I Demand Grows
For FarmLatid
(B y T. LARRY GANTT)
I a m glad to tee a demand la
growing for farm land. At gentle
man yesterday told me he wait-
^change a nice .home In Ath-
ens f„, a farm aa he wlahed to
into stock raising. I note an !n-
trensed demand for larma. Farm-
the most lnpendent life a
can lead and one'of the
happiest. The appearance of the
boll weevil and the price of land,
md then the awump In produce
of nil kinds from inflated figures
following the armistice, discourage-
c il land-owners.
RAISING

of calcium arsenate, and that thero
