Quality First Service Always 3j|gj|
Igß IT is evident that the people of Douglas and Coffee county ap-
tSIII predate Quality and Service in bottled drinks as well as other Jj||
articles they buy.
i THAT is why you demand our goods overall others because you have been
convinced that the quality of our products are the very highest and that our
service is unequaled.
BECAUSE of this fact our business has grown in strides until now we have the largest output of
any bottling plant an the county.
WHY is it that our Quality should be so high? Because we bottle the most popular soft drink in
the country===COCA-COLA. Ours being a Coca-Cola plant is a guarantee to you by the Coca-Cola
Company that our Quality must be the very highest.
OTHER drinks that we bottle, Bludwine, Rec Rock Ginger Ale and assorted sodas are of the highest
Quality. They have to be or we would not bottle them.
THEN again, we have the most thoroughly equipped plant in this section of the country, which
enables us to produce the VERY BEST.
NOW THERE YOU HAVE IT
EVERY bottle sterilized; the water filtered; the syrup the purest; sealed with a guaranteed crown, and our delivery
service is UNEXCELLED. I
WHEN ordering from your grocer specify goods made by the Coca-Cola Plant, for it is a pleasure to him to send
you the Best.

Some Interpretations Of The
Smith-Lever Extension Act
(ANDREW M SOULE, President Ga. State College Of Agriculture.)
Extension teaching is defined in
(Section 1 of the Smith-Lever Act as
An effort “to aid in the diffusing among
the people of the United States useful
and practical information on subjects
relating to agriculture and home eco
nomics, and to encourage the applica
tion of the same.” It is provided that,
pending the Inauguration and develop
ment of tlie co-operative extension
work, nothing in the Smith-Lever Ex
tension Act shall be construed as dis
continuing tlie farmers’ co-operative
demonstration work which has already
■been in progr in Georgia several
-■’eats Fifty thousand dollars a year
Lav- been available from this source
Jfo some time pu-t and this appropri
ation has been wily continued up to
the present time. It is well to bear
in mind that the state is expected to
■offset the above fa id through local
subscriptions just as definitely as the
Sands are available under the Smith-
Lever act. This statement will, no
-doubt, clarify the situation for many
-and will explain why the counties are
called on to appropriate funds to aid
so defraying the salaries and expenses
ft both men and women county agents.
Moreover, since the passage of the
Smith-Lever Act, the States Relation
Service has been established by Act
of Congress. This office is intended
it act as a clearing house between
the United States Department of Ag
riculture and the agricultural colleges
■■■in the several states. Siuce many bu
reaus of tiie United States Department
of Agriculture have funds at their
disposal for expenditure on various
projects to be conducted in associa
'■tion with the state colleges of agri
culture, tlie usual half and half basis
adopted as a policy by Congress and
'he United States Department of Ag
rulture, Georgia, for instance, is ex
acted to offset at the present time
’er $55,000 of what may be termed
direct congressional appropriations,
f see the funds withheld and used
4»ewhere. Since the above appropri
ations are being increased from time
to time, it is reasonable to suppose
that tlie stat-.i will always be called
upon to finance extension projects out
of tlie money provided by local sub
scriptions aside from those set aside
"by tlie General Assembly of the state
to offset the Smith-Lever act.
The work which may be properly
conducted under the terms of the
.Smith-Lever act is definitely stated in
Section 2, which reads as follows :
“That co-operative agricultural exten
sion work shall consist of the giving
•f instruction and nractical den-w r.
tion in agriculture and home econorn
| ics to persons not attending or resi
dent in said colleges in the several
communities, and imparting to such
persons information on said subjects
through field demonstrations, publica
tions and otherwise; and this work
shall be carried on in such manner as
may be mutually agreed upon by the
Secretary of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges receiving the
benefits of this act.”
From the context of the preceding
paragraph, it appears that cp-operative
agricultural extension work shall con
sist primarily in giving instruction,
and, second, practical demonstrations
in agricultural and home economics
to persons non-resident at the agricul
tural college. The teaching work pro
vided for shall be made clear through
field and home demonstrations, publi
cations and otherwise. Correspond
ence, of course, may often be con
ducted to advantage, and personal con
ferences be held with an individual
or a group of persons. It is expected
that the county agent shall be a prop
erly educated and qualified expert in
agriculture or home economics, and so
capable of diffusing essential informa
tion of benefit to all the activities re
lating to the school, the farm and the
home. The agent should be essential
ly a teacher and must work with and
through the schools, thus aiding mate
rially in laying the proper foundation
on which to build up scientific elemen
tary instruction in agriculture and
home economics, and so successfully
correlate the activities of the school
room to those of the home —a funda
mental undertaking, tlie importance of
I w hich every thoughtful person is al
i ready fully convinced.
The county agents should be prima
| rily regarded as a teacher and adviser
! to all of tlie people of the county,
j whether they are attending school or
!at work in the field or the home. He
I should be capable of rendering most
‘ valuable service and aid to the school
teachers through the county school
j commissioner and tlie county board
| of education, and through the adult
population through personal contact
with them as they follow their voca
tions in the field and in the home.
Funds appropriated to aid in the main
j tenance of the county agents from
whatever source derived would seem
j to constitute a just and legitimate ex
; penditure of public money available
j tor education or for tbe promotion of
any public service work performed
; m the into:ex: of all of the people
