Governor HardWick and Agri-
cultural and Business Ex-
perts to Speak at Vital
Fai.. .erS' Meeting

Georgia, possibly the entire south,
will begin in Athens on January %
and last for four days. At the end
of that time this state will, it is
believed, have a comprehensive and
organized plan for placing agricul-
ture in Georgia on a firm paying
basis. The program for the con-
ference was completed Thursday
and announced by DR.. Andrew NJ.
Soule, president of the state college
of agriculture.
| 1t has taken three months to pre-
pare the program. 1t icludes adj
dresses by some of the nations fore
most agricultural, financial and
marketing experts. The meetings OF
the conference will all be held at the
state college of agriculture but, DR..
Soule emphatically announced in
giving out the program, it will not
be an agricultural college affair. In
finite care entered into the construc-
ton of the program which was COM
pleted only after a score or more of
conferences with agricultural and
business leaders in Georgia.
An address by DR.. Soule on the
Economic Situation" will officially
open the conference. On the pro-,
gram will be Governor Thomas W..
Hardwick, Haynes McFadden, J. j.
Wilkins, of Athens, Lloyd Tenny,
of the bureau of markets in Wash
ington, and K. B. Seeds, of the same
department. The conference will
close Friday night which will be
morked by a brilliant reception for
the delegates.
In discussing the purpose Of the
conference. DR.. Soule said the time
has come when the business men
and farmers in Georgia must get
down to brass tacks and work out
a practical program for the rehabili-
tation of agriculture and launching
it upon a business basis. To accom-
plish this is the principal purpose of
the marketing conference, which had
it's inception in the repeated and now
clamorouS appeal of farming and
business interests for the State Col
lege of Agriculture to evolve some
workable plan for the revivificatiOn
of agriculture which apparently was
given temporary setback by the
boil weevil.
In framing the program, nothing
of importance has been overlooked.
It is a well-rounded program, where.
in the man who grows crops, the
man who markets crops and the
man who finances the marketing
will put their heads together in lay
ing the foundation for healthy
agriculture in Georgia. The program
does not contemplate the abandon
ment of cotton as crop in this
state nor the substitution of truck
Farming for cotton altogether, but it
aims to arrive 1T a community Of
understanding by the farmers and
business men of Georgia in writing
a new chapter in the agricultural
life of the state.
