Broyn. president of the Georgia farmers' union, has issued a statement urging the farm ers to plant feed crops instead of cotton: He says: "Your highlands, lowlands and bottom lands are too wet to prepare for cotton. I would advise that time and thought be given to preparation for more corn, more peas, more velvet beans, more sorghum cane, more sweet potatoes and more ground peas. Give more attention to your hogs, cowr, and if possible avoid what scorns to be almost a panic. We are now about six weeks behind with farm work If the cotton is not p’anted by the middle of this month and tnere should be an early winter, it would mean disaster. Hence it is absolutely necessary to raise feed, both for man and beast.' 1 Eagle ■Tailoring Company “The Union. Tailors” 18-20 South Pryor St. Opp. Temple Court Bldg.
