J. N. Harper, chairman of the soil improvement committee of the Southern Fertilizer Associa tion, presiaed at the morning ses sion of the Farmers’ conference Wednesday and interesting speech es were made by Dr. John E. Fain, who talked on “Standards of Hay,” and Prof. E. C. Westbrook ~ who delivered an interesting speech on “Farming Plans for North Georgia.” Prof. Tabor, who was to speak on “Permanent Pastures,” was called away from the conference on account of a death in his family and this sub ject was omitted. * Mr. Westbrook gave an outline of crops for North Georgia that was of especial interest to farm ers in this section. For the past •' several months this expert has made a detailed study of “extra money" crops grown in the state end his remarks carried . with them deductions made from ac tual observations and statistics.'

Mr. Westbrook stated that some of the farmers experienced diffi- culyt in marketing their extra crops and thereby lost money while others. realized as much is $400 per acre profit on the extra crops. Green beans proved a money maker, especially those grown for the late consumer.' Peanuts, according to Mr. West brook, led all the other-crops as a money maker. Irish potatoes, pimento peppers and English peas were also grown at a profit, but tobacco in this section was a dis appointment last year, he stated.

LARRY GANTT Among the prominent visitors to our city Tuesday in attendance on the Farmers’ Conference, wss Hon. J. J. Brown, State Commis sioner of Agriculture. Mr. Brown is from Goshen district in Libert county, and I knew him as a boy. In slavery days, Goshen was con sidered one of the poorest parts of Elbert county, being thin grey land, but lying beautifully, almost as level as a pairie. The large and wealthy slave-owners settled in that red-clay and broken section lying south of Elberton and the peninsula formally the confluence of Broad and Savannah rivers. But after the surrender and the Intro duction of commercial fertilizers, the upper districts like Goshen, Gaines and a part of Webbsboro began to forge to the front and on record breaking crops kinds were grown. Their land commanded the highest price Pf n er and the Herald. I trucks. this country are (Turn to Page Three) Farmers* Alliance and afterwards populists. Yon had well at tempt to turn over Stone Mountain with a. wooden toothpick as to change a Goshenite when he has his mind made up and set. But finer and better people never lived and they have been my loyal .friends since my boyhood dkys. This is the stock from which J. J. Brc wn sprang, an.l he inherits, that backbone and figlitihg spirit. DELRGHTED TO MEpT MR. BROWN Black have worked hard for this game and also for thh Auburn fracas which will be played Satur day night. Just what kind of a basketball team the Bulldogs really have will be seen tonight as the Terriers are .out for blood.

Alfalfa, broom com, the latter not very highly recommend ed as a money corp, tomatoes, green beans all give fair returns and late green beans of last year were very successful, he stated.

Hardeman, of Commerce, will preside at this session. This will be the governor’s first public appearance in Athens since his election and he Is expected to have a crowded house to hear him.
