Some Interpretations Of The
- Smith-Lever Extension Act
(ANDREW M. 50V1.4&, President Ga. State College Of Agriculture.)
——-‘M *
Extension teaching is defined in
Sec@? 1 of the Smith-Lever Act as
an effdrt “te aid in the diffusing among
the people of the Unmited States useful
and practical infermation on subjects;
relating to agricagtare and home eco
nomiqg, and o encowrage the applica
tion of the same.” It is provided that,
Pending the inauguration and develop
men{ of the eeo-operative extension
work, noshing inm Smith-Lever Ex
tension Aetishad be eenstrued as dis
continuing the farmers’ co-operative
demonstration woek which has already
been in progress in Georgia several
years. Fifty thousand doßars a year
have "been, .available frem this sourae
for some time past and this appropri
atio‘x has been wisely continued up to
the present time. I is well to bear
ihnd that the state is expected to
s the above fund Mug‘h_leeal
subscriptions just as definitely as the
funds are available under the Swmith-
Lever act. This statement will, ne
doubt, clarify the situation for many
and will explain why the counties are
called on to appropriate fands to aid
in defraying the salaries awnd expenses
of bothiifien and woinen county agents.
““Moreover, since the passage of the
Smith-Lever Aet, the Btates Relation
Servjce has been established by Aot
of Congress. This office is intended!
to act as a clearing houss between
m‘Unif'éd States Department of Ag
ture and she agriouiteral colleges
in the several states. Sinoce many bu
r?flzg the Uni}:e_d i&aees Department
0 icukkure have funds at their
.dispospl fer expenditure om vamious
projects to be eondmcted in assooia
tion with the state oolleges ef agri
cultufe, the weual half and half basis
adoptéd as a pelicy ‘by Congress and
4flic United Staieés Pepartment ef Ag
riculture, Georgia, for imstanes, is ex
pected to offset at the present time
over $85,000 of what m¥ay be termeaq
indi'"x:’eot congressional appropriations,
“@r .seé the funds withheld and used
else‘%gere'} Since the above appropri
ations are being increased trom timse,
to time, it is reamne.ble\bo sappose
‘that the state wikl always' be caled
upon to finance extension projects eut
of the money provided by local sub
scriptions aside from those sot aside
by the General Assembly of the state

The work whieh may :)f properly

Syithdever act ie definitely stafed in

-tions and otherwise; and this work
shall be carried on in such manner as
may be mutually agreed upon by the
Secretary of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges receiving ' the
‘benefits of this act.”
From the context of the preceding
paragraph, it appears that co-oparative
agricultural extension work shanfion
sist " primarily in giving ithruotio;i,
and, second, practieal demonstrations
in agricuMural and hom® economiocs
to persoms nen-residént at the agricul
tural college. The teaching work pro
vided for shall .be made clear threugh

cations and otherwise, Correspond
ence, of course, may often tie con
ducted to adfin»tage, and pemsonal eon
;ferenoos be held with an individwal
or a group of p‘erson»s. It is e;:peot,ed
that the‘comntylagent shall bega Plop

Getting High Yield
Getting High Yields
How a Good Variety And Modern:
Methods Of Cultivation Panned
Out In The Field
(JOHN R. FAIN, Professor Agronomy,
State College Of Agriculture.)
Four acres of ootton grown on the
demonstration field of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, yielded
revenue as follows: Lint at 12 cents,
$282.48; seed for planting at :$2.00,
$121.50; seed te oil mill at $44.50,
$40.60; Total $444.58, or a return per
acre of $111.14.
The majority of the cotton grown
was College Number 1, a selection
made a few years ago from the Sun
beam cotton. This eotton has proven
resistant to anthracnose, has outyield
ed the original Sunbeam and is gome
what earlier.
The important lessons from this
demonstration are, the value of good
seed from a good variety that has been
bred up by proper methods to a fixed
type amd reliable behavior, the value
of a well prepared seed bed and the
econemy of frequemt and shallow cul
tivation by which the moisture of the
soil is comserved, the roots spared
frem being torn from their feeding
places by the deep furrowing plow or
dinarily used, and the completer sup
pression of weeds.
The lesson that can be applied now,
when the crop ie)growixig, is that with
reference to frequent and shallow cul
tivation.
