For this and many other reasons these' advantages cannot be accomplished except through-organized efforts. "What can one man do about rat control when his neighbor is ignorant of the fact?" Think it over," come out - and watch ' your community grow. We are asking every Negro farmer and Homemak er to attend these meetings in your respective community..
