Monday by Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the college of agri

in connection with that work.
Economical.
Demonstrations of the use of
airplanes in dusting cotton fields
were made in Athens early this
year, merely for the purpose of
showing that it not only is prac
tical, blit economical. Subequent
ly further investigation has been
made by various state and fed
eral agencies to determine the
exact effect of the use of the
poison when dusted or sprayed
through the air, and these have
all come out satisfactory.
In order to bring the economi
cal feature of the process to the
attention of Georgia farmers, Dr.
Soule is arranging now for a

of the land is also treasurer of
the Red Cross, he added.
Dr. Green said that he was of
ten asked: “If the Red Cross is
a part of the government, why
doesn’t the government support
it?” In answer to this question

with a standardized group,
the work of the Red Cross
adapted to the individual
of each case.
