THE FIGHT is ON.

A straightforward, sincere AMI
needful appeal has been made by Sena-
tor Ogden Persons, of Forsyth, for
concerted movement on the part OF
the business men of Georgia to assist
the fight On the boil weevil which has
already been found in over thirty Geor-
gia counties.
In an address before the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, at Macon yes
terday, Mr.. Persons acquainted the
body with the perils which would fol-
low inattention and thoughtlessness or
the part OF the Georgia business man.
The boil weevil is here, notwith-
standing reports to the contrary. This
statement is based on information as
made known by State Entomologist Lee
Worsham, agents of the federal gov
eminent and other prominent author.
tiles.
And with all the probable good in.
tentions of the people who doubt its
presence, they are working harm
among the farmers. BY conflicting
statements doubt will be raised, ami
the already hard work before the
state will be made doubly so.
This is no time for needless wrangl-
ing. 1t would only be a repetition OF
facts widely known to point out the
results from the invasion of the boil
weevil into the state of Alabama and
Mississippi. A wake of ruin was left.
Business was panicky, uncertain AMI
treacherous.

becomes the duty of every business
man, professional man and citizen to
give all the cooperation within thei.
power to this movement
The farmers are willing to receive
help, but they are not in a position to
go out and seek this information. It
only remains for the true and loyal
Georgia-loving citizen to carry this to
the backbone of the country.
Talk, agitation, crusade - nothing
will do any good unless the people re-.
ceive the information in the spirit in
which it is given.
