mercial development. The converse
must therefore be true-that the lack
of agricultural development In Glynn
| county is in a large measure rcsponsi-
Die for the backwardness OF Bruns-
wick 1t Is probably better for us To
! face conditions and admit certain
stern facts. We know that Brunswick
has many excellent advantages. These
advantages are 50 faminar to US that
II is unnecessary for US TO name
them. We also know that Brunswick
mas not grown in proportion to its re-
| markablc advantages. We dare say
that every thinking man in Brunswick
has asked himself the question time
and time again: Why does Bruins
wick build slowly with great neigh
bors on each side that are growing
rapidly" The answer to the query
is complex. No single reply sufiices
to explain conditions at Brunswick
This committee ventures the follow
ing reasons In the hopes that the con
certcd effort OF the people Of Bruins
wick win be able TO remedy some of
lem in the near future. If Bruins
wick were on the main line Of north
ern and southern travel and II there
were $4,000 good progressive white
farmers with their families IN Glynn
county and surrounding counties, meth
ing could keep I}runswick from becom-
ing the city that It is entitled to be.
This committee has nothing to do di-
rectly with the work Of the Board of
Trade which viii tend to cure the lack
Of transportation facilities. That sub
jCct has been well handled by the
| transportation COMMITTEES and by the
| public highways committee. AS TO the
agricultural development we have TAX.
On certain steps TO remedy conditions
and we believe that the people Of o +
county and our officials are so thor.
oughly alive to the Importance OF the
agricultural development that steps
will soon be taken to cure our short
comings In that line.
This committee believes that Glynn
county should employ g farm deycl-
| opment expert to teach our farmers
| The best modern methods known -
| agricultural science and the comma,
tee has gene SO far as to appear be.
| fore the county commissioners request
! ing the employment of such farm
expert. Our commissioners met us In
the friendliest of cooperative spirit
and we feel quite sure that If the
man the committee then had in view
could have been secured our commia
sioncrs would have employed him with
cut delay. This matter has not been
allowed to drop. but the committee
and the commissioners are On the
| lookout for the kind of man we need
In Glynn county. We do not propose
| 20 make the mistake Of employing
any man who may be the first to of.
| fer himself We do not propose to
endanger the success oil the plan
| through the hasty selection of a man
| for the position This committee is
! lcrfectly willing 10 wait one or two
moro years until the proper man can
| be found We think II better to wait
and be sure to get the right man than
to dishearten our people through n
failure caused by the TASTY choice of
some man who does not come UP to
requirements
! This committee favors the develop
ment OF a tract of Glynn county land
near tho city which shall be cut up
into ten acre plots. wells bored, good
houses built on each plot. land clear
ed and put IN proper shape for the
plow and sold to farmers each of
when shall have been thoroughly in
lycstigatcd as to reliability and capa-
bility before being brought to Glynn
county. This work can be done on
4 100 acre tract with capital of
| $4,000. This work should be done
by either private capital or by our
county commissioners In short heroic
efforts must be adopted to develop the
agricultural resources OF Glynn coun-
ty THIS committee purposes to keep
Cverlastingly at II until the develop
mcnt work IL commenced,
