SOME REASONS WHY THE
SMITH-LEVER FUNDS
SHOULD BE RETAINED— \ •*
1. The State of Goorgia made a con
tract relative to this matter with the
Federal Government, when, by joint res
olution, the House and Benato of Geor
gia accepted the terniH and provisions
of this Act. This resolution was ap
proved August 14, 11*14, by the Gov
ernor of the State,
2. The Smith-Lover Extension Act re
quires that this work shall bo directed
through>thc State Collcgo of Agricul
ture and that tho State must offset on
n dollor-for-dollar basis the Federal
funds accruing to It, with the exception
of tho first $10,000 made available for
tills work.
3. Tho Stnto Ims carried out Its con
tract to tho letter up to tho present
time. Tho amount of Federal funds ac
cruing to Georgia for tho Federal fiscal
yenr beginning July 1, 1921, U $161,-
863.84.
4. Tho Stnto must appropriate $151,-
863.84 to offsat this.
6. Tho Smlth-Lovor funds mature next
year, tho amount duo from tho Fodcrnl
Government at that time bong $182,-
068.78, of whcli ♦172,058.78 must bo off
set by tho State. As it is customary
for tho Appropriation Act to cover two
yours ths point could bo covorod as pro
vided for in tho following statement,
which tho Appropriations Committoo of
the House lion boon requested to Incor
porate in tho Act which governs tho ex
penditures f(ir- tlm years 1920-1921,
“For the Stnto College of Agrlcul-
tuor, $151,853.84 for the year 1921, and
$172,058.78 for tho year 1922: Pro
vided, that tho, abovo appropratlon shall
tio used for tho purpose of co-operating
with tho U. S, Department, of Agricul
ture and tho various counties of Geor
gia in mooting tho requirements of what
is known as the Smlth-Lovor bill, and said
first mentioned amount shall become
available July 1, 1921, and tho sooouil
mentioned amount to becoino available
July 1, 1922.“
G- 'If tho State fulls to offset tho funds
ns indicated above tho farmers of Geor
gia will bo deprived of all co-oporativc
lienoflts accruing to them under tho
terms and provisions of tho Act nt tlm
most crlticui lime In tho history of our
ngrlcuHuro.
7. It would bo mnnlfcstly unfair and
mi unjust discrimination against tho
furngy-n of Geogia for this to occur.
It would lie ospocinlly unfair to cut out
tills fund mid lonvo other appropriations
intact.
8. A failure to offset the Smlth-Lovor
Act means tho loss to Georgln of approx-"
imntoly $359,009 of Federal funds. Can
wo afford this in times like thosel
9. 'Wo Have already paid this fund
in tho form of taxes. Tho' income tnx
pnid by Goorgin for the Inst throe vears
approximates $35,000,0(10 a year. Horo
is an opportunity to get sumo of it, back.
Those figures also show that Goorgin is
not poor; tlmt wo are iimilly able to off
set those funds, which nro used solely In'
tlm Interest of the farmer and Ills film
lly.
10. Tho loss of these funds moans tho
elimination of the boys’ ami girls’,elubs.
Tlioro are 18,073 enrolled this year.
SiuoQ the work began 109,203 have been
enrolled. They lmvo added $0,725,070
to the wealth of tho Stnto alone. Tho
boys' and girls’ club work is curried
on in association With the sehnnlH of
Georgia.
11. The nd ion oontomphitod would re
sult In the elimination of corn, canning,
pig mill ottlf club exhibits at more than
100 fairs In Georgia tills fall. It would
immit tho loss of nil nutrition classes of
under -nourished, children.
12. It would throw 250 peoplo out of
work without any notice. This would bn
a grout, injustice. Of these peoplo, 125
are women. There are at least 1,000 to
1,200 people supported by these agents.
They me nil Georgians. If tho notion
contemplated were taken they would re
cotvq no money for July, after they lmvo
performed thily days of tho most faith
ful service. It is not believed tlmt any
notion 'so uufnir and unjust to such a
largo, efficient mid faithful group of
men mid women can bo consummated'—
certainly not if tho facts in tho situation
nro understood.
ronu to organize its mnrkoting division
rind to enter into contracts with the ex
change that will insure it sufficient bus
iness to give it prestige ami tnko care
of the necessary ovorliend Charges.
