County Agent's Column
Agricultural Survey Being Conducted
A few davs ago Director J. Phil
Campbell,of the Extension Division
of the Georgia State. College of
Agriculture, announed that a sur¬
vey was being made to learn the
quality sold, and gross value re¬
ceived by retailers for agricultural
commodities consumed in Georgia,
It is being made by the Extention
Force of the Agricultural College
consisting of over a hundred coun¬
ty agents and home demonstration
agents located all over the state.
Special County Agent CooperMor
cock is making the survey in White
Towns aud Union counties.
The puepose of mis survey is to
(t) determine as nearly as possible
what it is the consumers within the
state are buying in the wav» of
foods and feeds which should,
produced within the state. (
determine as nearly as possibl
amount of money being sent o
the state for such common
products as might be grown wi
the state. (3)To furnish iufi
tioti for assisting farmers in Yj
justing their farm cropping
grams with some hope of fin
markets close at hand for t the
pluses of common farm prod
{,() To furnish informations
county agents inducing fan
put such products into mark
conditions so that llie retailer
handle. (5) To aid the C
agents m bringing about local
tact between retailers aud
dticers to furnish consumers
in these common farm prod
Local Merchants Cooper
This information lias to be gotten
from retail merchants. Your coun¬
ty agent, lias received the utmost
cooperation from the merchants
scattered all ovar the county. This
is uot the first time such coopera¬
tion has been given by the mer¬
chants. Their willingness to work
together with the farmers to ad¬
vance the common interests of tfie
communities they serve is of tre¬
mendous importance and assistance
in fiie efforts being made to develop
this section.
The survey is 1-3 complete, and
astonishing information is being
gotten on the condition of agricul¬
ture in W hile, Towns and Union
counties. When it is complete we
wiil all learn things we did not
suspect before. It looks now as
though over io<x> bogs are butcher¬
ed somewhere else in the United
States to supply our own farmers
with white meat and lard. What
is the greatest source of income
here? We will tel! you as soon as
the survey is finished. And ,u lot
of other things you do not know
about yourselves.
The Editor was given the sur¬
prise of his life Wednesday after¬
noon when Tollie Jackson present¬
ed wiib a turkey from his flock for
Thanksgiving. TolHe no doubt
had it figured out out that wi
would not celebrate Thunk-giving
in the ancient custon and didvjdt
want to see us disappointed -
Indeed, it was a most wonder¬
ful surprise.
Tollie, when we were enjoying
this ancient bird on the table out
table our most sincere thought
dwelt with you for your generous
ness and thoughtfulness in making
it possible for us to have tuikey or
Thanksgiving.

City of Detroit purchases 137 new Ford cars
Hundreds now in use prove low cost of operation
THESE 137 new Ford ears represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
21 radio-equipped Ford scout cars wore
trader! in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to 143,723 miles with a grand
total of 2,283,097 miles. The operating
cost of the 21 cars was 2.284 cents a mile
— less thaJi 2 1/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 377 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 300 in the Police Department traveled
a total of 6,591,937 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents
a mile.
Many claims have been made on operat¬
ing costs, hut here in the carefully kept
motor car records of the City of Detroit is
positive proof of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that

in manufacturing provide unusual strength,

and repairs.
The individual car buyer as well as the
