, Broadly speaking the work OF the
Georgia Association is three ioio
First TO bring Tin full cooperation

,rb;cb all our farm population will
,or,;c;nate. so that the hundred MIL
i;o, dollar annual money drain Tor
food and grain products will be
s+onned at the earliest possible date,
Inns increasing Georgia's permanent
capital that much.
Second, to assist in every posi-
ble and legitimate way une worthy
among our present farm tenant popu-
lation to attain farm land ownership
a,d bomes About two-thirds or
Georgia's farms at present are ten
ant operated, largely on one year
contract basis. Such tenancy is rec
oqnized by every thinking man as
,ndos;rahIe for tenant and landowner
alike.
Third, bringing to Georgia new set
tiers of desirable character from oth-
or states to make use of the millions
of acres of unused farm lands and
which cannot be cultivated by our
present farm population. In the
states to the north and east OF US
are several hundred thousand vigor-
Gus. hard working young farm men
and women who cannot get land
owning foothold under high priced
land conditions and the relatively Inn
tied farm opportunities of that sec
tion We need these new people to
add to whatever we already have.
They can be brought here if we tell
Them what We have in the way Of
farm opportunities, and provide the
way through easy purchase terms on
relatively low priced lands.

not only the honor conferred on me
by election to the presidency of the
Georgia Association but the 'respon-
sibiity as we'll Where one views the
accomplishments of this organization
under almost heartbreaking circum-
stances and lack of support from
those whose stake in Georgia was
the greatest, one must necessarily
come to the conclusion that Provi-
dence has recognized the necessity for
its work and preserved the organiza-
ton for future usefulness.
Alex Seasons, John Slater, c. K. C.
Ausley and Hugh Westberry, all eff
cient men, sacrificed largely of their
t;mem and personal means; the late
George Belts actually laid down his
life for this cause, and Secretary F..
II. Abbott barely escaped similar
fate. 1t is uncomfortable that the eff

fort and sacrifices made by these
men and the more than score of d.
rectors scattered over Georgia should
go for naught.
While recognizing to the fullest ex-
tent my own limitations, | pleA8e to
Georgia, through the Georgia 30
citation, my best efforts to bring Geor-
gia to the degree OF development that
God evidently intended when He en-

With the cooperation and support of
all our people there is no limit to

MAKE READY
FOR WORK AT
NO NAME KEY
S. J. GROVES AND SONS COM
PANY UNLOADING DRAG
LINES AND MUCH OTHER
EQUIPMENT.

The S. ]. Groves and Sons Com
pany, of Minneapolis, who were
awarded the Over Sea Highway
contract from Sugar Loaf to No
Name Key, are now unloading
their draglines and other equip
ment, establishing their present
base on Cudjoe Key.
Piling and lumber have been
ordered by the company, and it is
expected that the work will be un-
der way rapidly.
The Minnesota contractors were
awarded the contract February
10 by the Monroe County COM
missioners for the construction of
projects 2 and 9 of the Over Sea
Highway. The Groves company's
bid for construction was 1915, ,010.
Projects z and 9 include con-
struction of roads and bridges con-
Meeting Ramrod Key with No
Name Key and the linking of Gras-
sy Key to Knights Key.
Before leaving Key West last
February, Mr.. Groves stated that
it was his company's aim to COM
plete the project as soon as pos
sible and work would be started
in a short time.
No contract was awarded for
the construction of project 10, be-
cause the commissioners believe
that there is no urgent need for
this work until the long bridges
have been provided for.
The Over Sea company at that
time submitted the lowest combin-
ed bids for the three projects, z,
9 and 10, totaling $1,118, ,235.
The Over Sea Company's bid of
$198, 200 for project 10 was $751;
900 lower than the amount bid
by the Groves company.
The Minneapolis concern bid
$44,985 lower for projects Z and
9 than the Over Sea company.
Projects z and 3 are about 20
miles of road and bridge work.
The distance Of project 10 is ap-
proximately seven and one half
miles.
