COMMITTEES TIMELY REPORTS TO FARM BUREAU Secretary Cox Told of Work Already Accom plished Farm Plans For Year Suggested Resolutions Timely. Last Saturday, at the Court House, the annual meeting of the Bartow County Farm Bu reau was held. Below will be found reports read at that meeting- by Secretary Cox. the Committee on Farming Plans for the year, a well as the re port of the Resolutions Commit tee. A full story of the meeting is published elsewhere in this is sue of The Tribune-News. The reports follow: Secretary’* Report During the fall of 1919, the farmers iu different sections of the United Stales realised that something had to lx- done In order to try to meet tho coming crisis of the s ump In the prod ucts produced on the farm. So a meet ing was called in Chicago and represen tative* scot fronii the different states to formulate plans and suggest solution. Mr J W Vaughan, of the Ilunk of Car tersvlllo. and James It Morton was sent from Georgia and these men helped form what Is now the American Farm Hureau Federation, whleh now has a membership of over l.auu.'iOu formers Soon after Georgia called a state meeting to t)e held In Atlanta, allowing each county that would pay a member ship fee of $25 to enter the organization. 'Hie latter i>art of December of 1919 a few men m<ot here and suggested that they wanted to be one of the first coun ties to get into the organization, and not having a membership fee at this time, to coUect dues, twelve men pres ent donated $2 DO each for this fee. Mr. J. W Vaughan, Henry Milam, O C Omer and K. W. Jackson attended this meeting In Atlanta, the first of January, at their own expense. As this meeting lasted only one day, It was Im possible bu make many dettnite plans and, 100.

Let me urge each boy in the com munity between ten and eighteen to be present. Yours truly, C. H. COX, County Agent. steps to take. No action was taken as to the duns at this time, and the state had very little money to operate upon, as only counties paid their n embersh.p fee. But the advisory board met later In the summer and thought a fee of $5 would work out in Georgia. In the meantime, the farmers in Bar tow county felt that they should make some move, and they had a meeting at tie court house and elected W. A. Dodd, chairman; J. S. Calhoun, treasurer; C. H Cox, secretary. Soon after this the national secre tary, J W. Coverdale, made a tour of Georgia, and he w'as ask’d to come to Cartersville, so ill August, 1990, the dlffernt counties of the Seventh Con gress-ium! d'scrict met in Carlersviiie and heard Mr. Coverdale and Mr. Mor ton state chairman. Just prior to this meeting we thought It w'ise to see how the farmers In Bar low felt ahofit this matter Mr. Strahan was asked to come to the county and og over the work with the county agent and as was suggested we had made a membership blank as we tliought to cover a three-year period at $5 p*'r year. We spent two days and one-Eialf seeing those we could, and had thirty-seven to sign up, and reported the same at the meeting when Mr. Coverdale was in Cartersville. Ai the close of Mr. Coverdale's tour the advisory board of the state- met and lmraedltaely saw that with only $5 dues they could not go far In organizing VV'.th tins In v.ew ihe (lues were placed at $D per year witEi 12 extra for organ izat on purposes the first year, but it was agreed that these men wlio Eiad signed up and paid tiieir ID, they would let that stand. On November 8, 1920, the state sent three organizers to Bartow county for a short time, and you know the result of this canvas: Thirty-seven Joined, 2D paid up, 166 applications, 127 paid ref. ID2. It was not what it ought to have been in the, way or covering ihe county only a small per cent of the farmers In tho county could be seen in such a short time Whatever good has been accom plished It could have been doubled with double membership. January, 1921, held an annual meet, ing to elect officers and advisory board members. The follow'ing of fleers were elected; Henry Milam, chairman; J. S. Calhoun, treasurer; H. C. Cox, secretary tdvlsory board; Robert Boyd, J. I, White C. 8 Cox, It. W. Jackson, Hugh Oilreath, 8 8 Alwooel, J. 8. Beasley, W. D. Plttard, W. D. Itavidson, Blake Rutland, and gave the board the right to add to their number as they saw Ht, and some few additions have been made during the year. The advisory board met the same aft ernoon as the unnual meeting and nom inateq committees and divided the w r i, for the year, and they have had three other meetings during the year. .me i ports of ihe committees will show part of the work done, und other The Marketing Committee of the Farm Bureau has the following prices on fertilizer materials: Bulk 16 per cent acid, f. o. b.

