Mr.. Barnett conducted the prayer
meeting Sunday night. A good crowd
WIS present nd much interest was
manifested.
A friend told us that he always
looked for the letters of Allen and
Don't You See first for the reason
that they nearly always had some
thing to say about farming. If they
could see our firm floating round
this evening, they wouldn't think
there would be much dong on this
one any time soon.
We doubt if there has been a fur
row plowed in Cobb County since
November, and in fact there was
abuot the least fall blowing done of
any one year tina we remember. If
the rains continue and we can get
the Balkan war stopped we don't see
anything to hinder cotton from
bringing fifteen cents and then we
mean to sell our two crops and swear
off ever lpanting any more. The farm
ers will undoubtedly be wise one
more time and plant plenty of corn
this Spring. If they do the cotton
Gregg will necessarily be reduced in
this part Of Georgia this year for
there was more oats sowed last fal.
than ever has been in one year be-
fore and they are looking fine.
Since Allen has already told you
about his post graduate course at the
A. and M. College at MacLand it is
needless for me to say that the day
was highly enjoyed and the time we'll
spent. And after some reflection we
really believe that the two things
that impressed us most Except the
spacious dining hall with it's long
tables loaded down with appetizers)
was the lecture by Professor Jones.
who, by the way said that if there
was any one thing that he did know
1t WIS Chickens, for, said he, he was.
almost raised in a chicken yrad. We
honestly that man could talk for a
solid week about chickens then if
we would succeed at anything we
must make the thing We are inter
ested in whole life's study.
1t certainly was interesting to hear
Prof Bradford relate how to make
four ears of corn grow where only
! one nubben had grown before. Also
his remarks on he keeping of public
building and grounds and so on was
well worthy of noe and Allen didn't
forge to make notes of all that he
! heard.
After all we only wish that more
farmers would attend these free lee
lures. If they were advertised as
slight of hand shows, we would all
be there with Sarah Jan and all the
children.
Seems like we are merely down in
Florida now for we are eating spin
