BALDWIN COUNTY
On Inspection Tour of South Georgia
Looking Into live Stock Industry and
BaO Weevil Getters. 1
A party In automobiles reached the city
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock after a
hard drive from Macon. The party con
sisted of thirty-five of the farmers and
business men from Baldwin county, and
they were here to look over Tifton and
her industries and see what we were
doing to combat the boll weevil. The
party was taken in hand by Secretary A1
gee of the Board of Trade assisted by
Messrs. Rooney and Mcllwaine, and tak
en around to see the sights of the city
and surroundings.
The trips to Armour & Co’s., packing
plant and to the Tift Farms were eye
openers to the visitors and they were
much impressed with all they saw.
The Rarty went from here to Fitzger
ald, Douglas, Eastman and other points
in that section.
These parties are coming in every
week now, and the approach of the weevil
has the business men and farmers further
north very much worried. The advice
they receive here Is “Raise hogs and cab
tie and you will not feel the destruction
of your cotton.”
