VOL. XXXYI,
NEW CO. AGENT
NOW ON JOB
Ready to Aid Farmers of the
County in Agricultural
Problems.
Mr. J. B. Tyre, the newly ap
pointed county demonstration
agent, arrived a few days ago
and is now actively engaged with
his duties.
He has a very progressive pro
gram planned out, and with the
co-operation of the people of the
county, will be able to advance
the farming interest of Montgom
ery county to a remarkable de
gree. It is quite clear that Mr.
Tyre was not engaged until the
planting season was too far ad
vanced to advise in this particu-:
lar, hence he will be compelled;
to devote his time to other phas-;
es of the work.
One very interesting, and in i
fact, important part of his pro-i
gram is to organize the boys of
the county into a pork club, in
which each boy agrees to raise I
one hog for pork purposes. At
the proper time these hogs will
be assembled and sold for a price j
possibly higher than the market
price. Let the boys be ready to
enter this plan, which will be set
forth in the county paper in a few
davs.
Mr. Tyre has called a meeting;
of the farmers and poultry rais- j
ers for April 15, at the court;
house, 10 a. m. Let those inter
ested take notice and attend.
From time to time Mr. Tvre
will give notice of plans and j
movements of benefit to the peo- ,
pie, and The Monitor as usual j
will co-operate with any move
ment calculated to advance the ;
farming interest of the county.

Armenians
Need Relief.
i
Atlanta, Ga., April s.—Clothes
don’t make the man nor reveal
his sex either, in the famine dis
tricts of Armenia, where any old
garment suffices just as long as
it keeps the cold out. Skirt-clad
men, women bedecked in bright
breeches are common sights in
De jal-Oghli, a sub-district Alex
andropol, according to advices
just received in Atlanta by Hen
ry B. Kennedy, chairman for
Ce r;ia, of tie Near East Relief.
R. M. Davidson, of Ironton,
Ohio, now in Armenia, writes
the Georgia chairman as follows:
“I have often wondered about
Joseph’s coat, whether it was a
handsome collection of many
pieces of colored cloth, or wheth
er it was a bundle of colored rags,
all tattered and torn. If the let
ter, he would receive very little
attention here. The better class
of natives here are clothed a la;
patchquilt, and the poorer na
tives and refugees would be fine j
models for some stage designer
who wanted to improve on this
year’s model in scarecrows.
“Even old man Grump would
have to smile if he could see the
fifteen year old boy whom I saw
chopping wood this morning at
our refuge home for widows with
children, old folks and cripples, j
He had a pair of short trousers,
a woman’s red dressing sack, a
gentleman’s full dress coat which
reached below his knees, a Red
Cross helmet, an old pair of ox
fords, and no stockings at all,
though the ground was covered
with snow.
“Just now a man has come into
my office clad only in a pair of
torn trousers and an old coat
which was ripped down the en
tire back. Not another stitch
did he have on. He came stag
gering in, and after a twentv
five mile walk through the snow,
and fell to the floor in a faint.
The hunger and exposure had
been too much for him. He had
to be conveyed to the refugee
barracks after he had been re
vived, in an oxcart, for his feet
were so badly frozen he could no
longer stand the pain caused by
walking.
“Outside of food, the old
clothes bales from America are

All were present three days last
week. Twenty-three were pres
ent one day and twenty-two the
next. By Edna Earle Smith
and Thomas Calhoun.
Fifth Grade-
On the whole we had a good
week's work. Some in the dif
ferent studies have improved
even more than 100 percent. We
are proud, indeed, of this, still
;we are sorry to say that some
i don’t realize that it takes effort
j to accomplish anything.
Honor Roll—
Louise Currie, Nina Salter,
Lucius Brady, John and Joe Un

Rosa Daniels, Margaret Salter,

We have nearly finished our,

j Curtis Browning from Glen- j

i these being the only tardy marks ’
against us.
j None of our grade had a birth
day last Saturday. We were all
at school and did not attempt to
! celebrate. We were rather glad
that April first came on Satur
day and examination week for
because of those things we had a
half holiday.

; Georgia Strong in the Great
Co-operative Cotton Sale
Movement.
Albany, Ga., April 4.—About
one-third of the twenty-seven
Georgia counties that reached
their quota by April 1 in the cam
paign to sign 200,000 bales of
Georgia cotton for co-operative
selling were in Southwest Geor
gia, according to a statement
made here yesterday by C. B.
Caldwell, field agent in South
west Georgia for the Georgia
! Cotton Growers’ Association.
The association had set a goal
of 200,000 in Georgia, and had
included a provision in the con
tracts that they would not be
binding if that number was not
signed up by April 1. When the
|returns were checked Saturday
it was found that 240,000 bales
had been signed. In the entire
! South, more than two million
j bales have been signed up for
pool selling this year, and it is
predicted that in a few years the
i bulk of the crop will be handled
j through this association, just as
1 the fruit crops of California are
I handled through co-operative
; marketing associations.
