the state college is Attempting to do, !"
DR.. SouIc declared. Old methods
must be forgotten, new methods
learned. The farm home must have
more of the comforts and necessi-
Ities, he believes, if Georgia is to
keep her young life on the farms it
is her Young life on which the state
depends, he said
! "Fhore used to be slogan, Go
west, young man." said Commits
aloncr Brown, "but today that has
been changed and now the nation
hears go South, young man." and
Georgia offers opportunities as
great as any other spot on the globe.

sands of acres of lands lying out
that are capable of producing from
500 to $500 an acre. We need
