There were in Bartow eonnty in I92ft, 3,091 farms, a gain of 218 over the cen sus of 1921, and 057 over the enumera tion for 1900, when there 'V'e only 2.- 134 farms in the county. In this eon nection it is very interesting to learn that the census bureau says: A "farm” for census purposes is all the land which is directly farmed by one person managing and conducting agricultural operations, eitlief by his own labor alone or with tile assistance of members of his household or hired employes. The term "agricultural op erations" is used as a general term, re ferring to the work of krowing crops, producing other agricultural products, and raising domestic animals, poultry, and bees. A "farm” ns thus defined may consist of a single tract of land or of a number of separate and distinct tracts, and these several tracts may bo held under different tenures, as where one tract is owned by the farmer and another tract is hired by him- When a landowner has one or more tenants, renters, croppers, or managers, the land operated by each is considered a ‘farm.’’ In applying the foregoing definition of a “far’ir" for census purposes, enu merators were instructed to reports as a ’ farm” any tract of three or more acres used for agricultural purposes, and also any tract containing less than three acres which produced at least $250 worth of farmproducts in the year 1919, or required for its agricultural operations the continuous services of at least one person. Farmer. —A "framer” or “farm opera tor," according to the census definition, is a person who directs the operation of a farm. Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm op erations are not reported as “farmers.” Farmers are divided by the bureau of the census into three general classes according to the character of their ten ure, namely, owners, managers, and tenants. Ninety-two Women Farmers. The 3,091 farms were operated by 2,999 men farmers and 92 women far mers; 1,443 of them were in charge, of native white farmers; foreign-born white farmers operated four of them, while “negroes and non-whites" were responsible for cultivation of the re maining 562 farms in 1920. There were three 3-acre farms; 76 three to nine-acre farms; 368 ten to nineteen-acre farms, 1,341 20 to 49-acre farms; 694 50to 99-acre farms; 328 100 to 174-acre farms; 120 175 to 259- acre farms; 69 260 to 499-acre farms; 20 500 to 9999-acre farms, and two farms In the county with acreage ex ceeding “1,000 acres and over.” In 1920 there were 301,440 acres un der cultivation, as compared with 220,- 980 acres in 1900, showing that 80,460 acres had been made cultivatable dur ing the ten-year period. The percent age of land area in farms in 1920 was 73.3, as compared with 55.7 per cent in 1910. Values Showed Great Gain. The value of all farm property in Bartow county in 1920 was $11,309,540. In 1910, this property was valued at less than half this sum, or $5,669,474. In 1900, the value of Bartow county farm property was placed at $2,968,310. During the twenty-year period, from 1900 to 1920, this county’s wealth more | than quadrupled, when its farm va'ues are being considered. The 1920 value of farm buildings in | this county was placed at $1,906,370; [ implements and machinery were worth sa26 394. In 1920 Implements and int chinery wore listed at $180,587, and in 1900 at $136 230, the value in this p*r ■ icu .tr phase of farm activities increns | ing eight times. Hive stock in 1920 was worth $l - while in 1910 its value was $759,224, and in 1900, $393,100. What Averages Total. If >ou would like to know the av r ages, taking the. figures for 1920 ns your guide, all properly, per farm, was estimated at $3 659. the land ntid buildings at 2 981, while $33 17 is the estimated w rth of land per acre, tak ing the county as a whole. In 1920, 837 farms were operated by their owners, and in addition, 96 of these land-owning farmers rented addi. tionai acreage on which they made crops. Two thousand two hundred and forty lour farms were operated by tenants in 1920, as compared with 2,035 in 1900. Tenants are farmers who, as tenants, renters or croppers, operate, hired land only, the government officials said, in making up their figures. In another story, to ho published soon, The Tribune-News will be able to give interesting data regarding live stock on farms, live stock products; domestic animals not on farms or ranges; the value of all crops; the mortgage debt on Bartow county farms, as well as the expenditures for labor, fertiliu -and feed. These facts and figures should prove interesting to every citizen interested in the continuad progress of this county. BERRY SCHOOL’S TAX UNDER FIRE Governor, Being Swamped with Protest* Against Collectors, To Hear Facts Saturday Atlanta, Nov. 16.—Scores and scores of letters are pouring into Governor Hardwick’s office in opposition to the movement originated in Floyd county to enforce collection from the Martha Berry Mountain School of back taxes for a period of seven years, amounting to something more that $25,000. Saturday Governor Hardwick will hear from Miss Berry and friends f the school on the subject, and in the meantime he has given directions that the matter be referred to a throughly impartial board for an investagation, that board to make a report of its find ings to his office. From the excutive department it is learned that the effort to enforce col lection of the clainii against the moun tain institution was not originated by State officials, but by someone in Rome connected with the county board, after which the State’s attention wars called to the fact that certain taxable lands in Floyd county were not on the tax Do You Work Hard For Your Money?

Upon that showing a commission was given to the law firm of Denny & Wright to bring about the payment of the alleged hack taxes, and a commission of 20 per cent was to be paid that firm against the Martha Berry School. Is Technical Claim. Information is that the claim based against the school hinges on a leg'll technicality growing out of the com parntively recent at t of the Begisla ! lure in passing of the Constitutional amendment exempting colleges endow } ments. The old law exempted from taxation school and college buildings churches and charitable instit’uUuns. Some years ago, under that law, the question of taxation on the Martha | Berry School properties was taken up with the then attorney general, who h Id verbally, that this particular school ! was both an educational and a char itable institution; that the law on the one hand exempted its buildings and on the ther -as a charitable institution — exempted all the incident properties serving to make it a going plant, so long us it was not operated as an invest ment for gain. Under that opinion the lands of the school were held to be free from taxation. When the more recent college en dowment exemption amendment to the constitution was passed by the legisla ture, a proviso was written into it that Columbia Dry Batteries work better and last: longer —for bells an J buzzera —for thermostat a —for gas engines —for dry battery ligluing in closet, cellar, garret, barn, etc. —for ignition on the Ford whilr starting.

That proviso is the technicality upon which it is now sought to move against the | Berry school for taxes upon its farm t lands, the ugh those lands are admitted to be a part of the educational-charit able institution. The school ( which was founded by Miss Berry many years ago, has de voted itself to the development of the unlettered and practically paupered mountain boys and girls; taking them Tom the mountain fastness and a sur rounding ignorance and giving to them, frequently with ut cash return of any kind, a practical education in farming and the rudiments qf letters. To this work Miss Berry devoted her own lands as well as her own talents and entire time. As the time, went on the little mountain school attracted a wide at tention. and finally grew into a national attraction through the form and char acter of work it was doing, and to it tame certain donations which enabled it to broaden its scope.
