An Example in Farm Marketing

An interesting example of efficient methods in
marketing food crops is found in the experience of
an Appling county planter, Mr.. T. W. Taylor, who
abandoning the all-cotton SYSTEM devoted liberal
acreage to potatoes. The yield was bountiful
and of excellent quality, but there ready
prospect of selling it. In this problem the grower
appealed to the market bureau of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railway for assistance.
Acting on the advice thus obtained, he made up a
carload of potatoes and shipped them to Atlanta.
Two days later he was handed check for three
hundred and eighteen dollars the net proceeds
of the sale.
In this instance the railroads market bureau
served as an effectual medium between the country
producer and the city buyer; it supplied the essen
tial link in the system of diversified farming which
agricultural and business leaders alike striv-
ing so earnestly to develop Without some such
service the production of foodstus in Georgia can
not reach due proportions If farmers are to raise
grain and vegetables and livestock a large scale
they must be assured of dependable market The
Appling county car of potatoes disposed of
easily, quickly and at good price. simply because
some one took the pains to connect the man who
The establishment of such connections is now
the all-important thing. There is lack of
demand for Georgia food staples; indeed, the de-
mand is Immensely greater than the supply, as is
evidenced by the fact that the people of this State
spending annually millions upon millions of
dollars for food imports If the Georgia farmer
knew Just where to sell and the Gergia merchant
just where to buy, every bushel and every pound
of home-raised foodsuns could be disposed of with
out difficulty and at good prices.
What the railroads market bureau did in this
instance, similar agencies can do for the rank and
file of the States food growers. The principle to
be followed is plain; the methods to be employed
are simple. And the results sure to follow gen.
eral application of this principle will be of i'm
measurable value to the Commonwealth.

approximately two-thirds of total railway mileage

IT is one thing to make living. 1t is quite an
other to living. This is something often
overlooked
The difference consists chiefly in a mans atti-
tude toward his job
The man who really earns his living is the man
who throws himself heartily and conscentiously
into whatever work he undertakes.
He does not regard his work merely means
of bringing him in so many dollars every week. He
does not look upon it as something degrading or
unutterably wearisome.
He does not forever keep his eye on the clock
and his ear alert for the whistle of dismissal
He is not perpetually wasting energy in schem-
ing to get through the days task with little eff
fort possible.
His work is something in which he takes
honest pride. He is thankful that he has work to
do and that he is not like other who either do
not want, cannot get work.
And to him it is a matter, not simply of duty,
but of joy, to do his work as we'll as he can.
He thinks in terms of power and skill, rather
than in terms of money. The pay he receives Is
naturally of consequence to him. Butt is of less
consequence than the pleasure he takes in accom-
plishment.
Let a man do his work in this spirit and he
truly may be said to be earning his living. Incl
dentay, he is sure to make better living than he
otherwise would
Given decent hygienic working conditions-and
