Agriculture desires to be of the greatest possible service to all in terests of the States in the boll weevil crisis now faoing our people. In addition to the .boll weevil campaign for farmers to be con ducted In one hundred counties of the State, we have arranged for a similar campaign fbr business men and bankers. The purpose of this latter campaign is to acquaint the business men of adjustments nec essary undei; boll weevil conditions. This campaign will last fifteen days rind reach as rriany points as possible. A copy of itinerary is ' herewith enclosed. For these meetings we have secured the ser vices of Mr. J. M. Taylor’ Vice President and Manager of the t Mississippi Southern Bank of Port Gibson, Miss., who'in a business sense has been the life of his sec tion of the state. He has agreed to come to Georgia for these few days to give the business interests the . advantages of his ripe and successful experience.

Grady county should during 1917 make a special effort to free itself form the Fed eral quarintine under which it now is with its cattle on account of the cattle tick, by putting bn such a complete campaign of eradication as to be able to complete the work this year. There will be competent speak ers here on that occasion to give the advantages that always grow out of tick eradication, and no doubt there will be a lew prpsent. who are opposed to the eradication of the cattle tick beense they have not fully informed themselves of the rciil facts pertaining, to the matter. Every body is invited to come to this meeting as it is desir ed to get the real sentiment of the county so that it can be placed be fore the County Board just what the people want done in this mat ter. Those in position to know are very well agreed that if all the peo ple of the county will enter lienrti-, ly into the dipping work for this} year that it will be a reasonably easy matter to free the county from this pest.

Let The Call Come The Georgia State College of Agriculture will conduct at the sec ond district agricultural school, Tif ton, Ga., from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2nd inclusive, four days of agricultural lectures and demonstrations. They will be full of interest to the farmers of tho Second Congressional Dis trict of Georgia. The subjects in the main will be those of preparedness for the boll i weevil, diversified farming and live stock fanning. In addition a very interesting program will be conduct ed for women by Mrs. Bessie Stan- ey Wood,'Assistant State Supervi sor in Home Economics, This will consist of lectures and demonstra tions oil cooking, sewing, labor saving devices, and other subjects of home improvement. A great many interesting lectures will be ?iven by specialists from the Col- lego'of Agriculture,' Athens, Ga. on different subjects. These subjects ha ve been selected to meet the con ditions as they stand today with the-menace of the boll weevil at hand. The morning periods from ten o’clock until, noon will bo en tirely devoted, to. addresses and lec tures. The afternoon periods will be in 'the nature of demonstrations. There will be demonstrations for then tlnd boys in dairying, judging livestock, judging chickens, inspec tion of soils, and the treatment of sick farm animals. The women will have an opportunity to view and take part, in demonstrations in cooking, butter making, poultry production and the making of labor saving devices for the home, and in landscape gardening. Two car loads of cattle and educational ex hibits will be 911 display during the entire four days. The liver loses its activity at times, and needs.Jielp. IIERBINE is an effective liver stimulant.

It is always truo that any advance in the laws against- legalized liquor traffic has to fight its way step by step against just tho forces that are now represented by t(ie opposition to having the Gov ernor oall an extra session,. But the need for the improve ment in our prohibition laws is too plain and the opportunity too precious to allow to pass'. We believe that the cull will be made and that in the- shortest time pos sible that Georgia will have a law that will very effectually prevent; the great traffic now goiug on in this stuff that has not one thing good to be said 1 in its favor. Not alone in Geqrgia but all over this country and even through out the world 1 the sentiment in favor of temperance and prohibi tion is gathering force and momen tum, and what lias long been a dream of a few is really becoming a probability, when,there shall be no legalized traffic in any form of alcoholic drinks. The man in either private or public life who todays sets himself the 1, task of trying to stem this’ onward movc- ment will find himself borne down before, it. Let ! the legislature^>c called to gether to pass the very best law that can bo passed at this ■ time, and then when its imperfections show up let it be futher improved; There is no such thing ns letting well enough alone. There is al ways something better ahead. Give us a “Bone Dry Law” and then if it shows signs of getting damp, let it be reworked and made tight again. Facts About Georgia That is what it. is called and that is what it is in truth. Facts ac tively but simply told, It gives one a greater pride -than over in his state to read this splendid com pilation dealing with Georgiri from many angles and illustrated , with scones from the mountains to . the sea. Lor some time we have known the Georgia Chamber of Commerce *<• was to issue this book as one of the booster features of their work for the state and we had expected an attractive volumn, but sinoo seeing this book and dipping here a'nd there into its simply but well written pages we have to admit that it exceeds our expectations, The wide distribution of the work both within the state. and outside is bound to result in great good. It will do any Georgian good to be made to realize as this book will do the great possibilities of his -1 state, and we believe it will lip right hard for any one not familar with the state to read it and not feel pretty strong inclination make its acquaintance.
