NAMED about the same, according to
reports received by the state depart
ment of agriculture from every section
OF Georgia

Seventeen counties report damage

Commissioner Price is now attend
ing the boil weevil meetings held in
the southwestern section under the
auspices of the state board of entom-
ology, in the effort to asst the farm
ers in solving this important problem.
The campaign against Commissioner
of Agriculture Price appears to be
based wholly upon the fact that during
two years "A department employees and
attaches expended $32,12O.SS for ex-
penses of travel, hotel, samples, bot
( ties, ETC., making an average of $18.G9
tper month per man.
According to Commissioner Price
his opponents are trying to create
sentiment by distorting the facts in
connection with this expenditure. 1t
is a customary expenditure. 1t is q
customary expenditure, he says, and
one which must be made in accordance
with law, in order that the people OF
/, the state may secure the actual pro-
lection which the law seeks to give
them.

ponent regarding this matter" said
Commissioner Price, sis to the eeffct
that only $1,000 of the amount is sup
ported by voucher. This is not only a
reinstatement, but is absolutely false.
AS matter of fact every dollar of the
amount is accounted for either by
