CONCERTED FIGHT 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.
