RURAL SCHOOLS ANO
IMPROVED FARMING
THEM SMITH
He Gives Out Interview Out
lining Views Which Will
Probably Be Stressed in His
Message to Legislature
la a statemen: given out Saturday,
Gov.-elect Hoks Smith outline* th- prob
able topics which will be dix'ussed mere
at length in hla message to the people of
the state. He expresses the opinion that
th* prosperity of the state depends pri
marily upon the net profits derived from
th* cultivation of the soil an- advocates
three important things in the attainment
of this end.
First, th* improvement of rural schools.
Second, th* adoption of the very best
methods by th* fanners of the stat*.
Third, the settlement in Georgia of ca
pable white fanners from other sections
of th* country who will own their own
farms and Uve and work on then-..
In connection with the improvement of
the rural schools of the state. Gov.-elect
Hoke Smith urges the creation of a board
of education composed of educators. In
regard to advanced education in agricul
ture he advocates the publicity of In
formation which will help men engaged
In farming to improve their methods.
The statement In full Is as follows:
The prosperity of Georgia depends pri
marily upon the net profits derived from
the cultivation of the soil.
The problem of the farm Is, therefore,
closely idenlfied with the interests of ev
ery man in the state, whether he be en
gaged in farming, manufacturing, mer
chandising or professional work.
It is now realised that successful farm
ing does not depend simply upon manual
labor, but that it is a pursuit which of
fer* th* widest field for scientific investi
gation. and which requires the very best
of trained minds.
For farm progress In Georgia among
others three things are essential:
First—The improvement of our rural
schools.
Second—The adoption of the very best
methods by ail the farmers of th* state.
Third—The settlement In Georgia of
capable white farmers from other sec
tions of our country who will own their
own farms, live on them and work them.
RURAL SCHOOLS.
Os our 8.000 whit* teachers engaged in
rural school work, probably one-fourth of
them resign, and go into other occupa
tions each year.
While our rural school teachers are ear
east and faithful, they have not as a rule
had that opportunity for preparation
many of them would have desired.
Three-fourths of the county school com
missioners are paid for only a portion of
ih*ir time, and many of them are, there
fore. not in a position to furnish leader
ship and direction for the rural school
work.
The stat* appropriates thia year 82.6C0,-
~<• to our public school*. The' state school
commissfoner. however efficient though
he is. cannot alone give that supervision
and leadership which the expenditure of
this large sum of money Justifies.
I have discussed this subject with
teachers. legislators, business men and
farmers The suggestions I present see
largely made up of view* expressed by
others.
Firs: —Let us create a state board of
education composed of educators.
A bill to this effect has been before the
legislature for four years past. Opposi
tion on account of rivalry as to positions
upon the new board perhaps contributed
to prevent the passage of the bill.
How would the officials who from
time to time occupy the following posi
tions do as a state board of education: j
State school commission.
Chancellor of the University,
President of the State College of Agri
President of the Athens Normal.
President of the Milledgeville Normal.
President of Emory,
President of Mercer,
President of the Farmers Union?
The governor of the state might al
so properly be made a member.
Such a board would certainly present
suggestions and directions which would
greatly improve the rural school work
of the state.
SUPERVISION OF RURAL SCHOOLS
But in addition to such a board, we
must give the rural schools the benefit
of more complete supervision.
To do this I suggest a rural school
supervisor for each congreesesional dis
trict. to be elected by the new state
board of education.
These supervisors in their respective
districts could meet with the county
school commissioners and co-operate
With them in their work.
They could meet with the teachers in
•very county and aid in holding county
normal schools, which should greatly
add to the good work of th* teachers
They could go to the schools and stim
ulate th* work in the schools.
They could help organise boys’ agri
cultural clubs and girls’ work.
They could aid in the instruction of
agriculture in the rural schools of th*
stats
They eould stimulate the study of
home sanitation.
They could contribute Imemnsely to
wards making the school houses in the
rural sections the center of instruc
tion and entertainment both for parents
and fbr children.
ADVANCED INSTRUCTION IN AGRI
CULTURE
•_ The State College of Agriculture Is
doing a groat work for the farming in
terests of Georgia, not alone in teaching
the boys who attend aa students, but in
studying problems and furnishing in
formation for the use of the grown
farmers.
The greatest publicity should be given
through this institution to all Informa
tion which will help men now engaged
In farming to adopt better methods.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION
Os PEACH CROP IS
FEARED IN GEORGIA
Trees in Full Bloom and Cold
Wave Will Devaste the Crop
Czclare Entomologist and
Growers
A general feeling of depression and un
easiness is reported among peach growers
throughout the state of Georgia and it is
the opinion of experts that the crop this
year will be almost totally destroyed be
fore tlje peaches make their appearance
upon the tree*.
It is a generally conceded fact that one
or more severe cold spells are usually ex
perienced in this state during the month
of February. Peculiar weather conditions
have existed during the recent past which
have caused the blossoms to break into
full bloom on practically all tree* in the
southern portion of the state and in the
northern section blooms are appearing,
although they are not as far developed.
