such men from each small rural coun-
ty and proportionately more from
the larger counties. These men to the
extent required, could then become the
licensed agents of the State Bureau of
markets and Rural Organization. Their
tuition and transportation to and
from the college, should be paid by
the state, thus placing all countries
on an equal masis.
1t need not be added that in co-opera-
ton with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, an extensive market news
service should be provided through
out Georgia, so that every farmer OF
the state, whether producing on a
large or small scale, whether poor
or wealthy, ignorant or we'll inform
ed and whether near or remote as re-
CARDS to the best facilities, can pro-
cure for his products prices uniform
" as good as can be had elsewhere
ing her own affairs in way thorough
in the state.
Our Country's Flag Everywhere in
Georgia.
If the urban population of Georgia
shall do the things l have suggested,
we can then claim to be united po-
pie, and our Country's Flag can APP
propriately be used as symbol OF
patriotic service to the Nation. Let
it be tackled to every pillow in the,
and let the farmers produce foods and
feedstuffs in abundance. But l plead
Tor it's sincere use also as fixture at
the Threshold of every store, bank
elecator, Warehouse, cannery, pack
ing houses, etc, in the state. The
fermer or business man who fails to
cooperate should be sent into the
military camps for training and
service at the front. The man who
fails to his duty in this hour of
humanity's need is a Stacker and I'M
worthy the esteem of liberty-loving
people
GeOrgia's Supreme Duty.
In conclusion, l beg to suggest that
the people of Georgia are now called
upon to do quickly what is not only
urgent from prudent and patriotic
considerations, but the very thing that
is calculated to swing them into line
with a regime that means the winning
OF their economic independence and
permanent prosperity. In practically
no case will it be found that the
machinery and equipment required
for the solution of immediate prob
lens are unsuited to the progress of
a substantial and thoroughgoing
swing in the direction of a diversified
or livestock type of farming on which
shall depend the prosperity and hap
piness of Georgia people. Assuming
that our state should feed Itself very
largely after the world war is ended,
if such contamination should be hap
py and leave our Nation free and
sovereign people, free of yoke placed
upon us by foreign autocracy it is reas-
enable to suppose that an ever-in-
creasing supply of foods and feed
stuffs will be in demand and at renum-
erative prices. Warehouse, storage
and market facilities in addition to
these that shall spring into existence
within the few months ahead, and at
practically every point in the state,
will be required. Georgia, being dis
tinctly an agricultural state and
peculiarly adapted to the production of
food and foodstuffs, can best further
the interests of the Nation by handl-
" consistent with her lightest econom-
ic interests. She is not called upon to
make great sacrifices, but simply to
feed herself and work out her econom-
ie salvation. The demand upon US is
that we act quickly and with a de-
gree of unison far beyond the meas
ure to which we have been accustom-
