Unim^'Zlr 4*75 WILLIAMS & RITCHIE Milledgeville, Ga (CASH ONLY) The services of Mr. L. E. Swain as Farm Agent for Baldwin County, will be retained for the year 1923. 'This was practically decided at a called meeting of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners held last Friday, at which time an appropriation of $1,200.00 was made towards the salary of an agent. Mr. J. T. Oliver, State agent from the College of Agriculture was in the City, and appeared before the Board. He presented to them the importance of retaining the services of an agent, and spoke in the high est terms of Mr. L. E. Swain, who was recognized as one of the best men in the work. He suggested to the Commissioners an appropriation of $1,800.00 in order to continue the services of Mr. Swain, and State and Federal appropriation of $1200 would be added to this amount. A number of citizens were present uad made talks urging favorable con sideration of the proposition, they were: Capt. J. H. Ennis, Messrs T. H. Clark, Dixon Williams, Geo. W. Hollinshed and others. All of them pointed out the benefit that had come to the county through the ser vices of Mr. Swain. Capt. Fnnis in his talk stsated that the benefits derived froip the work of an agent were far reaching, as one skilled in the methods of farm ing set in motion influences, which spread throughout the county, as modern methods adopted by one far mer in a community would be taken up by others as a natural result. The County Commissioners went into executive session and agreed that they would make an appropia- tion of $1200.00 and suggested that the remaining $600.00 be raised by individual subscription. $60.00 were subscribed by indivdual members of the Board. Those who’ve been most interest ed are confident that the necessery amount will be raised, and Mr. Swaiu will remain as Farm Agent. Mr. Swain during the two years he has served as Agent in Baldwin Co unty, has rendered the most effic ient service, and his work has been far reaching. He is in bettor posi tion now than he ever was, to carry on the work, as he has become ac quainted with the farmers of the county, and is in touch with the farming methods of the county. The services of Mr. Swain are in demand and he has recently received several flatering offers.

There will be no admission charge to see this picture, and every one is in vited. It will be particularly inter esting to the farmer and his wife, and to the business man who is in terested in agriculture. While a ro mance is woven in tho picture to give plot to the story, and to prevent the hard, cold facts, which are driv en home, from becoming wearisome;' the primary object of the picturo is to show the benefits to be derived from the use of Nitrate of Soda as a fertilizer under cotton. The pic ture depicts actual scenes and shows in graphic manner the difference in the yields of plots of cotton under boll weevil conditions where nitrate is used and where it is not. This screen production is being presented by Wm. S. Myors, Director, Chilean Nitrate Committtee, 25 Madison, Ave., New York City, through the courtesy of the management of tho Colonial Theatre, and as it is educa tional in its theme as well as enter taining, looking to the betterment of agricultural conditions, we do not hesitate to recommend to our read ers that they witness the showing of this pieture, as we feel sure it will be interesting and instructive.
