USE GEORGIA CREAMERY BUTTER.
Georgia now has thirteen creameries, all hut
three of them estabilshed within the past year.
Thev are making butter of better quality than most
of the cold storage butter shipped in front other
states. Aside from being better in quality, it is
fresher. Approximately 10,(XX) pounds are being
manufactured daily. I his falls below the present
market demand within the state. Every pound
of it should be used here. When the Georgia
housewife buys the butter from Wisconsin or Illi
nois, or New York, she pays Chicago standard
price for a given quality and then adds the freight
cost, plus storage and handling by at least two dis
tributors. Why not organize a market for Geor
gia creamery butter, so that the housewives may
divide this freight rate with the Georgia dairy far
mer? Such a division would enable Georgia but
ter consumers to buy for less, and Georgia dairy
farmers and cream producers to sell for more. A
profitable market for cream on Georgia farms
means the success of Georgia creameries, and the
establishment in Georgia of dairy farming on a
permanent basis.
The establishment of dairy farmers in Georgia
means the ultimate maximum utilization of our idle
farm lands and a successful agriculture. The solu
tion is in the hands of Georgia women. Ts by con
cert of action they will ask their grocers for Geor
gia creamery butter, and insist upon getting it.
thev ultimately can buy for less, and every pound
of butter made in Georgia will be wrapped in a
Georgia wrapper and will be sold in Georgia up to
the limit of the supply. Nothing in Georgia is
more fundamentally important to every business
interest of the state, as well as to the state’s ngri
ctilture. than the success r*f Georgia’s newest indus
try. the creamery. Tts success is a problem for
Georgia women. What will they do about it?—

THE DAIRY COW AND THE HEN.
Tn his annual report covering the work of the
state college of agriculture and the progress of the
agricultural interests of the state during the past
year. President Andrew M. Soule had the follow
ing to say regarding the dairy cow and the hen:
It is gratifying to be able to report that there are a
number constructive agencies at work in Georgia, help
ing revamp the agriculture of the state and to orient it
along lines which will he productive of the most good.
There has been a veritable renaissance along dairy lines.
The boll weevil is responsible in large measure for the
changes which have been wrought in this direction. At
the same time the dairy cow is coming into her own and
the dairy business is winning a substantial place in the
affection of onr people, and it will not he readily dis
lodged .
The poultry industry has taken on new life. In many
communities it has been found that egg circles could he
organized and a superior quality of poultry produce ship
ped acceptably to distant markets. A considerable quan
tity of Georgia eggs has been marketed at profitable
prices in New \ork. White eggs from the college poultry
dl\ision won fourth place in the New lerscy egg contest,
and brown eggs won second place in the Indiana contest.
We are importing $20,000,000 worth of poultry products
each year. Ihe city of Atlanta, for instance, is chiefly
supplied from Tennessee.
\\ e have a home market at our command which we
cannot supply satisfactorily without probably trebling or
even quadrupling our present poultry industry.

A GREAT RECORD.
We commented last week on the loss to the
educational interests of the state which would fol
low from the voluntary retirement of State School
Superintendent M. L. Brittain. From an ex
change wc clip the following brief review of the
educational progress of the state since Mr. Brit
tain has been at the head of the state School system:
When Mr. Brittain went into office twelve yeart ago,
the educational departments consisted only of the State
superintendent, a clerk and a stenographer. At that time
the total expenditure for educational work in the public
schools of the state, from all sources, was $2,250,000. This
year the total expenditure, for this work is $14,507,333.
Much of this latter figure comes from local taxation,
or community self-help as it lias been described. Mr.
Brittain started a campaign for that in 1915, got the mat
ter to a legislative vote in 1918, when it did not attain the
success he desired, and finally got it passed and in ope
ration in 1920.
In 1910 the state was paying about $2,000,000 for pub
lic schools; in 1920 the appropriation was $4,500,000.
In his annual report, which is to be his final one, Mr.
Brittain shows in the past year the value of school houses
in the state has increased from $1,466,000 in 1920 to $2,268,-
000 at the end of 1921, and the value of that property and
its equipment jumped from $23,002,000 in 1920 to $2.1,330,-
000 the end of last year, while the total fund for public
schools was increased from $11,948,000 in 1920 to $14,5(7,-
000 at the end of 1921.
From present indications, there are going to
he a number of candidates seeking the office of
state school superintendent. This is one of the
most important offices in the state, and we hope to
see an able and progressive man elected, who will
keep up the improvement in our public schools.
The candidacy of M. L. Duggan is going to meet
with favor from a great many voters of the state.
Air. Duggan served as school superintendent of
Hancock countv for eighteen years, during which
time he brought the schools of that county to a
high plane: for the past five years he has been one
of the state school supervisors and is thoroughly
acquainted with the school problems of the state.
As be says in his announcement, one of the most
important and far-reaching public problems con
fronting the people of the state and the counties is
the improvement of our public school system.

