FARMERS DUE CREDIT
FOR WEEVIL CONGRESS

George s. Farr. secretary of the Full
ton County Union of the Farmers Ed
vocational and Cooperative Union OF
Georgia, has written a card. In which
he maintains that the farmers are due
credit for having called the recent boil
weevil congress He asks that it be
published I'm The Journal. 1t follows:
Have you noticed what the boil weevil
is doing lately2 You say he is snugly
asleep in winter quarters, awaiting the
coming of spring, when that famous
cotton plant will put forth again. No,
this is not all. He, she, or 1t. that lit
tie, insignificant beetle has actually stir
red up great big men. broad minded men,
Intelligent men; men of means; men Of
high business standing, to such state
of frenzy that they are actually squall-
ing who was the first to call a confer
ence to sound his death knell. What DIFF
ference does It make to Mr.. Weevil who
called this conference? None. But, listen:
It seems reasonable that the one who Is
most dependent on crop would be the
one who would first be on his guard
to protect that crop, and just so 1t has
been.
How, you ask? For several years the
Farmers Union of Georgia have been
instructing the farmers along this line
with information and instructions fur
nished by the department Of agriculture,
and the credit is due to DR.. o. A. Knapp
and his corps of field demonstrators, to
the Hon. T. G.. Hudson, commissioners
of agriculture, who is always willing
to do all in his power to assist the
farmer.
Many conferences and discussions have
been held in Georgia in which great
strides have been made to fortify the
farmer against his ravages. Reports
from every corner of Georgia verify this
by the increase per acre of different
crops due to the methods of better farm
ing as taught and demonstrated by Dr.
Knapp's field demonstrators.
This seems like the time that the ac-
tual farmer mot the agriculturalist) has
stolen a march on his city friend, who
has lust awakened to the fact that
something must be done to stop the
weevil's work. So he calls a confer
ence. and now finds that some one is
ahead of him and he cannot claim the
credit of being the first to start the
ball rolling. or course, 1t is hard for
the sharp business man to acknowledge
that the farmer has headed him off.
No, Mr. Chamber of Commerce, not
this time. You have done good work, and
will do much more, but please oh!
please. let the credit of this conference
rest where it belongs-with the farmer.
1t is their business.
