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 BARGAINS ' IN ■ USED CARS Slightly used Fords. See me before J buying.

Hartwell, Ga. ■ 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, T. B. THORNTON, A. T. CAMPBELL, 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. ■■ " -O ■ ■ Methodist Church Good congregations heard two in teresting and inspirational sermons by pastor J. R. Barton Sunday.
