But in counties that have agents the agents could know just what farmers have pota- toes and the quantity that each had for sale. It would be an easy matter for the agent to get these farmers to- gether and arrange for combining in shipping their produce. MT. Nichol- son was thus able to deal directly with the county agent and to re- commend a market where the po- tatoes could be sold at good price.
 There are many other activities Of the agents which nearly everyone is familiar with, such as distributing information from the various agri- cultural agencies, visiting the farmer and helping him to solve his prob lens. showing him how to vaccinate his hogs, helping him to terrac4 his land advising him as to what crops are likely to prove most profitable to him. and organizing community clubs.

New Directories Issued.

The new directory of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company has
been delivered to the subscribers in
Edgefeld and Johnston by manager
J. J. Roach. The new directory is
attractive in appearance and con-
tains all the changes and corrections
in listing that has been made since
the last directory was printed.
The number of new names APP
pearing in list would indicate that
there are constant additions to the
number of subscribers in Edeefeld
and Johnston and vicinity and the
telephone development is contln-
uous.
The Southern Bell Company has
evolved a plan whereby it furnishes
telephone service to farmers and
other rural residents on an economi-
cal basis. As a result the telephone
is now the rule rather than the ex-
ception, on the farm, and farmers in
all sections of the State are install
ing telephones in their homes. The
plant of the Southern Bell Company
in Edgefeld and Johnston is main
tained al a high state of efficiency
and the subscribers are well salts,
fed with the service that Manager
J. J. Roach is rendering.
