THE COUNTY WILL HAVE
4 FARM DEMONS TRAITOR
COMMISSIONERS UNANIMOUSLY
DECIDE to BEAR EXPENSE
OF ONE WITH STATE

A number Of citizens Of Dawson
and Terrell county met this Tues
day. morning with the county com
missioners for the purpose of Undue
ing the commissioners to join the
state in Furnishing to the county dur
ing the next year an expert not only
for the general advancement of the
agricultural interests of the county
but for the management of the boil
weevil.
After a general discussion of the
matter it was unanimously agreed by
the commissioners to bear one-half
the expense of such expert during
the year 1917. AS stated in the out
set the state takes care of the other
half.
This is a long step in the right di-
rection The possibilities for advanc-
ed agriculture in Terrell county are
altogether too gerat to hesitate at the
expenditure of a few hundred dol
lars which in the end means not hum
dreds but many thousands to the
county. With diversification of crops
directed by expert advice there is no
estimating the good to come to every
interest in the county. Instead of its
being curse we are thoroughly con-
WINGED that the boil weevil will prove
largely instrumental in promoting
great betterment to every energetic,
Wide-awake citizen of Terrell.
