Indirectly to the cause.
With no desire to minimize any
contribution but to stay within reas-
enable limits of space and first render
an account of a stewardship, it will
not be amiss, it is hoped, to here show
II what direction public funds placed
at the disposal of the College of Agri-
culture have been expended toward in
creasing the agricultural productive
ness of the state.
In 1906 the state of Georgia decided
to establish a modern agricultural col
Iege, and appropriated funds for a cen
trail building and a WORKOUT farm.
Then began the work of construction
and reconstruction. Three things
were undertaken, % Collegiate in
struction to develop leadership; (2),
Research work that new and definite
data about Georgia agriculture might
be obtained; (3), Extension teaching
bv which useful Information might be
placed in the hands of farmers.
In developing leadership, approx
mately 5000 students have been en-
rolled in all courses in nine years. In
acquiring and codifying agricultural
knowledge for Georgia conditions, the
college uses it's courses of instruction,
bulletins and an array of facts with
definite application in the hands of ex-
tension workers. Every worker in the
college is looked to for practical con-
.tributions. Laboratories are equippr
with this end in view. Lessons of the
college farm are utilized. Soil sur
veys are being made throughout the
state. Demonstrations are conducted
On plats of various soil types. Test
farms in different parts of Georgia are
determining the best varieties of cot
tor and cereals in general to use in
various sections of the state. Every
reliable piece of information is being
verified and college workers are con
stantly putting the facts in the hands
of the farmers.
Reaching the Man in the Field.
Extension teaching has demonstrat-
ed its value and efficiency and today is
ore of the mightiest constructive agen-
ces over brought to bear on agricul-
ture. During the last eight years, 5,179
farmers meetings., farm schools and
miscellaneous meetings nave been
held in Georgia by the College of Agri-
culture. These meetings have reached
l,282,0SS persons, or about half of the
population of the state. More than
l25 agricultural bulletins and circu-
lars written in plain English have been
distributed. A rural press plate ser
vice appearing in $50 papers reaches
weekly a very large percentage of the
farmers of the state. The personal
touch of county agents, club organiz-
ers and travelling experts affords, OF

Let US remember what Henry Gra-
DIV said in 1888 of THE Souths' New
Way:
When every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields,
and meat from his own pastures. dis d.
tcrbed by no creditor, enslaved in no
debt, shall sit amid his teeming gar
dens and orchards and vineyards, and
diaries and barnyards, pitching his
trors in his own wisdom and growing
them in independence, making cotton
Lis clean surplus, and selling it in his
Own time, and in his chosen market,
ard not at masters bidding-gettine
his pay in cash and not in a receipted
mortgage that discharges his debt, but
does not restore his freedom-then
shall be the breaking of the fullness
OF our day
This prophecy would not be in pro
cess of fulfillment without, of course
some active directing agencies at
work in cordial cooperation with farm

trade organizations, public officials and

among the farmers there is an appro-
priation of $4,000 state extension
funds and 100000 federal and state
Smith-Lever funds.
In view wof the record recounted, is
i not wonderful that so much has
been accomplished by these workers
with the funds at their command?
Federal Cooperation.
The L. S. Department off Agriculture
with all of its bureaus now do all their
extension work in Georgia through and
in cooperation with the College of Ag-
riculture, so that there is no duplica-
ton, overlapping nor conflict between
these two extension agencies.