"Ever since Tan’ac pulled me out of | the hole and put me on my feet, two ' years ago, I have been in the. p'nk of 1 condition," said Thomas B. Morris Plant City Fla. "I never miss a chance te> recommend Tanlac, for I know what It can do. When I began taking it I had no appe tite and was all run down as the result of stomach trouble-. My liver was all out of orde-r too, and I was Just about all In. The fact Is, 1 was ready to give up the fight, as I had tried so many medicines that had fulled to do me any good. ”1 can say for Tanlac that it is no more like the other medicines I tried than day Is like r.lght. I began to mend from the first dose and kept It up until I was in perfect health. In my opinion, it is the best thing ever sold In a drug store for stomach trouble and a run | down condition." Tanlac is sold in Cartersville by V’oung Bros ' Drug Cos. —adv. things which thy have started. As has been stated time and again at other me*etlngs, we are poor hands to sell what we have. In the first place, we do not fix things attractively; do not try to display what we have for fear someone will Insult us; in fact, we are unorganized and trying to sell to or ganized people. Now when we organize to where we can go to the people and tell them we will furnish you so many dozen eggs so many chlckns, so many berries, so many bushels, and do this re*gularly and promptly, and In such quantities that we can make money on a small profit we get what Is coming to us, but until we do this we will always be living hard The work alone that was done In buying fertilizer last spring saved the farmers of Bartow county for every ton of fertilizer used the price of a year’s membership In the Farm Bureau.

If a few farmers are will. . ing to launch out, and stick, it is such a great help to all I believe they need our hearty support, and we should pledge ourselves together In such a way that we will help the other fellow to See our rights and place ourse.ves in I such an attitude that he can help us. j Potato plants were selling at $2.40 ! [ter 1,000 here last spring, and a few of j us got together and went to the same I man and told him we wanted 600.000 j plants what will you do? He delivered j the plants to us at $1.40 per 1.000 Why? • Because he knew how many we wanted, I and he could buy right. This is an ex jan pie of what can be done. The same j thing holds true on feed fertilizer, ma ! ch.nery, wagons, auto tires and many of our costly commodities. Now, one man cannot do this, neither j can twelve men do it; but 200, 300 or 1 500 men can if they will, 1 am here to help you carry out what ! ver progrtm you wish for the year and , to aid you in making your plans.

