The official call for the Cane and

April 12 1902, is as follows;
The Sugarcane and Cassava conven
ton to be held in Brunswick on the
l2tn dag of April 1902, should arouse
the deepest interest and command the
most earnest support OF the people
of south Georgia
The movement for the planting OF
wider acreas in sugarcane, the more
intelligent making and marketing OF
syrup, the introduction Of cassava as
a food for stock. and for starch man
ufacture, is intensely practical dis
seminates information which may be
coined into dollars, by every practi
cal farmer in south Georgia.
The movement was intmated by
