VALUE OF A TRAINED
AGRICULTURIST
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Statistics show ihat the earning ca
pacity of every man the university
is increased by about S2O a day for
every day of the four years he is or
dinarily in college, or to the extent
of $24,000 for his life-earning period.
These figures are based on public
school training providing a life-earn
ing ability of $22,000, high school
training $48,000 and University train
ing $72,000.
Georgia has invested half a million
dollars in higher education in agricul
ture, and, according to these figures,
is destined to secure from graduates
and post-graduates alone $1,920,000;
from short course men, based on one
twelfth the return from college course,
$8,472,000, or a grand total of $5,392-
000.
No line of human activity is more
likely to give returns equivalent to
these figures than agriculture, the
least understood, appreciated or sci
entifically correlated of our vocations.
In fact, what investment can a state
hope to make which will pay so large
a dividend as the training of her youth
to participate with efficiency in her
basic agricultural industries?
Thus, the formations for initial lead
ership have been established, for Geor
gia has been fortunate in returning
within her own borders practically ev
ery man who has ever attended a
course at the College of Agriculture,
and the great majority of the small
but loyal and efficient body of alumni
are now working for the state in some
capacity.

Preparedness
EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
PREPAREDNESS.
What Is Preparedness?
It is to have what you want when you need it.
At least that is one way of defining it.
If you need a farm you no doubt want one.
Of course we realize some people doo 5 t want
what they need.
They are the class of people that do not succeed.
We have what you need in the line of farms
whether you want one or not.
After showing you over some of the farms on
our list we shall convince you that you do want one.
We submit the following from our list:
45 acre farm in the City of Winder $4500.
160 acre farm in Barrow County for $5500.
300 acre farm in Barrow County for $9600.
250 acre farm in Jackson County for S7OOO.
Of course we have others but advertising space
comes high.
Two houses on Broad Street at panic prices.
This in good times.
One large house on Candler Street at less than
you could build the house alone for.
Houses and lots in all parts of the City.

The Winder News, Thursday, March 2, 1916,
HUW MUCH IS
MADE UN A FARM T
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division College Of Agriculture.
At a recent conference of county
agents in farm demonstration work
held at the College of Agriculture, in
struction was given each agent as to
how to figure profits of a farm. This
information, in turn, is to be imparted
to Georgia farmers. Blank forms for
collecting the necessary data is pro
vided each agent. Of course, it is not
expected that g county agent can at
once become an expert in dispatching
this kind of business, but it is the be
ginning of what it is hoped will result
in a business system for every farm
in Georgia.
Without knowing where the leaks
are, farming is a haphazard, if not an
unprofitable, business. Proper account
ing should show every cent of profit
and loss of every crop, or animal, or
any transaction on the farm.
The College of Agriculture, through
its farm management workers, and by
the aid of the county agents, can do a
great deal toward setting farmers upon
the right road to the most profitable
farming. If the information
is supplied, then they will be able to
figure out where profits are made and
\vh£re losses. Farmers in the state
wno are approached for farm manage
ment information ought to welcome
the opportunity to give it, since it will
mean information that will probably
put them in the way of prosecuting
their work along the most profitable
lines.
