SPLENDID PROGRAMS.
Splendid programs for these several

Der OF the most prominent men in the
l state. and several persons OF national
Reputation have agreed to be present and
deliver addresses The widespread in
terest in an improved agricultural prac-
tice evidenced at this time makes 1t
imperative for every progressive farmer
to take advantage OF this occasion, and

ers OF the state.
The Georgia Dairy and Live Stock as
ISOLATION has been in existence for a
number Of years, and has done splen-
did work for the cause lit represents.

eradication OF cattle ticks. and through
its agency has done much toward hav-
ing a state veterinarian appointed. and

wards securing the enactment of other
Legislation which Is OF vital concern to
the welfare OF all farmers, and especial
~ TO those who own stock.
i The Georgia Breeders association Is
new organization. this being its sec
ond meeting. It's object is to promote
the breeding Standardization and i'm
1 provement of corn. cotton. and live stock.
! Attention this year win chiefly be d.
rected TO the first two items mentioned.
1t has been demonstrated that the seed
now used is often inferior and of an
undesirable character and quality. As
result, yields are reduced where they
should be Increased. Destructive dis
eases are spread where they should be
held in check and might be eliminated.
The resulting loss amounts into the
millions and tends to impoverish those
who cultivate the land. To understand
the principles of selection and the choice
and use Of good seeds are matters Of vi
l tai concern to every farmer.
HORTICULTURAL MEETING.
In competition with the foregoing meet
ings there win be a conference on hor-
ltsculture. and one on forestry. Visit