Mr. P. H. Sandora lias been secured
as malinger of tho exchmig*, nnd those
who know him consider tliiB a wise
choice.
Tho nxchango is now ready for busi
ness. It is organized on brotul nnd
coiiiprohensivo lines, but .it cannot suc
ceed without the co-oporntlon of tho
county farm bureaus. It is in position
to return many times over tho member
ship foe of. overy farm burenu member,
and tho plans outlined above are inndo'
for the purpose of making tho fprin bu
reau moro profitable to its members. If
every county farm bureau in tile Stnto
signs tlib mnrkoting contract and gi/es
its whola-hcnrted support to tho exchange
tlio members everywhere will be served,
'the exchange will iso a succojb nnd tho
farm bureau will grow in proportion.

THE GOOD CUSTOMER.
Profits lmgiri witli -buying. Profits
are taken from tho goods Bold. Profits
nrc realized when the money is rang up
in tlie cash drawer.
If you buy with all the wisdom of the
world’ nnd leave one of every dozen to dlo
on the shelves—you kill the profit.
Jf you sell with nil the-energy there
Ib nnd leave one dollar In every ten to
blow away ns a bail debt—there’s your
profit gone and your business wiped out.
The thriving business is the ono that
deals witli thrifty people. The best
friend of profit is tiio good customer.
Business is done for ensh or credit.
Tho other tiling is charity.
Credit business comes to an end when
a man can’t pay his bills; cash business
stops when n man can’t pay money.
When tho town is flush with money,
almost any customer is a good customor.
But when the wheels stop business can
only be dono with the-mail who has cash
or credit. Tho other kind is a liability.
The dealer must choose between turning
him nway nnd losing the trade or trust
ing him and losing his money.
Tho man who hns something saved is
the only good customor when times ore
dull. If ho did not ssvo when ho had
monoy, ho can’t pay cash, of course. If
ho did not save when saving was easy,
he can’t ho a good credit risk.
The dealor is Bafe who builds np n
lino of good customers during flush
tiniOB. The dealer who does not insure
his trade is coming to the time when he
will huve but ono choice—he can go out
of business, or go under.
Profits that get us far as the cash
drawer are for tho merchant who culti
vates the customer who cultivates the
habit of saving.
The good customer can bo recognized
tiio minute ho coniOB into the store. "If
he knows how .to buy ho knows how to
save. If ho knows the value of goods
lie knows tho value of credit. If ho re
spects what lie owns ho respects what he
owes.
Oneo on a timo.lt whb not so. Tho
shnrp denier tried first to sell the spotted
melon. Tho shrowd ■ trader figured tlmt
tho onsiest guins enmo from tlm Ignorant
buyer.
But • now—and this dstinguishes the
business man from tho huckster—the
business man knows that tlm customor
educated in values is the best customer.
Permanent business—expanding busi
ness—is tiio object of the business man.
What people spend makes up today’s
union from wliic|i come today’s profits.
Wlmt peoplo snve flows into the great
prosperity fund that keeps business mov
ing; which ertoatest ,moro production;
which returns moro wages; which en
hances purchasing power.
Wise spending creates today’s gains.
Wise saving promotes permanent buBi-
noss—oxpumling business.
And tlmt is wlirit wo are all after.
• o
RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS.
Many parents loso sight of tho fact
tlmt tho vuention period is one Of grnvo
danger to tho growing child.
Tlm boy or girl just out of school feels
like tiio enged bird that is suddenly re
leased from captivity. It glories in its
freedom to tho exclusion of all else.
Mnny of tho lessons in deportment
that lmvo boon learned in the class-room
nro gradually forgotten ■, us the child
flnds'its way to tho stroot. There is no
room in its heart for nuythng, blit the
glorlos of tho present, unless tho paren
tal bund is over guiding its steps. The
future is a sealed hook which will bo
opened only too soon for its purpose.
Herein the function of the parent be
comes of double importance to tiio fu
ture life of tlm child, for tho careful
work and training of tiio tenclmr must
bo carried, on through tiio days and
weoks of tlm vacation period, not to tlm
extant of hampering tlm child in its rest
nnd reoupornton from clnss-rortui con
finement, or deprving it of tho innocent|
pleasures of life, blit rather tlm daily
impressing upon its young mind the
necessity for continuing tho rules of
conduct learned in tlm hours of study.
