STOCK RAISING IS
DISCUSSED HERE
Campbell And Jarnagin, of
State College of Agricul
ture, Make Addresses Here
Saturday.
Prof. Milton I*. Jarnagin and Prof.
J. Phil Campbell, of the Georgia
stajo College of Ag^culture, wore
prominent speakers before a number
of farmers and business men assem
bled in the court house in Milledge.
vilie Sat rduy afternoon.
Prof. Jarnagin. husbandman of uni-
mal imL' dry of the college of Ag
riculture, was the first speaker to
take tlie floor. He was introduced
to the audience by Col. J. D. Howard,
who hears an enviable reputation
throughout Georgia as an introducer
predecessor and successor of all oth
er speakers assembled under the
same roof.
Both Profs. Jarnagin and Campbell
came to Milledgeville at the iuvita.
tion of County Agent L. E. Swain.
As tiie first speaker on the program
Prof. Jarnagin went thoroughly into
the matter of stock raising. lie
stressed the importance of raising
cattle and hogs on a more extensive
scale and lie advised that farmers
make it a point to commence at once
to raise stock of the pure bred type.
*‘I know you people are thoroughly
convinced that the boll weevil can
destroy a great deal more cotton than
yq.' can make, and for such reason I
assume that you are quite positive in
your opinions that you must resort
to the raising of something else In
tho place of the fleecy staple” said
Prot. .inningin. The speaker told
at length of the investigations he had
made of the stock raising industry
in other sections of the country and
gave his ideas as to the best method
to pursue in tho matter of raising
hogs and cattle on a profitable bnsis.
Prof. Campbell is director of Ex
tensions for the college of agricul
ture. He was introduced to the au
dience by Col. Howard and lost no
time in turning loose information of
worth to his hearers.
A part of Prof. Campbell’s speech
was made in behalf of all county de
monstration agents.^ He stated to
his hearers that a n'.mber of years
ago (Te freely expressed hi3 bedief
that the matter of maintaining coun
ty il- monr.tration agents was all fol
ly. "I was called upon some ten
years ago to go out into Georgia as
a farm agent, taking as my duty the
advicing of farmers as to the methods
they might best pursue,” he continu
ed. •‘‘I was asked to go out into
Texas, across the Mississippi, and
ascertain what information I could
concerning the ravages of the boll
weevil and to find out as to whether
or not these destructive insects would
likely come to Georgia eventually,”
the speaker further added.
Prof. Campbell stated that the
principal cause of tho present pre.
dicumeiit of the farmers of Georgia
was due principally to their lack of
knowledge as to jvhat was confront
ing them. Ho declared that in the
beginning lie had but little confidence
iu what cot id be accomplished by
county agents, but after seeing and
witnessing the situation in the west
ern section of the cotton belt and lat
er returning to Georgia and ascerta.
ing the attitude of the cotton grow
ers of Mils state there was no quest,
inn ill bis inind as to what good might
lie derived through the working of
county agents.
Both Profs. Jarnagin and Camp
bell expressed the opinion that th
farmers of Baldwin county and
throughout Georgia will within j
hurt time recover from the effect
of tlic boil weevil and eventually bo_
ionic more prosperous than they
have ever been before. Tho speak.
held the attention of their hear
ers from start to finish and in con
clusion were thanked for their ad-
dr . by almost every oiio pre: nt.

G. M, COLLEGE WILL
OPEN THIS MORNING
Beginning of Term Will Be
Marked Bv The Enrollment
Of a Large Number of
Students.
Tiie opening of the 1921-11122 term
of tho Georgia Military College will
take place thin morning at 9:30 oelock
tho exercise., to be held In the college
auditorium.
An appropriate program will he
carried out at the opening of tin col
lege. Addresses of welcome will b •
delivered hy Mayor Miller S. Bell,
Judge John T. Allen and others.
Special music will also be included
OQ the program to be carried o t.
Almost a record attendance will
mark the opening of this term of col
lege. President Alfriend and mem
bers of the faculty have been busily
engaged during the last six or eight
weeks locking after applications from
boys sc<king to enter tho institution.
AH during the day Tuesday and a
part of Monday students wore arriv
ing in Milledgeville on all trains.
Tuesday evening tho streets here
showed signs of many new comers
and presented an air of real life. The
number enrolling wl’l probably exceed
that of any term during the lust two
or three years, despite lie depression
that has been in existance during the
last year.
According to reports it is quite cer
tain that the college? will have a win-
nine; bunch of r.thUt’s for the term
commencing today. Coach Iiarduge,
new athletic director, is confident
that ho has landed a good bunch of
'football and baseball players and Hint
athletics nt the institution thi3 sea
son will prove interesting in every par
ticular.
This term of the Georgia Military
College will be different in several
particulars as compared with the
terms cf tho last few years. There
will be several new members of the
fact Ity and many new teachers in the
grades will te seen at the opening
this morning. Too, there will be
i oled a wonderful improvement when
it comes dotvn to the matter of the
college surroundings.'
The students will bo agreeabl>
surprised, many of them at least, to
find the college so improved in ap
pearance. The building has under,
gone repairs to the extent of the
laying of new flooring, painting of
walls and putting in new window
•ash.
The opening of the college this
morning will doubtless be one of un
usual interest and the attendance at
the exercises will more than likely
be inuEtally large
