WITH THE COUNTY AGENT
A meeting of the live stock
farmers was held at the court
house Monday morning, April
the 21st, in the interest of the
pure bred sire campaign which
was put on in this county after
the meeting.
Prof. Milton P. Jarnagin from
the college of agriculture at
Athens and one of the leading
live stock men of the South,
spoke on the advantage of live
stock farming and the value of
a good pure bred sire. He show¬
ed very plainly why the pure
bred sire should be always used
on the native stock and that the
buying of a pure-bred sire was
one of the best investments a
farmer could make. He insisted
on the farmers killing all of the
scrub sires, as he felt sure that
the scrub sire was one of the
worst enemies the farmer has.
There were several other
speeches by live stock men af¬
ter Prof. Jarnigan.
There was a large number of
live stock men at the meeting.
After the meeting these live
stock specialists were carried
around over the county to visit
farms of those that were inter¬
ested in live stcok.
These live stock men would
talk to the farmers that were
interested in live stock and en¬
courage them to use pure bred
sires.
Three days were devoted to
this work and we all feel that
some good results will come
from those efforts. Previous
to this campaign I helped spray
several orchards and advised,
several about the preparing of j
the solution for spraying. i
We have ten farmers now
that spray their fruit trees reg¬ see!
ularly and next fall we will
some fruit that is free is from the j
worms and rot. Spraying
only thing that will assure you
of a perfect fruit.
I am still enrolling boys and
girls for the corn, pig and calf
club and will continue to do for
the next ten days.
I have a good many club mem¬
bers and expect to enroll more
in the next ten days. If there
is a boy or girl that wants to
join either of the clubs and I
haven’t seen them yet, give your
name to your teacher or write
me and I will come and talk over
the club work with you.
The best club boys are always
backed and encouraged by their
father, so those fathers that
have boys from 10 to 18 years
old should make a special effort
to get their boys interested in
the club work, so that their boys
will have an equal chance and
opportunity of the other boys.
Remember the club boys have
a day of their own at the fair
next fall and every boy should
have a part in it.

change Presented the Follow¬
ing Letter From • G. C.
Cawthern, District Man¬
ager
I am quoting below copy of
telegram from the Commercial
Superintendent of this date *
“Mr. J. Epps Brown, president
issued the following statement
the Associated Press today. It
is sent for your information and
you are authorized to give it as
much publicity as possible.
I have been authorized by the
chairman of the operating board,
United States Telegraph and
Telephone Administration, to
state to each of the state com¬
municipalities and the
public generally, that, acting
for the Postmaster General
these companies, if the United
supreme court decides
the Postmaster General has
no authority to establish intra¬
state rates, will forthwith return
to its patrons the amounts col¬
lected from them in excess of
the rates superseded by the local
exchange rates to be effective
May first.
I am so advising all the com¬
in our territory to that
and hope that the muni¬
and the public gen¬
will understand that this
be done.
The United States supreme
court will hear arguments in the
cases involving the right of the
Postmaster General to fix these
intrastate rates on May fifth,
and we expected a speedy de¬
cision.
In the event the supreme court
decides against the Postmaster
General’s rights, these refunds'
will be made promptly by the
companies without it being
necessary for the patrons to
make application for the same.
It is very important that you
give this statement as much
publicity as possible. Please
furnish a copy to each and every
newspaper at your exchange.
This matter must have your
preferred attention immediately
upon its receipt. CAWTHERN,
G. C.

ANNUAL RECEPTION OF
DELTA TAU DELTAS
Oxford, Ga. f April. 8.—The his¬
toric old home of Dr. and Mrs.
J. A. Sharp, former residence of
Longstreet, Haygood and Cand¬
ler, presidents of Emory, was
the scene of a merry gathering
Saturday evening. The occasion
was the annual spring reception
of the Delta Tau Delta fraterni¬
ty. The visiting young ladies
were Misses Mary Eppes and
Catherine Stowe of Newborn;
Nina Mav Graves from Zebulon;
Thelma Bray and Dorothy May
from Athens; Roxie Reed, Elea¬
nor Gordon, Emily Upshaw, Cla¬
ra Cole and Eugenia Peed, from
Agnes Scott; Florrie Sue Wof¬
ford, Irene King, Opal Gauldmg,
Catherine Rowe, Emma Belle

TOO MUCH BEGGING.
There are entirely too various many
solicitors for support for
organizations abroad in the land.
In our opinion there should be a
state board of charity appoint¬
ed for the purpose of investigat¬
ing all applications.—Covington
News. western states
Some of the believe
have such boards and we
some eastern states, too, -wheth¬
er they do any good or not we
cannot say, but the need is ap¬
parent.—Marietta Journal.
The war has certainly devel¬
oped a number and variety ot
“drives” and “campaigns.” It a
man contributes to all of them
he will have little left to meet
the high cost of living. There
should be some centralized
method of dealing with the vari¬
ous forms of charity.
The people of Georgia, good are
thoroughly aroused over
roads and they will not let up
until there is a system of per¬
manent highways throughout
the state.—Jackson Progress
