ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
FARM BRIEFS
By JACK WOOTEN
Extension Editor
LIVESTOCK AND EQUIPMENT
DAY
Thousands of Georgia farmers
will gather in Athens Friday on the
University of Georgia’s College of
Agriculture farm for the annual
Livestock and Equipment Day. The
field day, which will attract farmers
and county agents from practically
every county in Georgia, will fea
ture demonstrations of farm ma
chinery as well as the exhibition of
the college livestock. The various
demonstrations will concern the
many uses of machinery for farm
work.
FARM INCOME
For the first quarter of 1940,
cash farm income including gov
ernment payments was 12 per cent
higher than a year earlier and
amounted to $1,987,000,000. Income
from farm marketings which totaled
$1,696,000,000 was 7 per cent high
er than the income received during
the first quarter of 1939. Govern
ment payments totaled $291,000,000
in the first three months of 1940
compared with $192,000,000 from
.January to March last year.
LAND-USE TABLES
Land-use capability tables—that
is, uses and recommendations of
Georgia farmland—are being work
ed out for various Soil Conservation
Service districts by the Soil Con
servation Service, the Extension
Service and other agricultural agen
cy workers, Frank C. Ward, Exten
sion conservationist, reports. Uses
of land for various types of fann
ing and for different crops, when
determined, will be used in the dis
tricts in planning individual farms
as basis for farm planning.
SWEET POTATOES FOR SWINE
Charles E. Bell, Jr., Extension
swine specialist, recommends sweet
potatoes as a satisfactory finishing
crop for hogs. He says, however,
that the cost is more per acre com
pared with other fattening crops.
The potatoes can be hogged-off
from the middle of September
through the winter. In the extreme
southern part of the state, sweet
potatoes will keep in the ground un
til late February.

GENESIS OF THE DIME STORE
The proprietor of a small coun
try store, many years ago, was
much concerned because each day
men of his acquaintance congre
gated and lingered around his
friendly stove and sat on his coun
ters.
He recognized that many women
would not be attracted to his store
because of this; and after ponder
ing how to meet the situation with
out hui’ting any one’s feelings, he
decided to cover the counters with
goods from the shelves. Bolts of
cloth, gloves, shoes, kitchen ware,
and other articles from his stock
were neatly arranged on the coun
ters with no space left for loungers.
The customary visitors, finding
no place to sit, gradually dispersed;
and at the end of the month the
proprietor noticed that his sales
■were remarkably increasing. He
opened another store in a near-by
town, using this same method of
displaying his goods on the counters
with equally gratifying results.
This was the origin of the 5-and
-10-cent stores now so numerous
throughout the world—Exchange.
