioners. The
ordinary, clerk of the Superior court
and sheriff. We all realize that "in
union there is strength” and “a
three fold cord is not easily broken.”
1 have said something of this be
fore, but it seems to me of enough
importance to bear repeating.

Wrong ideas are the cause of four
fifths of the trouble of the human
race. Young men sometimes enter
tain the idea that in order to be a
man they have got to be a bluster
ing fellow and swear like a sailor.
Wrong conceptions of real manhood
and real womanhood are the harrier
reefs upon which many young lives
have been wrecked. In India the
people had a wrong conception of
God and how to worship him and
threw their babies in the river to
be devoured by the crocadiles. To
day many church members professed
Christians are dwarfing their souls
because they have wrong conceptions
of the church and the duties of
church members.