It will be a medium to bring our produce together and help us sell. Report of the on Farming Plans for 1922. The committee, taking into consider, cii that the farmers must use the “'inn* lnt:d Ihe same or and tin* gide tools that he has used in the past, 1 therefore, any change must be a mod ification rather than a complete re. .vision of the old methods. Every furm must be as near self - ! sustain ng as possible. With the neces sary reduction of cotton acreage as > we l as a reduction In cotton yield, due to the boll weev'l there will be less money to buy supplies Investigations by the U. 8 Depart ment of Agriculture show that the av erage adult person needs the following supplies per year: Vegetables, sweet and Irish potatoes, 13 1-2 bushels. Fruit, 3 1-2 bushels. Corn meal 156 pounds. Flour, 225 pounds. Syrup, 8 gallons. Poultry. 67 1-2 pounds. Butter, 45 1-2 pounds. Buttermilk, 97 gallons. Milk, 17 gallons. Beef, 12 pounds. Pork and lard, 138 pounds. Eggs, 28 1-2 dozen. To furnish the live stock products, two cows, three pigs and twenty-live ] hens will be required. Farm Maintenance Crops. Acres required to grow the foodstuffs and feed required for a family of five adults, two cows, three hogs, twenty, five hens and two mules; I Corn with peas, 13 1-2 acres. | Oats, 4 acres Wheat, 4 acres. Cowpea hay, 8 acres. Cottonseed, 6 acres. Permanent pasture. 7 acres Sweet potatoes, Irish, vegetables and fruit, 2 acres. Cotton has long been the mainstay of our county and should continue to be one of our main money crops. Be sides, only a few farmers can follow a highly specialized form of livestock fruit or truck farming. The acreage will of course will have to be reduced so we will have more time to fight the boll weevil. The amount of cotton a man should try to grow will depend upon his soil and the amount of labor he has. In growing other cash crops, we will have to con sider the ability of the labor, the prob able price, market to be reached. For most we will have to grow, corn, oats, wheat and hay, as we have the facilities to care for these and they are standard crops that we understand. In some sections we can grow sweet po tatoes, and others, soy beans and others it is possible to raise poultry in such quantities they would be considered a money crop. Syrup, peanuts and broom corn might be considered. The most important thing to con sider in growing a cash crop will be the quantity of any one crop in order to make a profit from the amount. Cropping system for a general crop RESERVE^> —And Possibly We Can Serve You, Too* Not so many weeks ago, a young business man be lieved he saw an opportunity to “Put a thing across.” Having confidence in his own ability, he thought the plan out, came to this bank for a talk with our officials, which he found as easy as going into any store to make a purchase, and before he had left suggestions had been given him, through which he did complete the deal. Hardly a day passes but that such incidents as the above make up a part of the routine duties of our offi cers. It is always a pleasure to serve young men-to render any suggestions that will help solve their individual problems. If you are one such, drop in to see us—learn how hu man you’ll find everybody here—and how easy some things are done, if transacted through this bank. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK Cartersville. : : : : Georgia farm of two mules: Cotton, 15 acres. Corn, 21 acres. Wheat, 4 acres. Oats, 10 acres. Cowpea* after small grain, 14 acres. Vegetables, fruit, 3 acres. Pasture 7 acres. Now this will give a surplus acreage above the maintenance crops for the farm and it is suggested that the far to 100 per farm Wth this we believe mer increase his poultry from 25 hens that the farmer will be able to solve his problems. But each farm' r will need to adapt this program to his farm, since no two farms are alike, it is impossible to pro pose a plan that will meet all require ments. Numerous changes will sug gest themselves and will be absolutely necessary to anyone who tries to adapt a plan for their farm' to fit the soil and his market conditions. Above ail things provisions for the maintenance of his farm should come iirst. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on this point. During the read justment period, the farmer wno does not prov'de food for hints If and family on his own farm is very likely to suffer actual hardships, if not hunger. (Signed) W 1J Davidson. N. M.

The various reports have been made as to the progress of the farm bureau for the past year both us to what has been done, and what can be done for th greatest benefit to the far mer and to the financial Interests of our county as a wholt;, therefore Be it Resolved, and recommended, that the acreage to be p’anted n a cot ton crop be confined strictly to the ability of the farmer to supply himself with all necessary food stuffs for stock and cattle, and for the production of all things that ar e necessary to sustain things that are necessary to sustain and feed the families dependent upon that farm, and then make his cotton acreage to conform to the above out lined. Be it further Resolved, That the far mers of Bartow county give their active support to the farm bureau by joining it and paying the small rr.embrship fee and supporting it in every way by their co-operation. Be it further Resolved, That the far mers are urged to investigate carefully as to the fertilizer necessary, and that a sufficint amount of the best fertilizer suited to their soil be used, and in such amount as will give quick and effective results to the erop.

I got so bad at times, I just couldn't turn; the pains were so severe In the small of my black. I was nervous and my kidneys didn't act properly. Doan's certainly did me a lot of good and I am very grateful to this medicine. I can't praise this remedy enough " Price 60c, at all dealers.

It is also recommended that this bu reau be worked stridtly on a bus ness basis and that where an officer or com mittee man be required to -p'-nil any m.'.ney in working for the bureau that his expenses for same be paid by the bureau. Be it further Resolved That we ap preciate greatly the offer of the Car tersville Chamber of Commerce to co operate with us in our efforts to bring about better farming conditions, and wish to assure that organization we are also ready and willing to lend the Chamber of Commerce any co-operation within our power We 'desire to espe cially thank President Wilbur J.

It is the desire -of your resolution committee to impress upon the mem bership the vast importance of thiH bureau and the work that it can ac complish in the future if the members will give it their active support and patronage.
