Program Attracts National
Acclaim And Admiration
West Georgia Rural Life
Continued From Page One
With Mr. Claxton as its head, the
Rural Life farm was begun in 1940.
One of its purposes of the rural life
work is to show what fine fruits can
be grown at home and how to pro
duce them. The educational part of
rural life is of paramount importance.
A secondary purpose is to furnish
food for the dining hall. Rural Life
students participate in some of the
horticulture and observe other opera
tions on the farm. They plant fruits
und berries in the class nursery and
have the natural increase to take to
their teaching positions for planting
on the school grounds.
On the farm are 261 different varie
ties of fruit planted side by side for
the purpose of comparison. Among
them are found several varieties of
each of the following: strawberry,
dewberry, blackberry, raspberry,
bunch grape, muscadine type grape,
apple, peach, pear, plum, cherry, per
simmon, fig, oriental persimmon, apri
cot, nectarine, and pluracot.
One of the purposes of trying out so
many varieties is that Mr. Claxton
believes that plants are like people in
that some can adapt themselves to
their environment and some never
do. Mr. Claxton states that by care
ful selection of several varieties of
any one fruit a number of things may
be accomplished. The picking season
can be extended over a long duration
from the beginning of the earliest
varieties to the ending of the latest
varieties. High quality and tender
types can be grown for home can
sumption. This is preferable to buy
ing on the market tougher sorts that
have to withstand shipment and
rough handling.
Mr. Chvxton has demonstrated in
his own back yard a perfect sequence
of fresh fruits which can be had from
the last of April until November or
later, to say nothing of the possibili
ties of filling in the rest of the year
with canned fruit, preserves, jellies,
jams, and juices.
