HOW 1T WORKS.
paul MOhler.)

About the blindest thing in this
world is the selfish man. The grea.
apostle Paul once said that the God
CT this world hath blinded the eyes OF
the unbelieving. II you don't believe
these statements, just look around
you and see what selfishness is doing
to this community.
First of all, there is the man that
has thought out scheme by which ne
can steal little water from his neigh
Dor. He thinks he is getting ahead by
it, but he isn't. Here is how 1t works:
There are difficulties enough to over
come in breaking a new country in
to irrigation and bringing 1t up to
profit producing, to discourage the
average man. To these difficulties add
water stealing, and you have laid on
just about the last straw. There are a
lot of men that will not stay In a
country when they have reason to be-
lieye that their neighbors are thieves.
so they watch their chance to sell out
and move away. What Is the result?
In the first place the community has
lost a citizen and citizens are entire
ly too scarce. We need just four times
as many ranchers as we have, and
when one rancher of some experience
moves out, we have lost something
definite. Even though the purchaser is
moving in to take his place, he comes
in as new man inexperienced and un.
able to succeed right from the first.
II this district is to build up properly,
the new men moving in must improve
the raw land and bring it into cultiva-
ton. That Is what we need-to keep
the old settlers and add new ones.
But that Is not all the harm that Is
done. Every man that moves away
from here Disguised with conditions,
will warn other people to stay away.
Last spring, I had a man with monev
all lined up to come up here with a
view Of investing, but before he came,
man who was moving out met him
and gave this district such black eye
that SO far have not been able to
get him to even look at our valley.
Every man that steals water or
proves bad neighbor in any other
way is holding back the development,
OF this valley, is keeping good people
out, is holding down the price of lana
and Is encouraging other men to be
the same kind Of hindrences that he
himself is. In addition to all Of this
he is destroying his own self respect
and putting himself in line for all the
misery that, sooner or later rises up
to the evil doer.

THE FITZGERALD
EXPOSITION

From the comment on the streets
and elsewhere around town it sounds
like Fitzgerald is going to have next
week, the biggest proposition in the
way OF fair, both rom point of dis
plays and of number of people in at
tendance, this section mas ever seen.
The way things are rounding up at
present 1t is certain that the agricul-
tural displays will be of kind to set
permanently at rest any fears for the
prosperity CT the section for the next
year Quantity and quality in pro-
duction will be strongly in evidence.

Gay Speaks on Marketing.
Mr., Gay, the marketing expert,
held the attention of his hearers
for nearly an hour with a discus
sion of the need for and the methods
of getting an efficient marketing sys-
tenn for the producers of the South.
"The South is VIGOROUSLY weak
in organization for selling farm pro-
ducts to the advantage OF the produc-
err" declared Mr.. Gay, "and the Farm
Bureau Federation and the State Col
lege of Agriculture are both working
to remedy the weakness"
The State college will in the near
future. Mr. Gay continues, retain the
services of Ave market experts, each
specialists on one general line of
Southern farm products One, &C
cording to the plans, will be a live
stock expert, one a cotton expert,
one for tobacco, one for peanuts and
sweet potatoes and another for other
special products of Georgia. These
men will operate on the same plan as
the Others connected with the extern
sion department of the state college
and will assist marketing organiza-
tons throughout Georgia.
Cooperation Is First Needed
"The principal need of Georgia
farmers" declared Mr.. Gay, is to
stand together and cooperate" He
cited instances of failure of farmers
to cooperate and the resulting loss
to the many for the small gain to
one or two.
The creating of standards of quail
ty and of demand, for instance, for
potatoes raised in certain sections,
were stressed by Mr.. Gay as ends
toward which an efficient marketing
system aims. Such standards and
market demands have been built up
by potato growers on the Virginia
East coast. California truck grow
ers and fruit growers have built up
more strongly along the same lines
simply by cooperation
The value of a paid sales force OPP
Grating for the benefit of group of
farmers, well organized and cooper
ating, was recommended by the
| speaker. Had you not rather pay a
man ten per cent commission to get
$l.50 net per bushel for your pota-
toes than have some one sell them
free and net you $1OO?' he asked.
All these steps toward prosperity
for the farmer come through organi-
cations like the Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, which is organized for that spe-
cifc purpose. The enrolment of all
farmers in the bureaus in each com
| munity and the federation of the COM
munity bureaus with the county. that
with the state, and the state with the
national bureau, will make force for
agricultural prosperity that will keep
the producer in the saddle of the &C.
onomic bucking bronco.
