THE CLEVELEND COURIER
VOL. XXI, No iS
The Farmers’ Counselor,
No better investment of the pub¬
lic money cun possibly be mode by
the counties of Georgia than in pay¬
ment of their part of the salries of
county detnostration agents. 1 n this
day of enlightenment and progaess,
when public opinion is goning for
wrrd along every line to new
methods and Increased efficiency,
there ought not to be a rural com¬
munity in the State without this
vulubable service.
In a certiu city in Georgia is a
gentleman engaged in business
department of a daily . newspaper.
Practically the whole of his time is
devoted to this work. Yet lie man¬
ages to keep a pair of farms going
several counties removed from his
home city, and has made them earn
a dividend every year he nrs had
them, with steadily increasing re¬
turns. A friend asked him : “How
do you make money on your farms?
1 never believed you really believed
knew much about farming, though
you talk much about it.” This good
natured qnip was not in the least
resented by the gentleman in quest¬
ion. He frankly replied : No I don’t
know any thing about farming. 1
dont have to know. The comity
demonstration agents run my farms
for me.
Then he went on to exploit! that
tire demonstration agent was not
being monopolized for his special
benefit, but merely stopped at
his fauns once or twice a week and
mapped out a program of work to
last, several days. He was giving the
newspaper man’s farm exrctly tne
sort of intelligent scientific, stipei
vtsii.ni he would iu've given his
own farms, if lie had been oper¬
ating a chain of them.
What (lie county demonstration
agent ts doing for the farm owner,
absent a majority of the time from
his plantation, illustrates the type
of constructive assistance being
renderd by demonstration agents
throughout the state. They are
adding more width to Georgia’s
rich volume of production than
any other single influence. They
are taking scientific methods of
agriculture from the college and
universities and actually applying
them to Georgia farms; not to a
few farms, but to thousands of
farms. They render the intelligent
planter a professional service of a
specialized kind, just as a physician
abvises him in matters of health or
a lawer advises him in matters of
the law.—-Atlanta Journal.

Save Your Rabbit Skins.
In recent years several kinds’ of
fur formerly of so little value as
to offer no inducement to the trap¬
per. have been raised in price and
consequently collecting them has
been made proftable. Rabbit pelts
whic.li are extensively used by hat
makers, are among these products
One eastern concern has announced
that it will need 10,000,000 rabbit
skins during 1910 and 1920 and it
desires as far as possible to secure
them from American sources. This
is an indication of a market which
should interest maany a farmer boy
this fall aud winter dried cased rab¬
bit skins will probably bring a rea¬
sonably good return' They are sold
by the pound which will contain
seven or eight skins. Many farm
boys can readily acquire in the
course of the winter, large numbers
of skins, which will net them a ti¬
dy sum and in addition, they will
have the plasure of trapping exper¬
ience. The United States Depat
ment of Agriculture will supply
any inquirer with the names and
addresses of possible purchasers of
rabbit skins and other pelts.
A. G. Maxwell Aeeeps New Position.
Matters which are of great inte¬
rest in the banking circles of (iuines
ville and North Georgia are splen¬
did promotions accorded two native
Hall county business men by the
newly organized Farmers & Mer¬
chants Bank of Gainesville.
Mr. James A. Rudolph son of
Mrs.E. L. Rudolph of this city who
has been connected with file Gain
esville National Bank for several
years has eccepted the active vice
presidency of the Fartneas and Mer¬
chants Bank. He is recognized as a
man. not only of sterling "character
but after long experience has estab¬
lished himself as a successful bank¬
ing man. lie has many friends thr¬
oughout this section wha will be
gratified to learn of liis splendid
promotion.
Mr. Alva G. Maxwell who has
been elected to fill the position of
Cashier was reared in Hall county
being the son of E. D. Maxwell
who resides near Gainesville. Mr,
Maxwell has had many successful
years in banking business. For three
years lie was cashier of the Farm¬
ers and Merchantr Bank of Cleve
lanp Ga., end nnder his adminis¬
tration the hank made a strikidg
success. For the past year he has
been connected with the First Nat
tonal Bank of Gainesvlle Ga.
It is conffidently beleived that
the Farmers & Merchants Bank has
acted wisely in the selection of the¬
se two well known banking men.
The dank is a growing iustiutiun
and will justly merst the patronage
of a big clientage. The new diec
ors just elected, constitute a strong
board, a consertive body, reperse
riling the biggest firms and most
snccessiul individual business tnen
of Gaines villa it is the aim of these
officers to secure business from ev¬
ery class of people and to make the
Farmers & Merchants Bank such
an institution as will deserve tiie
full confidence of its patrons.—

Clfppings,
We are sorry we cant run a
newspaper to please everybody but
we just can’t. Even Christ couldn’t
and of courre it ought to be ex¬
pected of poor country editors.—
Echo.
The newspaper man is blamed for
a whole lot af tilings he cant help,
such as using partiality in mention¬
ing visitors giving news about some
folks and leaving others out. He
simply prints all the news lie can
find. Some people inform him abot
such tilings and others do not, An
editor should not be expected to
know the names and residence of
uncles, aunts and cousins even : f he
should see them. Tell 11s about it.
Its news that makes the newspapers
and every man, woman and child
can be associate editor if they only
will. Never apologize when yon
give these bits of information to an
editor, for if there lives one so dead
that he has lost his appreciation of
such favors, he is dead, indeed to
every virtue that imparts value to a
paper. — Athens Herald.
