VOL. XXIII, No S3.1
Georgia Needs Them,
Counties that have dispensed
with their farm demonstration
agents or are contemplating that
step are rightly admonished by the
Savannah Morning News that it is
false economy to give up such serv¬
ices just when they are worth twice
or thrice what they might be in
easier times—“even if it is more
difficult now to raise the funds
with which to pay tor them.”
If there were no boll weevils to
combat, no need for diversified
crops, no problems to solve, no
opportunities to develop, no lessons
to learn, then could a county afford
to be without a farm demonstration
agent. But otherwise it will cost
incomparatively more to be de¬
prived of his counsel than to pro¬
vide for his modest salary. Re¬
peatedly his scientific knowledge
seasoned with workmanly experi¬
ence has saved thonsands of dollars
to a single countryside and added
thousands to the common fund of
prosperity. When times are hard
sad when unusual difficulties beset,
then particulary is expert advice
needful.
The problems both of production
and of marketing which Georgia
agriculture faces this year require
all the light which specially in¬
formed and specinlly trained minds
can bring to bear. A new era is
upon us. An altered system of
farming is in advent. Economic
readjustments of wide rage must be
made. The county that lacks com¬
petent leading will be sorely dis¬
advantaged.
It is greatly to be hoped, then,
that by one means or another funds
will be raised to retain the services
of farm demonstration agents un¬
til legislation removing the pres¬
ent difficulties in this natter can be
enacted. In some instances enter¬
prising boards of trade or chambers
of commerce have provided the
money through private subscrip¬
tions; and assuredly a town can
take no better measures of safety
and thrift for the future of its
trade.—Atlanta Journal.

Whom Do Yon Choose?
It is said, that after our Creator
had made all the good and beauti¬
ful things, in order that they might
be truly appreciated,He then made,
by way of contrast, the beasts,
reptiles and poisonous insects.
When these were completed, He
had left over, scraps that were too
bad to put into the hyena, rattle¬
snake. scorpion or the skunk ; He
gathered these scraps, covered them
with suspicion, wrapped them in
jealously, marked them with a yel¬
low streak, and called it a “con¬
tinuous knocker.”
This product was so fearful to
comtemplate, that he created some¬
thing to counteract it. So He
planted a sunbeam in the heart of
child, and added the brain of a
man, wrapped it in civic pride,
covered it with brotheriy love and
benevolence, gave it a mask of
velvet and a grasp of steel, made
it a lover of fields flowers and
manly sports, a believer of justice
and equality, and called it a
“Booster.”
