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 —Atlanta Journal. 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.
