A few days ago Governor Hard

ter follows:
"To The Public: We are now pass
ing through strenuous days in the
economic reconstruction of our land.
"Many changes arc taking place
in our industrial, commercial and
agricultural life.
"Our country must get down to
reaf business ana learn ho" W o"'1
and make. ;,
Many wastcful methods in all
lines of activity in our past must DC
eliminated.
81 wish to call attention to the
fact that the State of Georgia IN the
main is almost wholly an agricultural
state.
1T is true our state has many re-
sources other than farming, but it
must be borne In mind that our TIM
ber reserves are pretty well used up,
and the plow is now taking the place
of the forest.
Our mining is limited and our
manufacturing is small. Our main
resource is agriculture.
Then let us give our best efforts
to making a prosperous agriculture
