TO IMPROVE FARM METHODS.

The Department Of Agriculture at
Washington has taken up the work of
cotton and corn demonstration in Geor-
gia with a view to improving farm
methods and the selection of seed. Mr..
G. W. Davis, Georgia expert, has
been placed in charge of the work, and
Will give special supervision to Cobb
county for the next year.
Mr.. Davis will reside in Marietta, and
from here will direct the work in the
county and elsewhere.
The plan of the work as outlined by
Mr.. Davis to Journal reporter is SIM
pie and easily followed by anyone. 1t
IS his purpose to secure pledges from
some fifty or sixty farmers in different
sections of the county who will agree
TO plant from one to five acres of corn
and cotton each and cultivate it on the
intensive plan.
The expert will visit each of these
co-operators at least once per month,
and show, by actual practice, how to
carry on farming. Seed selection is to
be one of the main things taught, and
the expert will go into the field and
point out the proper kinds OF stalks
from which to select seed. By this
process, corr and cotton will be i'm
proved.
Mr.. Davis said, I'VE will carry the
university to the farmer; the black
board will be the field, and the answers
will be the dollars and cents in the
pockets of the farmers"
The instruction is free, as the Federal
Government pays the experts a salary,
and the farmer does not have to pay a
single cent The work is intended to
Sesch and benefit the small farmer.
Every farmer in Cobb county ought
to take advantage of the free teaching
Tor the next year, and help in the work
already begun. 1t is the school brought
out to the farmers home, without
money and without price to him.
Mr.. Davis is ready to explain in de-
tail the workings of the plan, and to
discuss with every farmer in the county
she methods nov used, His work is
done with the individual and not in
mass meetings, as such work has been
done heretofore. He goes out to an in
dividual's field and studies the condi.
tioBs of that particular field, and makes
suggestions suitable for that field.
The work is under the direction of
DR.. 5 A. Knapp. of Lake Charles, La.
who is chief of the Farmers Co.opera-
tive Cotton and Corn Demonstration
Work, which is division of the Plant
Industry of the Department..

ANNUAL MEETING
OF the Weman's Home Mission Society
of the Marietta District.

The Marietta District meeting of the
Woman's Home Mission Society was
held at Woodstock, October 22d and
23d, in the beautiful little Methodist
church, which had been recently re-
modelled and set in order for this occa-
sion
From the time the delegates alighted
from the train, they were made to feel
the warm welcome that these hospita-
BILE people extended to them. Every
man, woman, girl and boy in the town
would give US pleasant smile OF recog-
milton as we passed to and from the
church
The first business session was opened
with devotional exercise conducted
by Miss LouellS Jones, a sister of the
late Rev. Sam Jones, than whom the
Home Mission Society never had bet
ter friend. A most cordial greeting was
extended to those in attendance by Miss
FloriDe Dial, who is faithful mission
airy worker. The beautiful singing, led
by our venerable friend, Mr.. Latimer,
was indeed an inspiration, and would
be credit to any choir in the State.
Our own Mrs. R. T. Connally never
spoke to more appreciative audience.
Men, women and children drank in in
formation along the lines of Home Mis-
sion work as it fell from her fluent lips.
In many ways did she show to us that
the spirit of Christ could be exempli-
fled in our lives by engaging in this
work Mrs. Connally especially empha-
sized the work OF the Yashti Home.
She said that she was not going to take
up collection, but that if any one felt
impressed to give to this worthy insti-
tuition, if they would hold up their
hand, she would go out into the congre-
CATION for it. The result was marvel
Gus, for instantly nearly every hand in
that audience went up, and the contri-
button was many, many times what any
one would have counted on.
Mrs. b. T. Frey, as District Secretary,
asked that delegates and members pray
for more earnestness in this work for
the Master. There have been two aux.
iliaries organized during the year, with
10 new members, but there is much
need for earnest workers in the district,
Mr., Joe Gaines, president of the..New
Hope Young Peoples Auxiliary. made
good talk on the possibilities of the
work of Young Peoples Society. Mr..
Gaines seems very much in earnest
about this work, and bright future is
predicted for him.
Miss Eunice Segars, who has offered
herself for Home Mission work, was
with US, and added to the interest of
the occasion. She was appointed agent
for Our Homes, and secured five new
subscriptions.
Mrs. W. r. r. Turner, who is always
live wire" in any good work, woke
the people up on the subject of eth
ing" Several people were converted
to "tithing" from her discussion of the
subject.
Mr. J. M. Latham, who is a staunch
friend of the Home Mission Society,
honored the delegates and visitors with
tallyho ride. As we viewed the beau
tiful mountainous scenery of Cherokee
county, our hearts were made glad that
it was our privilege to be in this hos
pitable little town for these two days
