catch up a hog, or whatever small
some sweet potatoes in sacks, or
item of farm produce he may have,
and at once concert it into cash at
the home market. This, as Mr.. Jones
points out, Immediately reaches the
smallest farmer in the state, and yet
is not so small that it doesn't at the
same time take care Of the largest
farmer on anything he has for mar
keting, in no matter what quantity.
It's primary object, however, will be
to open a way to the little fellow,
who has raised or raises too little
to market for himself in bulk ship
ments, the market place he must
have. That it will relieve that small
man of entering into a community
collection in order to make up
enough produce Of any kind to con-
stitute a shipment suitable for a
large or open market and thereafter
have to wait a number of days for
the money return to come from that
shipment after its arrival in what
ever market it is destined for.
ut is my purpose to give this sub
jest very close study and the depart
r:ent is going to lend its best eff
forts in cooperation with the people
of the state who are trying to build
up these markets. In fact, I'm not
going to wait until next summer to
go into the thing, but l expect to find
out just how far Mr.. Jones has gone
down there in Crisp county with his
particular work. and what assistance
can be given him right away. 1 be-

MARKET PLAN
Of N AY Oh
JONES IS.
APPROVED
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
ELECT iNTlMATES THAT j. COR
DON JONES' PROPOSITION WILL
RE CONSIDERED SOON AFTER
He TAKES OFFICE.

Atlanta, Get. 31.-One of the first
things which the state agricultural de-
partment will turn it's attention, when
the new administration takes charge
next June, will be the realization of
the best of the several suggestions
made for the creation of home market
organizations in the state, according
to a statement made today by j. ].
Brown, who will be elected to the of
fee in November.
That the plan being worked on as
community proposition now by j. Cor
don Jones and others, of Crisp county,
will most likely get first attention and
earnest support of the department, is
indicated in Mr.. Browns talk "The
general plan outlined by Mr.. Jones
and the other gentlemen of Cordele,
who are working with him." says Mr..
Brown, seems to be based on discus
sion of home marketing which has
held so much attention in the past
year or two; but the details of the
Jones plan are what makes so much
for the gigantic prospect in it. That
idea of an immediate source of cash
for small amounts of farm products, no
matter what they may be. That l be-
lieve, is about the most magnificent
idea yet presented in the study of a
condition which the whole southern
farming country. and particularly the
state of Georgia, is now called
upon to put into practical operation.
We have all theorized on it, and an
hlyzed it until I believe all of both
the rural and the city and town peo-
pies have accepted the need of home
markets as the essential work Of our
people.

Long-Discussed Problem.

"The farmers have always asked
only for a fair return on the product
of their lands and their labors, and,
to get that return, a reasonable place
and method for marketing them, and
it has been that marketing problem
which has been most on my mind for
a long INDEPENDENTLY as president
of the state organization Of farmers
"The suggestion, which has become
general, that method for marketing
farm products by establishing cen
trail point in the state where bulk
shipments could be made up, and by
making that sort of general agency
to find and dispose of in the world
making that sort of general agency
price is good as far as it goes, but
it is true, as Mr.. Jones claims, that
there yet remains, under that pros
pective system, the question OF i'm
mediate availability, of spot cash for
the little fellow who has only mite
of stuff on which he wants to realize
at once. And it is that particular de-
tail in Mr.. Jones' plan which seems
to be a sort of blaze of sunlight to
work to-
The feature of the Jones plan to
which Mr.. Brown refers is that OF

chants. business men and any others
interested in the welfare and devel-
opment of the immediate commun'

ket organization. Eventually such an
organization will become quite self
sustaining by disposing of itself of
such produce as it buys in, but, OF
necessity, it must have an available
cash supply on which to begin doing
cash business with the small farm
er. For that purpose only, the home
interests make up, by small sums,
the original capital on which the
home market association will begin
operations.

The purpose then would be that OF

EDUCATION AND FARMING
Gel Paso. Tex, Times.


There used TO be a notion that any
one could run a farm. All YOU had
tC do was TO pillow. plant. and reap
and leave the rest to nature. The
bright boys raised on farms gravitat-
ed 10 the cities and the ne er-do-
wells stayed at home. All this has
been changing of late and indica-
tions are that this generation viii
see complete revolution in farm
ing. For many years agricultural
colleges were laughed at by hayseed
farmers who though what their
grandfathers did was good enough
for them. This is no longer the case.
Recently statistics covering a great
number of farms in practically all
the states were collected and CLASH
fed. 1t was revealed that the farmer
who had been through the high
school made twice as much off his
farm as the one who had a mere
common school education; but the
man WHO had been 10 an agricul-
tural college made three time as
much.
This is a test which ought 10 sat
isfy the most conservative. IL is more
and more becoming understood that
one farms with brain. and the soil
