EVANGELS OF GREATER
AND BETTER GEORGIA
That the county farm agent is the
hope of Georgia farmers in combatting
the belPweevil and saving agriculture
in the state from decay, is eloquently
voiced by President C. J. Haden of the
State Chamber of Commerce, who de
scribes the county agents as the
“Evangels of a Greater and Better
Georgia.” President Haden is very
anxious to save the tenant class of
farmers from the disasters of the boll
weevil. The county agents, by hold
ing group, or field meetings, of farm
ers in every community, has oppor
tunities that is possible for no one
else to have, for helping the tenant
farmers through the distress that con
fronts them. Such meetings are be
ing held and have been held for sev
eral years, and Georgia’s tenant class
of farmers has been prepared for the
boll weevil as probably the tenant
farmers of no other state, which has
been invaded by the weevil. Those
counties which do not have county
agents, of course, are not so w*U pre
pared.

dose of calomel today and tomor
