In order to carry out this pro

He said, in reference to cleanli

In speaking of grading'he said
large size eggs should average 24

After listening to the stories of
different ones connected with and
interested in the Y. M. C. A. every
worker left the building de
termined to raise his or her quota
of the necessary amount and to do
it as quickly as possible, feeling
that this is a work that cannot be
allowed to drag in the city. They
heard about the camp near Tal

ing done by Mr. Weems, by Mr.
Jones, by Mr. Quillian and by Mr.
Forbes, the general secretary.
Tuesday the canvass began and
the public-spirited people of Ath

call. The work is too well known
to need amplifying at this late
date. It must gp on and its success
depends upon the people of Ath

State Commissioner of Agri
culture, in an address deliver
ed before an audience of more
than 800 farmers and busi-
nss men at the noon session
of State Agricultural Confer
ence here today.
“Partisan politics, so far as
they concern the farmer, are
dead,” continued the speaker.
“The great business interests,
not-.only of Georgia but of the
nation, are aroused as never
before, and partisan cliques
and affiliations, I believe,
have made up their minds
that every institution which
receives money from the
hands of the public must get
’ together in a spirit of full co
operation for the benefit of
the farmer and laboring man.”
Two prominent state house offi
cials. Hon. J. J. Brown, commis
sioner of agriculture, and Hon.,
N. L. Ballard, state school com- ,
missioner-elect, addressed the 12

Conference Tuesday.
Chancellor Barrow of the Uni

ing.
Mr. Brown, whose home is in
the neighboring county of Elbert,
sounded a note of co-operation of
his department with-that bf the
college along with outlining some
of the problems facing the Geor
gia farmers today and what the
department of agriculture is doing
to help solve these problems.
He said that the impression
that somehow had gotten abroad
that there was friction between
his department and the College of
Agriculture and stated that this
was erroneous, that he stood for
the utmost co-operation between^
the two great agricultural agen
cies of the state. His address
was received with enthusiasm and
brought forth repeated applause.
