BY CARL BRACK
Butts County Agent
Here we go
again with our
first column of
the New Year.
We want to
thank the Pro
gress- Argus
and Editor
Doyle Jones
for running our material in the
past. We owe them a greater
debt of gratitude than they know.
Certainly, they have helped us
reach far more people than we
ever could with just personal con
tacts and meetings. We appreci
ate their help.
Again this year, as we have
in the past, we will try to write
about timely and interesting sub
jects, in a practical way, in hopes
that the information presented
here just might be helpful to
someone. We’ll cover farming
and farm business, community de
velopment and 4-H work, land
scaping and gardening, and many
other subjects.
If you have ideas for columns,
or questions about any of the
above subjects, let us know.
Who We Are
As county agent, we represent
the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice of the University of Georgia
College of Agriculture. That
makes us a University faculty
member here in Butts County.
Extension work is a cooperative
undertaking of the University,
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture and Butts County. Our fi
nancial support comes from the
state, the federal government and
the county.
The Extension program is car
ried on locally by the county Ex
tension Staff —the county agent
and county Extension home econ
omist. We are aided and sup
ported by state and area subject
matter specialists.
What We Do
In our work we use the re
sults of research, combined with
practical experience, to help peo
ple find solutions to problems.
We work in areas of agriculture,
agribusiness, home economics and
community resource development,
and through the 4-H Club pro
gram we work with boys and
girls.
The Extension Service was cre
ated by the Smith-Lever Act,
passed by the Congress in 1914
. . . “to aid in diffusing among
the people of the United States
useful and practical information
on subjects relating to agricul
ture and home economics . . . ”
During the past 55 years we
hope our organization has made
a contribution to progress. We
believe it has.
We look forward to serving
you during the years ahead. Call
on us, won’t you? Our office is
located in the Post Office Build
ing in Jackson, telephone 775-
7031.
