Aug. 8. Any farmers who need
help with their refunds on gas
should contact him at the office
Farmers here in Chattooga
County should soon start fixing
their land for winter grazing for
this winter and spring. Farm
ers in some sections of the state
call winter grazing “the green
gold.” They give it this name be
cause it increases the milk pro
duction and decreases the cost
of feed during the winter
months. Farmers here in Chat
tooga County would benefit if
there were more of this "green
gold” growing during the win
ter and early spring. According
to one agronomist, farmers
should start preparing to sow
grazing some time soon.
The county agent’s office has
pamphlets on winter grazing to
offer to any farmers desirous of
this information.
The county agent’s office is
still receiving requests for clo
ver, veatch and alfalfa seed.
Farmers having these for sale
should contact the office imme
diately.
DALE
CARNEGIE
he Won by liking people
In New York City there is a
group called the "Mexico Pil
grims.” They are Americans and
British who formerly lived in
Mexico. Two or three times a
year they have a dinner to hon
or someone who has done out
standing work in that country.
Recently, while the committee
was having a meeting to arrange
a forthcoming dinner, they fell
into a discussion and challenge i
each other to name an American
who had made $1,000,000 in Mex
ico. They named one man after
another, but most of the men
named had only added to then
fortunes by development work m
Mexico. Finally they agreed that
only one American had ever
made $1,000,000 in Mexico And
that man was Harry Wright.
He had made it, for the most
part, in the steel business. He
sold “La Consolidada” Steel plant
to New York capitalists for $5,-
500,000.
He was the most famous Amer
ican business man living in Mex
ico. In his home he had, for that
matter, the finest private motion
theater in the world.
The day Harry Wright arrived
in Mexico there was a cloudburst
and the streets were so flooded
that he couldn’t cross. Peons
were carrying people across on
their backs, so Harry hired one
of them to move him from one
sidewalk to another. So tfeats
the way Harry Wright came into
Mexico —on manback. Some en
ter on muleback, but Harry says
he is the only American who ever
entered on the back of another
The Mexico Pilgrims then
talked about why Harry Wright
had had such outstanding suc
cess in Mexico, and they came
to the conclusion that much of
it stemmed from the fact thau
the Mexicans liked him. He made
friends with them and was able
to work in close co-operation
with them, when other Ameri
cans had failed. Until 1942 he
was the only foreign director of
any Mexican bank; this one was
the Banco de Commercio.
He says that the reason he was
able to work with the Mexicans
was—First, he tried to undei
stand them, to accept their ways
which were different from ours.
Second he showed them that he
liked them and evinced friend
liness fdr them. Third, he did fa
vors for them. Fourth, he re
frained from criticizing.
He introduced baseball into
Mexico, and this me Mexicans
liked. Later he introduced golf,
and this the business men liked.
Still later he introduced the
“Black and White” Balls which
.became a famous national insti
gation in Mexico.

Visit to W. W. Cook Farm
The Chattooga County farm |
veteran trainees attended their !
regular class last Monday, Mr.
Calbreth Hucks, county soil con
; servation service technician, and
Mr. S. M. Robertson, soil sur
, veyor from the district office in
Rome, were in charge of the pro
gram. After short talks on mak
i ing soil conservation maps, the
value of soil conservation prac
tices and how farmers may best
take advantage of them on their
farms, those present were taken
to W. W. Cook’s farm below Ly
erly.
i Mr. Cook was one of the first
Chattooga farmers to co-operate
with the Coosa River Soil Con-!
servation District. Acocmpanied
by the owner, officials went over
thd entire farm, where they saw
and discussed the use and value
of cover crops, strip cropping,
terracing, kudzu, cutting ditches
and pasture improvement. Mr.
Cook said that he thought that
if every farmer in the county
would put a soil conservation
program into effect there would
be better farms here.
Approximately three-fourths
of the veteran trainees already
have soil conservation programs
under way.
