BENEFITS OF
DIVERSIFICATION
A Hart County Farmer Has
Learned How to Turn
the Trick.
One of the farmers least affect
ed by the ravages of the boll wee
vil is Mr. T. E. White of Hart
well, Georgia. For a number of
years Mr. White’lhas practiced
diversification and received all the
benefits'and advantages of this
system of farming. He not only
has one of the most productive
farms in that part of the state,
but has money to run on, plenty
to eat at home, and a home with
lights and other medern conven
iences.
Mr. White considers a few dai
ry cows, which he milks, a very
important part in his operations.
He says, “I have been working
with cows for six years. I start
ed with four cows and now have
nine head, seven are giving milk
now. I sold butter at first, but
I have been selling cream for
several years. I like to sell cream
better than to make butter. I like
the business well enough to fol
low it a while yet, and expect to
do a better business in the future
than I have in the past. I have
a lot of better cows and lam go
ing to feed therm better.”
Mr. Whitejhas been since 1916
a regularjpatron of j the Georgia
State College of Agriculture Co
operative Creamery. At times
the prices run con
siderablyjlower than, the lowest
prices ofßhis year.
Mr. White also tells of things
bought his
cows, among them an acetylene
lighting outfit, and a tractor. He
gives a great deal of credit for the
fertility of his farm to his cattle.
Before the boll weevil reached
that territory be obtained a yield
of cotton equaled on few farms
in the state.
If more farmers would follow
this man’s plan of farming there
would be less hard times in the
state. This is only one of the
many instances where this plan
has been and continues to be suc
cessful. F. W. Bennet,
Associate Professor
of Dairy Husbandry.

alumnae set eighteen months ago
as the amount that they would
raise in the $3,500,000 building
program that of
Georgia undertook with the mil
lion dollar drive, and which the
State is to carry forward.
The building program that was
worked out by the respective
committee of the University pri
or to the launching of the million
dollar drive, was divided into
two parts. The first was the
War Memorial Fund, set at 11,-

Georgia alumnae. This part of
the program has been successful
carried out. The second part,
which is the part that will rest

islature as the representative bo
dy of the State of Georgia. This
part of the program is to take I
