ROY ROGERS CANNOT LEAVE
HIS WORK IN AFPLING
COUNTY.
ANOTHER TO Be OBTAINED
Although the Board of Trade Was Dis
appointed in This Instance, They
Are Seeking Another Expert-Plans
Will Be Carried Out

Roy Rogers. the farming expert
frcm Appling county, whom the board
of trade has been making efforts to
engage for work in Glynn county, and
who was expected to meet with the
JOINT committee from the board of
trade and county commissioners yes
by long distance telephone informed
the committee that he would not be
abe to make any agreement with the
Glynn county commissioners for the
coming year
Mr. Rogers explained 10 the commit
tee that he felt under obligations to
remain and continue the work which
he has been carrying en- in Appling
county for some time 1t seems that
khen ii became known in that county
that it possible that he would leave
the county such pressure was brought
to bear upon him to remain that he
was unwilling to leave against the
wishes Of nearly every farmer in tho
county.
This does not mean, however" eX-
planned Secretary Weatherly yester-
Qa" afternoon, that the plan of secur-
ny farming expert fer Glynn coun.
'yEhas been abandoned. The commit
.nittee is still working on it, and 1t
is enNrely yossble thak-kAer ex.

a. The fact that me people OF AppfhSg
county are so unwilling to give VI
his services, after he has been work
Ing in that county for some time is
pointed out as an indication that the
people of that county appreciate his
value to the farmers OF that county,
and Is a forecast of the services an
expert will be able to render in Glynn.
Under his direction Appling county
corn club boys have won many prizes
and sent total of "a exhibits to the
recent Atlanta corn show.
The following letter, received by
Secretary Weatherly, OF the beard OF
trade, Is interesting in this connec-
ton:
.lr. W., G. Weatherly, Secretary,
Brunswick Board of Trade, Bruns-
wick, Ca
Dear Sir: ] notice in the Bruins
wick papers articles on the subject Of
farm cooperation in which 1t appears
hat the county commissioners will
De asked to appropriate money for
the services CT farm expert.
] heard story today while inspect
Ing the Boys Corn club exhibits, now
on exhibition in the state capitol
which will demonstrate the great val
ue of having farmers cooperative
demonstration agent in every county
IN the state. Mr. j. Phil Campbell,
state agent of the farmers co-opera-
tive demonstration work In Georgia
cited a county known for it's. progress
and considered one OF the finest coun-
ties in the state for its agEs Maral
achievements, and he was encomM ed
last year when an effort was madASo
organize the corn club. meeting
was held and great deal OF Interest,"
was taken by every one, and indica-
tions were there would be a large rep
resentation by the Boys Corn club
at the Atlanta corn show this week,
but there was no county demonstfa-
tion agent In this county and only
four exhibits were sent to Atlanta. In
another county, not so far advanced
igriculturally, the farmers secured the
services of an expert, who co-operated
with the Boys Corn club ana the re-
suit was that this county sent "a ex-
nibits to the corn show In Atlanta.
II is only fair that ] mention that
his latter county was APpling men
iion this to demonstrate the value in
Il small way of the demonstration
agents, who can give expert ADVICE
and remain constantly in touch with
whole story but these expert demon
stratCrs can assist wonderfully If they
can be given an opportunity No bet
ter investment can be made for Glynn
county than one of these demonstrate
crs, and | hope that the machinery
may be set in motion to secure one
for permanent service in that county.
Yours very truly,
