Montgomery of State Agricultural Department Here Friday. Mr. J. A. Montgomery, head of the bureau of markets, of State Department of Agriculture, was in our city Friday. The bureau of markets is some thing new which has just been es tablished. Mr. Montgomery has just taken charge and McDonough is the second city he has visited. The bureau/of markets was es tablished to assist farmers in breaking the shackles of the all cotton system. It hopes to do this by providing markets for grain and other products which farmers are being urged to plant, and al o by teaching the producer how to prepare this produce for the mar ket. Mr. Montgomery informs us that the latter is a greater problem than the former. He can find an easy outlet for these products, in car load lots. The problem is to secure these lots at the point of shipment and two requirements are demanded to do this; Ist, proper packing in secure packages or bags by the farmers; 2d, a place in the towns for collecting and storing these products until they can be Gripped in car load lots. Mr. Montgomery is now prepar ing statistics and making tne peo ple acquainted with the purpose of the marketing bureau and the service which it offers. He stresses the idea that co-op eration on the part of the business men of McDonough with the farm er is absolutely essential to success in this marketing proposition. He also wishes all the people of the State to know that his depart ment is ready at all times to fur nish information and render any service it can.
