ed BY Atlanta Official.

One Of the most important announce
ments we've had the good luck to make
to the farmers Of this county in good
many years is just this: the Jobson
System OF common sense farming is
coming TO this county-and coming to
stay. What this means in the way
Of crop Increase next year VIII be
perfectly plain even before the next
crop is gathered, for good healthy corn
and oats and grass Cont wait till the
harvest to let you know when it's been
treated right.
Too much can't be said for this sys-
tenn and John B. Jobscn's remarka Bile
plow which has already done so much
for other sections OF the South. To
sum it up briefly, this plow cheapels
the process of deep tillipg and places
the benefits of the most improved
methods within the reach Of the "one
boss" farmer as we'll as the big
planter.
Realizing this, number of the best
and most progressive merchants in our
county have gone into the work Of
securing these plows and giving out
information about the Jobson methods.
These gentlemen are well known and
their interest in bringing this benefit
to the communities they serve will be
appreciated by every man, woman and
child who realizes Just what this thing
is going to mean to US.
Referring to our local agencies, Maj.
Jno. w. Norwood, manager of the At
lanta office of the Jobson Plow Co.,
said, a few days ago:
"These men are a credit to this
section. They're the only kind Of
agents we appoint, because we must
have men with broad ideas of service
Officials and members Of Boards of
Trade in other sections are becoming
enthusiastic over the Jobson System
and are helping to spread it among
their people. and you have here just
as patriotic men and women as may
be found on the face of the earth.
Selling few plows is not the Dig
idea about our work." he continued
"The Big Idea is that of bringing the
gospel of deep blowing and simple
and better paying methods to the
great mass Of farmers who have ncl
been able to see its practicability and
have not had the means to purchase
expensive outfits We and these deal!
and we're going to do big thing right
here in the matter Of crop increase" ;"
Among other things, the Jcbson
agents mentioned below are giving out
free to all who call for them copies
of the little booklet entitled "The Com
mon Sense of Deep Flowing and Big
ger Profits on the Farm" This con-
tains full particulars of the famous
Jobson System and has more good.
hard common sense about blowing in
it than anything that's been publish
ed since the Civil war.
The State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. Hon. James d. Price, of Georgia.
said this about the book: wish
every former in Georgia would get
copy and read it." 1t has also Ecen
commended by as high authority as
Hon. F. J.. Merriam. editor Of the
least million Southern farmers.
These agencies also give out copies
of the new farm paper published By
the System. They can be had freely
for the asking, but none will be given
away to those who do not ask.