ENTOMOLOGIST WORRIED.
E. L Worsham, state entomologist,
stated Friday morning that the outlook
was very blue and unless weather condi
tions continued moderate during the re
mainder of th* month the chances were
the peach crop would suffer great dam
age.
Senator W. S. West, of Valdosta, who
was a visitor at the state capltol Friday,
stated that in that section of the country
the peacn tree* were in full bloom and
that growers were fearful of a total de
vastation of their crops in the event of a
cold wave.
Assistant State Entomologist A. C.
Lewis, who Is In Thomson, informed the
local members of the department of agri
culture that blossoms were appearing on
the trees In that section and that the out
look was very blue for the crop this year.
For many years Georgia has been con
sidered one of the foremost peach sec
tions in the United States, the products
from this state ranking among the first
in the country. Last year was consider
ed a bumper year in the peach crop and
the official records show that the output
was more than 6,000 carloads. In former
years this record was equaled but tn some
instances the crop only amounted to
about 2,000 carloads.
OUTDOOR IS GLOOMY.
From th* present outlook it is feared
that the crop this year will fall below
any previous year’s record and that Geor
gia will have to be the recipient of ship
ments 'of peaches from other states in
order to meet the demands of the public
for this article of diet which ha* become
a favorite for household use during the
spring and summer months.
It 1* generally conceded among all
growers that the only thing which can
save the crop this year will be an early
spring with no severe cold In the ex
treme southern section of the state the
effect of light cold waves can be some
what abated by the burning of rubbish
and brush In the orchards, which wilt
prevent frost on the trees, but tn the
northern sections this will not prevent
an almost total destruction of th* crop.
FRUIT EXCHANGE’S VIEW.
At the Georgia Fruit Exchange it was
stated that exlatting conditions were not
thought to be of such a serious nature to
the prospects of the peach crop for the
year. It was the opinion generally among
the men In that office that the crop would
not suffer any material damage unless
the warm weather continued for a few
days and was followed by a heavy rain.
In this event it was thought that the de
velopment of the blossoms would progress
to such an extent that a cold spell would |
be of great damage.
Grave Fears Are Felt
For Houston Peaches
FORT VALLEY. Ga, Feb. k—The most
prominent fruit men of this section ex
press the gravest fears for the safety of
the peach crop for the coming season.
For three weeks or more the unusually
warm weather has been developing the
buds, until now they are almost ready
to open, while some trees are already
in full bloom.
It is the consensus of opinion that an
extreme freeze after this would prove
fatal g> most of the fruit.
Conceern Is Felt
For Peach Trees
BUCKHEAD. Ga.. Feb. k—A great deal
of concern is felt here by those interest
ed in the peach-growing Industry kt the
continued warm weather.
It is feared that a heavy freeze now
would damage If not ruin the crop.

Welcome to Farm Demons
tration Train —Will Visit
Nearly All Counties
Tuesday morning at daylight, from
Athens, the second agricultural train
will start its tour of. Georgia, almost
three years to a day after its predeces
sor began the pioneer trip. On February
10. 1908. the first train started from Ath
ens at daylight, just as this one will;
and for the succeeding week It fought
Its way through a frozen world that a
mantle of Ice and slow had fallen upon.
Profound interest throughout Georgia
has been manifest since the first an
nouncement, some months ago, that the
train would run again. Mayors, leading
merchants and farmers and bankers,
county officials, individuals—all have
shown a lively concern in what the train
was going to do snd in the extent to
which their community would fare in Its
travels.
The 1908 train was a complete novelty
in Georgia, and the pioneer work it did
was accomplished under difficulties.
People did not know its purpose or un
derstand its meaning.
The 1911 train, though, has been a
known quantity from the beginning of
the plans for it. When the first an
nouncement was made, and dally since
then, the more active communities of
the state have been besieging the au
thorities of the state agricultural col
lege at Athens with requests that the
train be sure \o Include their town In
its journey. Everywhere a welcome has
been prepared for the coming of “the
college on wheels.’’ Everywhere the
whole countryside has been told of the
date and hour of the train’s coming, and
has been bidden to gather In town on
the day of its visit. In all respects the
1911 train is a complete known quantity
before it ever rolls a wheel.
The train will be in charge of Dr.' An
drew M. Soule, president ot the state
agricultural college. Under him will be
numerous experts from th e college. Sev
eral state officials wil accompany the
train at intervals. The press of the state
will be well represented. The whol* lit
tle company that travels with the train
will live and eat and sleep and work
aboard it. A Pullman coach, the last
car in the train, will be their home for
47 days, from February 7 to March 25,
along thousands of miles of railroad
track all within the borders of Georgia.

anything but commonplace To them it

But while the Illinois ear wins the ad
miration and applause of the'Jgeneral
public because of its unique distinction
of being the best ear of corn in the
world, It is the Indiana prize winning
corn that wins the approbation of the
professional corn growers. For the con
test for the celebrated Indiana corn
growers’ $1,500 trophy for the best 10
ears is the real test of the corn grower.
One prize ear might be a streak of luck.
