Orchard Plant.
If you don’t have enough fruit
trees planted, call around and get
a list of trees and a plan for an or

Buying «nd Selling.
Large numbers of farmers repeat
edly call upon the County Agent to
buy lime sulphur and other spray
material, buy fruit trees, seeds of
various kind, oTder machinery, etc.,
which cannot be obtained locally, sell
poultry, chicken, pigs, etc., buy fer
tilizers and in f ttt to engage in a
great variety of co-operative buying
and selling.
Some of these i miscellaneous com
modities can undou btedly be handled
to the benefit of II art County Agri
culture in general and plans can un
doubtedly be worked* out.
On the other hand,, some of these
commodities may be of such nature
or the situation concer.iing them such
that it is impractical t’o buy or sell
them under our present conditions.
The farmers of the County have
set lip no organization to handle this
miscellaneous business for them,
heretofore. They have reached the
point at the present time* where the
demands of this class of work are
so great that some kind of an organi
zation should be set up to serve the
farmers in this capacity, and to
handle this business for theon.
For this reason, a committee was
appointed by the County Agent to
look into the advisability of setting
up an organization to buy and sell
various and miscellaneous commodi
ties in the county. This committee
met in the office of the County
Agent February 14th and duly con
sidered the proposition. This com
mittee decided that certain commodi
ties could be properly and efficiently
handled by an organization properly
formed.
Therefore, at the general farm
program meeting at the courthouse
February 16th the following resolu
tion was submitted to the farmers
and those present and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, there is a widespread de
mand expressed in Hart county for
the co-operative buying and selling
of various and miscellaneous com
modities, and
Whereas, it is the belief that many
es these commodities can be suc
cessfully handled in a co-operative
manner, to the benefit of the Agri
cultural interests of Hart county,
and to Hart county in general, and
Whereas, the farmers of Hart
county have no distinct organization
of any kind whose business it is to
handle these matters, and have not
placed themselves in position whereby
they can legitimately and success
fully buy and sell certain commodi
ties.
Therefore, be it resolved, that it is
sense of this body, assembled here

■
February 16th, 1925, that a commit
tee from the respective centers of
Hart county be appointed, with »
chairman, and that said committee
constitute a division of the County
Agricultural Development Board to
develop the co-operative marketing
of various commodities.
That this committee set up an or
ganization which shall be a special
piece of machinery for the purpose
of co-operatively buying or selling
any commodity in Hart county which
can be legitimately and practically
done, and which will inure to the
benefit of Hart county generally;
And that said organization work
out plans as soon as practical for the
co-operative buying and selling of
any commodity in Hart county for
which there is a demand, and for
which there is a practical plan, and
which will be a benefit to Hart
county generally.
Respectfully submitted,
T. M. MYERS,

Committee on resolutions.
T. O. Herndon then read the fol
lowing resolutions which were un
animously adopted.
Whereas, it is the sense of this
body assembled here February 16th,
1925, that there be set up in Hart
county a special organization to
handle the co-operative buying and
selling of various and miscelleanous
commodities, for which there is a
demand, and for which a practical
and desirable plan can be worked
out,
Therefore, be it resolved that the
following committee be appointed
from the respective communities of
Hart county, to set bp this organi
zation incorporate it under the laws
of Georgia, and that as many of this
committee as will act as incorpora
tors for the organization:
T. B. Thornton, Chairman; I. S.
Hailey, S. L. Thornton, S. M. Rich
ardson. P. C. Robertson, E. F. Mc-
Lain, C. L. Ferguson. C. E. WiTliains
H. A. Kay, A. T. Campbell, J. D.
Johnson, T. M. Myers.
The committee appointed as above
has met and considered the situation
and they are working on a plan
whereby co-operative buying and sell
ing may be handled. It may be im
practical to handle some of these
commodities, but others undoubtedly
can be handled to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
This is a great forward step for
Hart county. The farmers will have
a head to which they can go to
handle their co-operative marketing
problems for those products which
are not being handled at the present
time.
More information will be given
next week concerning this.