Children are quick to loarn and oqunlly
quick to forgot: An impression may
sink deep toiiny and be forgotten, but
if it js repeatedly brought to tho atten
tion of the juvenile brain 4 will ovontfi-
ftlly take root nml live.
Tim toucher is responsible to the pm
rent for tho proper instruction of tho
child during its hours of study, but tho
pni-ent has a double responsibility—to
both the teacher and tiio child—tlm re
sponsibility of safeguarding tlm work of
both.
THE WOMAN ALWAYS PAYS.
Joan Newton in Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
The pastor of n church in New Jersey
deserted his wife and children nnd ran
away with a young girl. When they re
turned, as they inevitably do, tlm pastor
wns forgiven by his wife and family to
whom lie returned nnd was reinstated as
shopherd of his flock! Tha girl wns
thrown out of the church—also her old
parents.
Now, the treasurer of nnothcr church
in the samo State hns dono tho same
tiling—only he 'complicated matteret
slightly by taking with him tho church
funds. ,
ThiH couple, too) hnve come bock. Tlm
former church dignitary is .being per
mitted to make restitution for the money
1m stole, and his pnstor hns already
called upon him with overtures from
tho wife and . family Who are waiting to
take him back.
And whnt Is going to happen to this
girl7 Well, they can’t throw her out
of the Bnme churcb where they are rein
stating the partuer of her brief joys,
because she came from the next town.
But sho has boon forced to leave the
town wltoro she wns awaiting the out
come of his trial for theft, and. ten to
one sho will be driven out of- her own
church, and probably hor own town, too.
Much hns been written and sung nbout
“the woman pays.” But in this day of
enlightenment and presumed single
standards, we would not have believed
it possible In a supposedly civilized com
munity that the man would go so froe
of censure while tho girl is Btoned. Yet
that Is what is happening in the second
instance within a few. mouths.
Wo hold no brief for the girl who
breaks up a home. Neither, are we dis
cussing the projs and cons of punishment
versus the “second chance..’’ But the
point is that the' men, older and with
much greater responsibility, who shared
equally in tho offense, were invited back
and handled with kid gloves, while the
girls found tlm world drawing away
its skirts. And while there may be, let
us hope that there is, more sanity and
justice in othot communities through
out the country, one thing is certain,
nnd that is that tho world has changed
very little in this regard Bince tlm orig
inal Mngdeleno—the woman does pay.
And it behooves every girl, even if
she is not inspired by conscience and
ideals, to shun thq path of iniquity, to
do it as a matter of, self-preservation.
For, as surely as night follows day and
the. day tho night, the woman pays.
MARKETING PLANS OF THE
GEORGIA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION 1 —
Realising tho urgent need of hotter
marketing of farm products tho Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation 1ms created n
Farm Bureau Exchange, tvhosk object is
nut only to find mnrkots nnd disseminate
information relative to prices, market
conditions, staimrdixntion nnd pack
ages, but more largely to act ns the
direct agent for .farm bureau members
having agricultural products for sale,
or" wishing to buy commodities which
enter directly into production.
This exchange will function in throe
mtiin lines for farm products raised
ill considerable' quantities throughout
tho State or any section of it. Tim 4x
cliango will foster and orgauize com
modity associations which will give the
producers tho advantage of co-opera
tive marketing of their commodities. For
example, sweet potato associations nro
now being formed in several counties
urider its auspices, nnd these will ’ be
united into a State association which will
be known as the sweet potato division
of the Georgia Farm Bureau Exchange.
In cases where conditions will not au
thorize the formation of a county com
modity association the county fnrm bu
reau will appoint a marketing committee
who will devise means' for listing nnd
assembling such commodities and dispose
of them through tho State exchange ns
their agent. A small fixed charge will
be mhdo for this service iu order to
maintain the exchange.
A third service of the exchange will
be. in tiio purchasing of commodities en
tering directly into production, thus giv
ing tho farmer the advantage which
oilier manufacturers have of purchasing
in wholesale lots.
I n order to carry out this plau it will
lie necessary for each county farm bu-
