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. EVIDENTLY QUALITY TELLS THE DOUGLAS COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY DOUGLAS, GEORGIA 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 I of 11-- f. ... >, .
