: COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
| Compulsory education was advocated
] by National President G. S. Barrett this
morning at the convention of the Georgia
/ division of the Farmers union. Over
eight hundred farmers were present. The
resolution committee will probably pass
| favorably upon a resolution that will ask
the state to relieve the farmers of taxes
upon crops for the first year after they
have been harvested.
