W. R. TUCKER RESIGNS
AS DEMONSTRATION AGENT
W. R. Tucker, who for eight years j
has been government demonstration |
agent for Chattooga county, and to'j
whose territory the adjoining coun-I
ty of Walker was recently added has !
resigned to go to a still larger field,
and in the change this and Walker
county loses a most valuable factor
in the promotion of scientific agri
culture.
Mr. Tucker has been appointed dem
onstration agent for the splendid
South Georgia counties of Tift,
Thomas and Colquit at an attractive
advance in salary, and left for his
new location last Tuesday. The
South Georgia counties to which Mr.
Tucker has been sent are rich, fer
tile and comparatively new and their
farming development will undoubted
ly be materially advanced by the
work of their new demonstrator. Mr.
Tucker is a very hard worker and a
man of enthusiam and intense ap-.
plication. He is no dreamer or book
farmer —it has to come out of th?
soil with increased yield and impi'bv'ed
quality or Tucker adds nothing to
the count. He has made land yield
10 bushels of corn to the acre in
this county that had only averaged
8 or 10 for years. Poor land was his
hobby. He has taught our farmers
many important and practical lessons
on farming and the county is richer
and more progressive by reason Os
his services. He was especially
strong with the boys and young far
mers and his earnestness, knowledge
and enthusiasm will bear fruit in
Chattooga county for many years to
tome. Good luck to him.
Another demonsrattion agent for
Chattooga county will be appointed
within a short time.

earnest, fearless, loving, Scripturial
and accompanied with great power.

Strain by Mr. N. K. Bitting for
experimantal purposes. This pig was
230 days old Monday and weighed,

butchered Monday and they weighed.

fine hogs and Mr. Strain understands

and consequent rapid growth and
increase in weight.
TEN MILLION BUSHEL GAIN
IN CORN CROP OF GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10. —Everyone
who witnessed the corn show recent
ly held in Atlanta under the auspic
es or the Chamber of Commerce will
agree with President Soule, tof the
State College of Agriculture, that the
work of the boys’ coru clubs will be
pressed forward more successfully
next year than ever before. The
number and quality of tho exhibits,
together with the enthusiasm of tho
young farmers themselves, gave am
ple proof that this good movement
bears within itself the elements of
vigorous and ceaseless growth. “We
can count on the fervor and patriot
ism of the boys,’’ says Dr. Soule,
“and I believe that at the colse of
another year we shall find their corn
clubs still more deeply enshrined in
the hearts of Georgia people.”
This last remark is a significant
one. In town and cities as well as
In rural districts, the people as awhole
are realizing more and more keenly
the practical value of the corn club
enterprise. Merchants are seeing
that it adds to their trade, railroads
that It. Increases their traffic, bankers
that it widens and quickens all chan
nels of prosperity, and the general
public that it is steadily developing
the. resources of the commonwealth.
Georgia’s corn crop for 1913 is said
to exceed that of the year before by
ten million bushels, the equivalent,
as Dr. Soule points out, of as many
dollar. It 1h the biggest corn crop
in the State’s history. It. means
not only more money to be spent, but
also more money to be kept at home,
more independence for the farm ami
therefore, a richer measure of pros
perity for all interested.
Naturally, the people of Georgia
regard with the heartiest favor a
[movement that brings such results,
and It is chiefly the boys’ corn clubs
that are to be credited. They have
I been generously encouraged during
the past year, but they should, and
doubtless will, receive more liberal
support In the year ahead.
Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it at
tacks children so suddenly they are
I very apt to choke unless given the
proper remedy at once. There is
nothing better in the world than Dr.
King’s New Discovery. Lewis Cham
berlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes
about his children: “Sometimes in
severe attacks we were afraid they
would die, but since we proved what
a certain remedy Dr. King’s New
Discovery is, w r e have no fear. We
rely on it for croup, coughs and
colds ” So can you. 50c and SI.OO.
A bottle should be in every home.
