Alfalfa Program
For Ebert County
Highly Commended

ELBERTON, Ca. July ,3.-The
meeting of the Rotary club Saturday
was featured by an address by w
D. Halves, an insurance man OF Ell
Paso. Texas, and formerly a citizen
of Elberton, who moved west some
four or fin e years ago and entered
the insurance field there.
Mr.. Halves in his talk jointed out
the differences in the climates,
crops, people, and various other
things of Georgia and Texas. He
also stated the financial depression
we are experiencing here just now
is quite in contrast to what they are
enjoying out there. ...-.
One of tie most important and in
teresting statements made by Mr..
Halves was that he congratulated the
people of Ebert county on undertak-
ing to make Gilbert county the al
falfa county," and urged them to
carry out their expressed lntentlons
of pledging every farmer to put al
falfa on every farm. He stated thaC
he noticed some months ago FL Paso
county shipped each year two MIL
lion dollars worth of alfalfa nay
That he had occasion to call upon
commission merchants one DAY anu
asked this merchant where all this
alfalfa is shipped, and the merchant
replied that most of it is shipped to
Atlanta and Savannah and other
southern cities.
j The Rotary club voted to back
the uniform farm program for the
county in every way possible and
each member agreed to serve on any
committees necessary IN. pledsing the
farmers of the county to plant al

in accordance with the specifications
of the bureau of mines of the federal
government" continued Mr.. Brown.
Moreover, we are going to ask
the assembly to empower the oil in

that he had heard many complaints
of alleged short measure in the sales
Of gasoline.
