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.
