THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
First Farm
Tour Proves
Big Success
FIRST OF SERIES FARM TOURS
PROVES BOTH EDUCATIONAL
AND ENJOYABLE. LARGE
CROWD ATTENDED
The first county farm and home
tour of Butts county in several
years was made Wednesday by ap
proximately 75 farmers, business
men, state and county officials and
was unanimously acclaimed a suc
cess by all participating. Success
ful farming methods at six of the
county’s best farms were studied and
the argument was advanced that if
these men, women, and children
could make farming and other re
lated industries pay', that ethers
could also.
First home to be visited was that
of H. H. McCord on the Griff
highway, where spectators *rv
shown his thriving fields of rye.
oats, lespedeza, and crimson clever
Chief attraction at the McCVrvi
farm, however, were his eight sheep,
seven of which have already been
sheared and yielded an average of
about five pounds of wool per
sheep. Although the raising of sheep
on a commercial basis in Butts
county is still in the experimental
stage, Mr. McCord and other farm
ers have faith in the woolly flock.
Members of the tour praised Mr.
McCord for his excellent pasture
lands and the clean, orderly manner
in which he runs his farm.
At the home of W. D. Fletcher,
Farm Security Administration client,
home improvement both inside and
outside of the home, landscape
work, modern terracing wtih machin
ery, and farm records were studied.
Farmers were especially interested
in the farm records shown and all
were urged to keep an accurate
record of expenditures and income,
in order that a summary of their
financial resources will always be
readily available.
Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Weaver, who
specialize in the raising of white
leghorns for market, gave a vivid
illustration of how poultry may
hike farm income. According to
Mrs. Weaver income from their
flock last year meant over SI3OO
to them and as they raise most of
their feed at home, a good portion
of that amount was net profit. Over
a hundred white leghorn fryers were
shown and the total cost to them
so far averaged only a fraction over
13c for each chicken, Mrs. Weaver
pointed out.
At Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Maddox’s
home, five home made outdoor
brooders were shown in use. A
demonstration on the candling and
grading of eggs was given by two
4-H Club boys. The lovely Maddox
home was opened for inspection and
Mrs. Maddox’s pantry and a 56 lb.
ham elicited much favorable com
ment.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Browning
and children placed their home and
dairy on exhibit and treated the
party to a delicious chocolate milk.
The spotless dairy was the source
of much praise as was the exhibition
of Austrian winter peas being turn
ed under by power equipment.
Last home to be visited was that
of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Morgan,
near Stark, where successful dairy
ing methods employing rural elec
tricity were studied. Crimson clo-
ver growing for seed, pasture im
provement, a demonstration in bread
making were other points of inter
est. Delicious ice cream cones were
served, to the satisfaction of all.
State officials from the Extension
Service in Athens present on the
tour were: Miss Willie Vie Dowdy,
home improvement specialist: Mr.
Walter S. Brown, director; Miss Lu
la Edwards, district superintendent,
northwest Georgia: Mr. W. A. King,
assistant project leader. Land Use
Planning; and J. V. Webb, of Rome;
with the Soil Conservation Service.
Hardwoods predominate among
the many species of trees that grow
