Our Essex made good time on roads praised as unsurpassed. After a pump failure near Vienna, Georgia, kind locals aided us. County Agent F. Mann helped mobilize experts, and the group visited farmers J. M. Lane, TH. A. Wood, G. L. Herring, A. Walters, TU. B. Summerford, and G. J. E. Sullivan to learn how diversification sustains farms under boll weevil pressure. Dooley County farmers practice debt management, pasture and crop shifts, and growing hogs, corn, and cotton for cash.
