ever, and the well directed streams
of water finally extinguished the
fire before it burned anything
but the roof. The wa Is ware
slightly damaged by the water.
The house was occupied by two
families: Mr. and Mrs. E’Dalgo’s

MARKETING EXPERT
VJSSTS McDONOUH.
Mr. J. A. 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.
