K.IAWANIS AIDS FARMING
The Ktavranis slogan, “We B«ild,
was never applied to better purpose
than in the farm-aid program recent
ly sponsored by the trustees of the
Georgia district of that admirable
organisation. They have retained
the services of Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the State College of
Agriculture an authority of national
distinction, to visit every Georgia
community in which a Kiwanis club
is established and to make a public
address, together with a special re
port, adapted to local interests and
needs. This work will be accompani
ed by soil surveys and the suggestion
of plans for particular territories and
even for individual farms.
The worth of this to the common
weal is beyond all measure. The
state itself welcomes the enterprise
as a free extension of its own efforts
to carry the benefits of expert agri
cultural knowledge and research
straight to the man on the soil. Presi
dentSoule thus will be enable to
reach hundreds of farmers now be
yond the active scope of the College
of Agriculture. Moreover, he will
come directly into touch with busi
ness ar.d civic leaders whoes awaken
ed interest in farm problems and
farm opportunities will be immensely
valuable.
Georgia Kiwanis ‘.s warmly to b:
con ratulated upon this constructive
undertaking. Its far-sighted, public
spirited investment will yield returns
in widened prosperity for many a
year to come. It will make so:
a more nearly general adoption of
diversified and well-balanced farm
ing, which is fundamental to the
State’s upbuilding. The rich pos
sibilities in this sort of farming are
illustrated'.by the following record
-of a Pulaski county farm, as re
cent y set forth in the Macon Tele
graph; “Mr. E. A. Saxon, of Hawk
insville, has a six-horse farm of
two hundred and twenty-seven acres
in cultivation and seventy-five acres
in pasture. His crops for 1923 were
divided as follows: Thirty acres in
cotton, twenty-two acres in peanuts,
twenty acres in oats, followed by
peas; 150 acres in corn with velvet
beans, peanuts and field peas; four
acres In sweet potatoes, two acres for
hogs and two acres for market; one
in truck, including three-eights acre
in onions, three-eights acre in cabb
age, one-sixteenth acre in turnips
and one-sixteenth acre in cabbage
plants. Mr. Sexton received for his
crops that were marketed $5,902 as
follows: $1,925 for cotton and seed,
$703 for peanuts, $l5O for onions,
$l7O for cabbage, $l5O for potatoes,
S3O for cabbage plants,s6o for tur
nip greens, $1,224 for cream and
milk, S2OO for beef, SI,OOO for butch
er hogs and $350 for pigs and feed
ers. The cash crop acreage on this
farm was fifty-five acres or only
about nine acres to the plow and the
gross proceeds amounted to about
SI,OOO per plow. Practically all of
the feed tor the live stock was pro
duced on the farm with the exception
of five sacks of cotton seed meat,
175 bushels of corn and SIOO worth
of buttermilk bought from local
creamery. There were twelve cows
kept on the farm that produced on
an average of $8.50 per month worth
of cream and skimmed milk was fed
to hogs.”
When this kind of farming pre
vails in Georgia, there will be two
snug savings accounts where now
there is one; and, more than that, a
doubling and a trebling of highways,
of schools, of health service, of rutal
home comforts, of personal opportu
nities, and of all that makes for
material betterment and forward
going. For its peculiarly generous
contribution to this field of enter
prise, in which there are many faith
ful laborers, Georgia Kiwanis merits
cordial appreciation and co-working

SENATOR HARRIS ON
IMPORTANT COMMIT TEES
Articles by James A. Honomon.
in Atlanta Constitution, January 34,
1924. —When in Washington the;
her day i. stumbled across the fact,
at if th • democrats win tha se*-j
ue this v«ar, and there is every
i .dicataO!) they will, Senator William;
Hams, of Georgia, will be the;
xt clwimjan of the senate ap
: opriatinris comittee.
It happens that the assurance
w-iich makes possible for the
icorgra senator to head the most
werftti committee in congress after
rvice of a comparative short timet
ome* wjth the definitely known fact
that Senator Overman, of North
Carolina, the senior demcrat on the
appropriations committee, wilt ask
for the chairmanship of the judici
ary committee instead of appropria
tions, as he is the i onior of both.
Senator Harris is next to Senator
Overman on the appropriations com
mittee.
When the democrat* were in con
trol as the eimate unti March l#lt.
Senator Overman wan chairman of
the judiciary committee, and the
lata Senator Martin, es Virginia,
tha lameernhir leader, warn the chair
man nf the appraprintiens oomi
mitt**.
lmterastiag facta abent the hiatary
•f fcha aaaata apprapriatiene com
mittee and it* relatiea te Georjpaaa
in the aeaate ehow that no senator
from Georgia haa ever heea chairman
»f the committee.
Senator Martin is the only math
era senator who has been chairman
in more than 65 years.
The importance of the committee
has been recenty increased because
of the budget law and the chsnges
in rules which placed lal ppropriation
bills under the jurisdiction of the one
committee. Until two year 3 ago
such appropriation bills as rivers
and harbors, post offices and post
roads, war, navy and agricultural
departments were controlled by dif
ferent committees than appropria
tions committee.
Between the service of Robert
Toombs in the senate in 1859 to
Alexander S. Clay in 1905, Georgia
had no representation on the ap
propriations committee.
William Few, a senator from Geor
gia, in 1789 was a member of the
select committee which considered
appropriations in the early days of
the government.
The chairmanship of the ap
propriations committee, both in the
senate and house, has grown to be
a position of powerful influence, as
every dollar expended by the govern
ment must pass the approval of Ihesc
two committees.
The lines of partisanship di appear
to a greater extent in the appropria
tions committees than anywhere also i
and the members of the committee j
are constantly sought by officials j
from cabinet members to bureau j
heads in the interest of funds from
congress.
The present membership of the
senate appropriations committo is:
Republicans: Francis E. Warren,
of Wyoming, chairman; Read Smept,
of Utah; Wesley L. Jones, of Wash
ington; Charles Curtis, of Kansas;
Frederick Hale, of Maine; Selden P.
Spencer, of Missouri; Lawrence C.
Phipps, of Colorado; William B. Mc-
Kinley, of Illinoise: Irvine L. Len
root, of Winsconsin; Henry W. Key
es, of New Hampshire.
Democrats: Lee S. Overman, of
North Carolina; William J. Harris, of
Georgia; Carter Glass, of Virginia;
Andrieus A. Jones, of New Mexico;
Kenneth D. McKeller, of Tennessee;
Edwin S. Broussard, of Louisiana;
Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware; M.
M. Neely, of West Virginia.