Ten prize ears unquestionably bespeak
the high art of the fancy corn grower.
The Indiana trophy (donated by the
Indiana association) is the blue ribbon
prize of the com growing world. The
country is raked with a fine-tooth comb
to find the ten ears that shall deserve
the award of this big silver cup. Every
set of ten ears entered in the national
contest is a prize winner in its own
state, so that the judges must needs de

MILLION FARMERS
START PLAN TO RUE
RECIPROCITY Olli
Legislative Committee of Na
tional Grange Will Go to
Washington to Map Out
Campaign Against Treaty
(By Associated Prsss.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—The machinery
of the National Grange, an organization
claiming a membership of 1,000,000 farm
ers in 30 states, has been started to do- |
feat the ratification by congress of th* g
Canadian reciprocity treaty. The leg-*
islative committee of the grange, at a
special meeting today at the Hotel Man- M
hattan, adopted a resolution protesting
against the enactment of the reciprocity
bill, called upon the membership to *x- |
ert pressure on congress men from theli
various districts to vote th*
measure and decided to go to Wash- I
Ington to map out a campaign there.
GIVES OUT STATEMENT. ... f
Gov. N. J. Blanchard. of Concord,
chairman of the legislative committee, H
declared today the national body was
composed of 7,000 granges scattered
throughout the northern half of the Uni- ,
ted States from Maine to California and
that it was his opinion the granges
would support the committee unanl- ■
mously.
“We are not opposed to a general re- :
duction of the tariff.’’ said Mr. Atkin
son, of the committee, "but we are op
posed to any arrangsn.*nt which will
make fish of one industry and flesh oi
another. Regulate the tariff, yes, buk
do it all at once, and not by a reciproc- |
ity treaty with a country that exports
agricultural products almost exclusive
ly. Remove the tariff on steel and iron
and manufactured articles «dong with <
farm products and we won’t object. But -.1
we don’t think it fair, to compel th* |
farmers to compete with foreign pro. :
ducts and allow the manufacturers t 3 3
derive the benefit of a high protective i
tariff. refll
WRITE REPRESENTATIVES.
"Acting along thede lines, .we have
decided to oppose the enactment of the i,
bill. The committee Issued a statement
this afternoon which will be sent to
every one of the 7,500 granges in the ot
ganizatlon. These have a membership i
of 50 to 1,000 farmers each. We shall
ask every member to wri*te his represen
tatives in congress, urging him to vote
against the bill. I think we can defeat
it in this manner, but we are not going
to take any chances and the committee >
has decided to go to Washington and
work for that end."
In its statement, the committee says
that acting In response to thousands of
letters and telegram< urging it to pro- J
tect the farmers’' Inwests, the protesi ||
Is Issued.
REASONS
"The undersigned, ths
present pifbcipal of farm
ers in the United earnttttly J>ro-
test against the enac, nentoZthe Cam-* 7’
dian reciprocity bill, now pending in M
congress for the following reasons: J
”1. The bill provides for the admission |
fr*e of dut yof all Canadian farm pro
ducts. Since Canada 1* the only country j
from which any considerable quantity ot ’
these products can under any circum- I
stances be imported, this would result in
practically free trade In everything th*
farmer produces.
"2. While putting farm products on
the free list, the reciprocity bill makes
no material reduction in the high tariff
rates on all the manufactured articles
the farmer buys, and therefore gives no
relief from the heavy burden of taxation
Imposed by these duties.
"3. The theory on which our protec
tive policy has always been defended is g
that all classes and Interests are equally.
entitled to protection. Tho farmers, how- j
ever, receive much less protection than j
the manufacturers, for while farm pro- j|
ducts are taxed on the average about 26 I
per cent, manufactured articles are tax- fl
ed on an average of about 45 per cenkfll
WOULD HURT FARMERS.
"4. The enactment of the Canadian
clproctty bill would still further
inate agains: the farmers by
the comparatively slight protection
given them, while leaving the high
tectlve duties on manufactures
rally untouched.
"5. The Canadian farmers, by
of their lower general tariff and
preferential trade arrangements, can buy j||
manufactured goods at lower price* H
than those prevailing In this country. W
The prices of farm lands in Canada ar* fl
also much lower than in the United fl
States. These conditions give the Canae fl
dian farmers an advantage over u* and I
the free admission of thelf products will M
submit us to unfair competition. ■» ~««
“6. We hold that the farmers should
receive exactly the same measure of
protection as 1* given the manufacturers
and that there must be no reduction of
duties on farm products, either by reci
procity or tariff revision, unless th*
duties on all manufactured articles ar*
at the same time correspondingly reduc
ed.
“7. To show that this reciprocity meas
ure is not an honest effort to reduce th*
cost of living In the interest of the con
sumer, it is sufficient to point out whll*
whea is on the free list, flour !g taxed
50 cents per barrel, and that while cat- 5
tie, sheep and hogs are free, meats, both
fresh and cured, are taxed 1 1-4 cents per
pound for the benefit of the meat trust."
Says Reciprocity Must
Stand or Fall as Whole