A SPLENDID APPOINTMENT.
The nomination of Judge W. H. Barrett of
Augusta to be United States Judge for the South
ern District of Georgia has been one of the most
popular appointments made by the present admin
istration. lie. is well and favorably known to a
great many people of this section. Discussing his
appointment the Savannah Press says:
Mr. Barrett is a native of Augusta. He is a gradu
otc of the State University. He had been city attorney
there and is now general counsel for the Georgia & Idor
ida Railway. He has a large practice and is one of the
ablest members of the Georgia bar.
Judge Barrett is about 55 years old and is a high type
of man. He is one of the foremost citizens of Augusta
and when the great fire occurred several years ago he
virtually took charge of the city with the mayor and su
perintended the work of relief and rehabilitation. He is
a son of the late William Hale Barrett of Augusta and the
brother-in-law of Clark Howell of Atlanta. He married
the daughter of the late Congressman George T. Barnes,
who represented the Tenth District for several terms. He
has one son, George Barnes Barrett, who is fast rising to
prominence at the Augusta bar.
Judge Barrett is a great friend of Chief Justice Taft
and saw much of the latter during his several visits to
Augusta.
It is known that Judge Taft has a great admiration for
Judge Barrett, as he had for the late Joseph R. Lamar,
whom he appointed to the Supreme Court bench of the
United States. Tn fact, many people see in this appoint
ment the hand of the Chief Justice himself. President
Harding has made no mistake. There was no politics in
the selection.

The majority of the people know
that week before last a conference of
the Home Demonstration Agents of
South-west Georgia was held in Sav
annah for the purpose of the agents
getting information about the regula
tion packs of products also get new
inspiration for our work.
I, as agent of Toombs county, attend
ed this conference. I wish that every
club woman and girl could have at
tended. Each agent was required to
put a full exhibit of fruits and vegeta
bles, make bread, baskets, and soap.
The first afternoon was given to bas
ketry. The second day we worked on
pickles and vegetables that required
two or three days processing. In the
afternoon we were invited out to
Montgomery by the ladies Home Ec.
Olub where we were served a six
o’clock dinner. This dinner was suf
ficient to make every agent wish to
return to her county and establish just
such a club. Wednesday we were
served a luncheon at one o’clock by
the Isle of Hope club. After lunch a
demonstration was given by the head
teacher "in home economics of the
Savannah City Schools ‘in paper hat
making. These hats are cheap and
easily made which are really beau
tiful and expensive looking. Thurs
day after a full days work and several
lectures from prominent men of Sav
annah and representatives of firms
dinner was served by the Home Econ
omic Cub of Thunderbolt at their tea
room. No one can understand the
beauty of this place unless they are
lovers of the beauties of nature. As
we sat there we facet. 1 the west and the
sun set in its splendor of opalescent
just over behind a wildremness of age
old live oaks and pa'lms while the
roadside was a border of blue, pink,
white and lavendar hydrandures. By
the edge of the river was this wonder
ful white shell road hanging as though
it w r as a hugh sipder from a web was
this little tea room on the bluff of the
river edge. Behind the river the
yacht with their lights dancing across
the water .like so many fire flies.
Herer I sat, looker. 1 and thought of
these women who met here each week
and made these products that were
arrangd on the shelves around the
room. They sold these making a
good profit besides the pleasure deriv
ed from it. I can't see why we can’t
do something of the kind there. Ladies
we can, too.
One night we were invited by the
mayor of Savannah to a theatre party
at the Lucas theatre. Another night
to a picture theatre by the board of
trade, another night we were enter
tained with a movie party by a rep
resentative of the glass jar company.
The president of the board of trade
of Savannah gave a wonderful talk,
we were promised by the fair asso
ciation that all past prizes would be
paid within a few days and begged the
agents to co-operate in having a fair
this fall. I was very sorry to leave
before Saturday’s session but I knew
my club members were looking for
me. Toombs county is reputed to have
the best clubs in the state.
I wish to go back to the bread mak
ing as this was given special atten
tion as a state wide contest is on for
bread making. Any girl can be eligi
ble to enter this contest as sho will
make corn muffins, biscuit and li£,ht
bread at least ten times. The final
trial at the district contest in Douglas
the three winning will go to Athens
to try for the state championship.
The three that win in this with their
County Agent will be sent to Chicago
to the world’s show to have a good
time. Girls, why not let these three
be from Toombs county. Bread is not
made by luck but by practice and
skill.

Dad’s Responsibilities
You know the old song: “Everybody Works
But Father.” It is all wrong, and should be so
changed as to read: “Everybody Works Father.”
That would be a lot nearer the truth.
| In nearly every family somebody has to be the
“goat.” Usually it is dad. He works and tries to
save, but the demands of the family keep his nose
pretty close to the grindstone most of the time.
Still a little money, even only a very little, pinched
out every week and deposited at our bank might
prove a great help in time of need. Ease up a
5 little on dad and gve hiim a chance to do that.
