The Future of Agriculture as Viewed by a Pioneer

Abstract

[Preceeded by an Introduction by Doctor Anderson, Dean, College of Veterinary Medicine, Univeristy of Georgia.]

One of the problems about an introduction is that you have to be rather careful that you don't inhale some of these things people say kindly about you. When I came in I went down to the exhibit hall first and I heard some strange language down there. It was sort of the English language, but had a sort of a peculiar twang to it, and I began to realize that all these people weren't from Georgia. Some of them evidently had gotten across the line and on the other side, so I thought I should at least mention that. You see many years ago-I'm a pioneer they say here-many years ago we were rather careful about how many Yankees we let into this area. One time a bunch came through here and when they got through there wasn't much left! They got so careless with fire that, brother, they just about did us in. So for a long period of time we were very careful, but we finally began to catch on.
