expert and prosperous farmers until they
run me out" DIR. Soule spoke very
highly and gratefully of the warm re-
ception given the farm train. and also
OF the splendid advantages offered by the
local college of agriculture.
The program was very delightfully."- In
terrupted Just at this point by an Inn
promptu speech by Col. s. G.. Dunlap,
commissioner Of the Bureau Of Industry
and Immigration. He said that the rail-
roads couldn't possibly assume any but
a favorable attitude toward the cham
Der OF commerce and all enterprises and
organizations that work for the devel-
opment and Improvement of the coun-
try.
Just here the sergeant at arms re-
turned bringing with him the modest
Mr. Parker, who made very interesting
little talk on I'VE Are Farming Some
in Tiff County" He said, among other
things that, though he is not farmer
now, he wants to be, and wants to be
an ideal one. He praised the farm train
and the local college very highly and
sincerely, and said that what he had
learned from them during the day would
be OF great value and assistance to him

Hon. John w. Greer, on 1.-THE Cham
Der of Commercials valu to the CITY,
said that the Triton Chamber Of Com
merce has the hearty Endorsement and
cooperation OF every business man OF
the town. He went on to state that in
the past year $50 farm houses have been
built in Tiff county. and that with the
cooperation Of the farmers who own
these houses, we hope, within the next
u months to bring 5000 new people to
of new Industries that have been secured
for Triton through the efforts of the
Triton Chamber of Commerce.
In speaking OF the enterprise of this
body. he said that they had been making
every effort to secure the extension of
the national highway from Atlanta to
Jacksonville by way OF Triton. He
thinks. from the present prospect. that
they win be successful. and IL they are.
they VIII feel that they have been fully
compensated Car all their arduous work.
He believes that this extension of the
national highway. making it complete
from New York to Jacksonville, and rum
ming through Tiftoh, would mean more to
Triton than another railroad.
The last speaker on the program was
Prof ]. W. Hart, an expert on dairying,

sion department Of the Agricultural coll
lege His talk on "DaiEying'' was ex-
tremely interesting and instructive and

methods OF farming now from those OF 30
