Just at present we have some seri-
GUS questions before the people of
Georgia, to be solved One Of the
most important questions before us,
is that Of working out Marketing
System for the Farmers of Georgia.
We have been studying production
and Scientific farming for many
years. This has met 9Th great sue
cess and we hope this good work will
60 on, in fact it must DO on, but the
time has come when the farmer must
work out system, that will give
him profits as we'll as products from
his farm.
Since we are confronted with the
boil weevil in Georgia, and have had
to substitute other crops for the cot
ton crop, therefore the question of
marketing has become more import
ant today than ever before. 1t will
be necessary to have an adequate sys-
TEN in order to dispose of our pro-
ducts, at reasonable prices.
We want the opinion of our farm
ers on this and other questions, and
