the meeting of the state Agricultural
Society.
On being asked as to the meeting and
the outlook among the farmers of Georgia,
he said: The belief Of the majority
of farmers j. that there is a necessity for a
more diversified agriculture. This was
urged by leading delegates to the conyen-
ton. and in showing the necessity an able
address was delivered by the Hon. Mark
A. Cooper. venerable agriculturist, over
81 years Of age. His subject was The
Hop and China Tree" The cultivation
of the latter he advocated for hoop poles,
fence posts and cross ties. According to
his experience it Outlasted the chlnque-
pin. cedar or chestnut in the soil. He
attributed its durability to its yer-
mifuge qualities. Wool growing, to-
baccO raising and general stock raising
were also advocated as profitable indus
tries. and among the fruits the grape was
given considerable attention. The gen
eraI belief of the convention was that it is
necessary TO break up the one idea farm
