ON "BOLL WEEVIL
Business Men of The County Will
Close Thursday of Each Week
to Co-operate.
The business men of Greene
county win make a concerted fight
o/l the boll weevil.
A petition is being circulated,
and universally signed, agreeing
to close up shop Thursday of each
week until August, and urging the
extermination of the boll weevil.
Plans will be perfected, and full
announcement of the plans will be
made in a few days.
There have been many wavs
suggested to fioht the pest.
The business men and clerks
will get out one day of each week,
which will be Thursday, and co
operate with the farmer in making
a determined fight on the boll
weevil.
There is no doubt but that the
weevil is virtually destroying the
cotton crup in this setion.
While The Herald-Journal has
time and again warned the people
of the weevil’s approach, they have
waited until the enemy is at their
door.
Something must be done, and
every man, woman and child in
the county should co-operate in
the fight on the boll weevil. —The
Herald Journal.
Marketing Organization
For Sweet Potatoes
The Advisory Board of the
Georgia Farm Bureau, a business
organization of ten thousand of
the leading farmers in Georgia,
decided at its last meeting that
farm bureau members throughout
the state should have the services
of a direct marketing organization.
To this end was created a Farm
Bureau Sales Agency. It is now
just beginning its work.
An example of the value of this
marketing service may be had in
the sweet potato situation.
Georgia is one of the leading
states in the production of sweet
potatoes and in the past, on ac
count of inadequate storage facili
ties and lack of touch with mar
kets of the country, such a small
portion of the crops has been sold
that only in isolated instances may
the sweet potato crop be called a
money crop. With the drop in
price of cotton, farmers over the
state so increased their acreage in
potatoes that probably twice as
many will be grown this year as
ever before and thus the market
ing problem becomes more pro
nounced. To relieve this situa
tion, the Sales Agency has plann
ed to foster, through the county
farm bureaus, a sweet potatoe or
ganization. Growers throughout
thirty-five counties will be given
an opportunity to join the county
sweet potato association within
the near future.
After the organization work is
completed, there will be a manag
er, thoroughly acquainted with
the markets of the country and
entirely familiar with the market
ing of sweet potatoes, will be
placed in charge of selling this
great crop. Other commodity or
ganizations are now planned and
will be operated along the same
general lines, all to the end that
one day a considerable portion of
the crops of Georgia may be mar
keted through one great organi
zation, each commodity having a
separate division, but all organized
into one body and all working to
gether for the common good.
