Analysis of a Given FERTILIZER

REPORT OF THE WORK OF FARMERS
INSTITUTES IN GEORGIA IN 1908

The board of trustees of the university
organized a farmers institute system on
January IT, 1908. When the board OF
trustees of the Agricultural college was
created the management of the farmers
ins :titutes: was transferred to them. For
several years the Institutes were under
the charge of Hon. Harvie Jordan, who,
however. found the work so onerous and
exacting that he decided to withdraw
from It on November l, 1907. when the
work was turned over TO the direction
Of Andrew NJ. SOule.
Twenty-four Institutes were held dur
ing the past year under the specific d.
rection of the college Institutes were
ofiered to six senatorial districts where
for various reeSUns satisfactory arrange
ments could not be made for a meeting.
From one to three speakers were sent TO
sixteen other points where either far
mers' institutes or educational rallies
were held 1t should not be forgotten
that the educational train, feature OF
the extension department of the college
and really constituting one of the most
important and effective means OF con-
ducting farmers Institutes visited one
hundred and fifty towns in all parts of the
state. Since the expenses of operating
the educational train was betrayed out
of a special appropriation, the college
has been enabled to hold or TO cooper
ate in holding some forty special meet
ings i'm the interest of farming enter
prises and agricultural education. Ii is
doubtful if the state has ever been more
efficiently covered. or as many people
reached and benefited as during the past
year Fully 900 people came out TO
hear the lectures and discussions and
TO see the exhibits carried on the train.
and about 10000 persons attended the
regular meetings. That this trip was OF
incalculable value to the people OF the
state is borne out by the correspondence
which has come and still comes TO the
college as a result of this movement. A
list of places visited last year follows;
Rabun Gap. COrneia. Cordele. Green's
boro Waycross. Washington, Boston,
Americas. Adairsville, Rome, Talbot
ton, Perry. Arlington, Lawrenceville.
Lexington, Pelham, Newman McRae.
Hazlehurst, Lyons, GAINESVILLE, Dublin,
Statesboro. Guyton, Calhoun, Gainesville,
Commerce. Carrollton. Atlanta. Decatur.
Social Circle, Augusta, MiiledEeville.
Cuthbert, Dawson, Fort Gaines, Sylves'
ter Tifton and Brunswick.
II will thus be seen that the state has
been practically covered during the
year. and all senatorial districts would
have been reached but for the fact that
there is not a good organization in a
number of districts. and 1t will take lit
tie time to work one up. IL is pleas
