WANTS COUNTY DEMONSTRATION
RETAINED

On last Tuesday night at the Spar
school house the people of Sparr
were treated to a very interesting
and instructive picture show on the
corn weevi1, livestock, and the work
of the boys corn clubs in different
parts OF the state.
This treat, we are glad to say, was
given by MT Blackburn, our county
demonstration, Mr.. Jenkins, of the
Florida experimental station at
Gainesville, and Mr. Curry Of the
Seaboard agricultural department.
All three men made fine talks and
will do our community much good az
we see palmer the reason why we
should get closer together in our
work and save more of the corn that
is being destroyed by the weevil.
The sentiment Of the crowd. which
represented large part of the peo-
pie here, is that our county needs
a county demonstration to help carry
on this work, and we believe that
the county as a whole will show to
the county commissioners at their
next meeting that the people want
Mr.. Blackburn or some other good
man to look after this important
work
The boys pig club in this cnuntv
alone is raising enough improved
hogs to more than pay our county
demonstration and leave a big profit
for themselves. So we say, let the
good work go on.
Very truly,

Governor Cats was exceedingly
boastful OF carrying out all Of the
promises he made when he was q
candidate for the high position which
ne now fills. but he did not mention
the fact that he promised reduction
!of state taxes, whereas taxes have
increased from six to twelve mills
during his administration. Neither
did ne boast Of having used his office

illegally removed those elected by
