Meeting of County Farm Bureau
1
The Cobb County Farm Bureau
Advisory Board met January 21, in
the office of the County School Su
perintendent.
The first thing on the program was
a report on the meeting of the Geor
gia Farm Bureau Federation, which
‘was held in Atlanta January 6th.
Chairman, W. L. Evans, who repre
sented the county at this meeting
made the report.
After hearing this report the boadr
ratified the constitution adopted at
the state meeting, and decided to
complete the organization of the
county according to the plans set
forth in the constitution.
This is one of the newest ideas now
facing the farmers and business men
of the county, and it is planned to
‘push the organization to completion,
with a large membership, in the fu
ture.
Mr. E. R. Strahan, District Agri
cultural Agent, took part in the dis
cussion of methods to be followed in
organizing Community Councils. He
also gave a very interesting and in
structive talk on methods of combat
ing the boll weevil. ‘
BE BUSINESSLIKE WITH YOUR
CORRESPONDENCE
I have learned that honesty,
promptness and punctuality in my
correspondence are good business.
System in business—whether it is
the farm business, manufacturing or
some other—is necessary to attain
success. The typewriter means bet
ter system in business correspond
ence. Neatness, legibility and time
saved are some of the factors in
favor of the typewriter. The type
writer is a necessary adjunct to Sys
tematic correspondence for the far
mer, as much so as for any other
business man. It is one of the most
beneficial inventions for the busy
farmer.—F. B. L., in The Progres
sive Farmer.

: VALUE OF A GOOD NAME IN
I« THE BUSINESS OF FARMING
Mr. French speaks a great truth
when he says that the Golden Rule
works in business transactions. The
farmer who has a reputation for
meeting every obligation promptly
and whose word is as good as his bond
possesses an asset that is worth more
'than gold.
’ One of the first lessons that every
young farmer should learn is that
‘square dealing in all business trans
actions is the only way to succeed.
True, the crooked man sometimes at
tains a measure of success, but this
success is only the exception that
proves the rule. If livestock, seeds
or plants are sold, it is the soundest
kind of business to see that in every
way they are fully as good as they
are described to be. If a note is fall
ing due shortly, it is sound businessl
to pay this note if possible in ad
vance of maturity. And every obli
gation, written, oral or implied,
should be met with absolute prompt
ness and without quibbling.
The man who has a reputation for
square dealing is far along the road
to success. Make your word as good
as your bond.—The Progressive Far-l
mer.

Best in the Long Run
If you own or operate a light car—
It will certainly pay you to equip it with Goodrich “375’5”.
This splendid tire measures 31x3.75—oversize for 30x3-1.2.
It costs less, understand, than you pay for the ordinary oversize for light cars,
and with its extra air-room, tough Black Safety Tread, side-wall specially pro
tected against rut-wear and unit-mold cure—
It delivers such splendid and unusual mileage—such 'all around better service,
that it constitutes just about the best tire value Goodrich has ever had the pleas
ure of offering the light car owner.
