ODO FARMERS MEET
SPECIAL IT TENWLLE
One of Biggest Crowds in His
tory of Town Attended
Farm College Saturday
TENNILLE, Ga., March 4.—The larg
est crowd the town of Tennille has seen
In a long time was gathered at the
depot Saturday tafternoon to meet and
welcome the agricultural train. It con
sisted of practically the entire local
population and a most representative ar
ray of Washington county farmers. The
stores closed while the train was in
town, the school children were present
practically In a body, and for a host
of others It was somewhat of a gala oc
casion.
All hands on the train were looking
for a big crowd here, but It exceeded
their expectations. More than 3,000 peo
ple was the conservative estimate. Be
ing a junction point of several railroads.
Tennille has several trains in the yards
all the time and this made It rather
troublesome to find a track for park
ing the agricultural outfit but after
much switching it was finally stopped
at an ideal location where the crowd
had a wide level space directly in front
of the platform cars. They could hear
distinctly and had no trouble In seeing
the live stock exhibit.
In point of interest, in speeches and
exhibit*. the stop here was simply a
repetition of the reception it has re
ceived at so many other places. The
farmers constituted a big portion of the
crowd and showed unmistakably by the
expression on their faces, by the close
attention they gave to the speeches,
and by the keen questions they asked,
that they had not come idly, but with
an eager desire to get all the benefit
possible from what they saw and heard.
It would be hard to say which they
showed most interest in—the soil talk,
the live stock talk, the poultry talk, or
the exhibits in general. They drank It
all In, and reluctantly parted with the
train at leaving time.
The members of the committee were
T. W. Smith, J. C. Matthews, J. C.
Hamilton, A. F. Mixon and G. C. Sinque
field. Iverson Lord and B. D. Joiner,
members of the house from Washing
ton county, were also on, the platform
car. Every section of the county .'.was
represented among the farmer portion of
the crowd.
Among the promtnent farmers were A.
S. Chamlee, J. H. Hooks, George Gil

SOUTH GEORGIA HAILS
EDUCATIONAL SPECIAL
College on Wheels Made Big Run, Thursday, From Macon
Straight South to Adel, on Georgia Southern and Florida
Railroad —Reached Not Less Than 10,000 People—Cor
dially Greeted Everywhere 1
Thursday’s run 6f the educational spe
cial of the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture, from Macon on a bee-line to
ward the south to Adel, along the line of
the Georgia, Southern and Florida rail
way, was a big one right through the
heart of Georgia. It crossed several of
the lines on which the train had alrealy,
in previous schedules, made east and
west runs across that portion of the
staid.
According to estimates reported from
the train, not less than 10,000 people, al
together, were reached by the day’s
work. Scops were made at Wellston, in
Houston county; Vienna, in Dooly coun
ty; Ashburn, tn Turner county; and
Sparks and Adel, in Berrien eouhty,
Adel- having been inserted in the day’s
run at the urgent request of its leading
citizens.
Adel proved to be the surprise of the
day. Though the train did not reach
there till 6 o’clock, there was not less
than 3,000 people, according to the esti
mate, whiting for kt. The dynamo aboard
had to be set at work and the electric
illumination of the cars brought into
play, cordiality qf the Xraia’g, hosts
was demonstrated in a supper‘tendered
in honor of the party, after the day’s
work was done, it the Hotel Eety. The
reception committee was composed of the
officials of the town and of the board of
trade, and the members of the board of
education. From Adel the train made a
long night run back to Macon, returning
the way it had come; and arriving in
Macon in time to be transferred to the
Central of Georgia for Friday’s run to
Forsyth, Barnesville and Thomaston.
Wellston, the first stop, was reached at
8:30 o’clock. Eight hundred people were
waiting. T. N. Murry, principal of the
local school, welcomed the workers on
behalf of the town. Vienna was reached
at 10 o’clock. Three thousand people were
there. Addresses of welcome were de
livered by Mayor D. L. rlenderson and
T. A. Atkins, I. D. Smith and O. B.
Perry. All the stores and banks of the
town were closed. The train arrived tn
Ashburn at 1 o’clock. A reception com
mittee met it and conducted the working
staff to a complimentary luncheon at the
Clyde hotel. Here, in a new county,
great educational interest was found. A
policy of consolidation of the small
schools into big ones was noted, the pu
pils being brought to t »i the Ashburn
schools, and taken home, each day in au
tomobiles. An active chamber of com-
BUFF ORPINGTRN HEN
WS MAMMOTH EGG
Weighs Quarter of Pound.
Eight by Six Inches in
Circumference
The biggest shell game on record was
exhibited in the office of The Journal
Saturday night when Dr. H. E. Truax
arrived on the scene with a real live
hen egg, eight inches in circumference
measured lengthwise, and six inches in
circumference measured around the cen
ter. The egg itself weighs 1-4 of a
pound and looks big enough to choke an
ox.
In other words, the hen that laid the
golden egg looks like a Luckie street
surface car in comparison with "Biddy,”
the faithful Buff Orpington hen of
which Dr. Truax is the proud possessor.
According to Dn Truax, "Biddy” an
swers the roll call every other day with
one of her mammoth eggs, all of which
will average In the neighborhood of 7
inches In circumference.
"Biddy” is a Buff Orpington hen of
the buxom blythe and debonair type.
With all her feathers on she weighs be
tween 7 and 8 pounds, and according to
the latest methods of addition, subtrac
tion and division it will be seen that if
her eggs were saved for two months the
total number at the end of that time
would weigh as much as she does, and
that’s gqing some.
The large eggs that "Biddy” lays are
considered to be one of the greatest
freaks of nature on record in this part
of the country and so far as is known
no other hen in the history of poultry
dom has equaled, much less surpassed,
the shell game record established by
“Biddy.”
The eggs are unusually fine for eating
purposes and one of them furnishes, by
itself, a square meal at the breakfast
hour. While no tests nave been made
of the fertility of the eggs, it is not
thought that they will hatch on account
of the fact that they contain two yolks,
merce was also noted, and the county s
good roads were considered worthy of
comment. In Sparks, at 5 o’clock, 1,000
people met the special, with the mem
bers of council as a reception commit
tee.
BY T. H. McXATTON.
WELLSTON, Ga., March 2.—Wednesday
evening R. F. Duckworth, editor of the
Farmers’ Union News, rejoined the train.
J. E. Darby, the machinery expert, also
returned to take charge of the machinery
car. i
The following gentlemen of the Georgia,
Southern and Florida railroad were also
on the sleeper when it left Macon this
morning: Lauren Foreman, John M. Cut
ler, general freight agent; F. H. Hum
phreys, commercial agent, and O. J. Ste
phens, indusrial agent. G. H. Long, man
aging editor of the Macon Telegraph,
was also aboard.
At 8:30 o’clock the 800 citizens of Hous
ton county assembled at Wellston were
rewarded by the arrival of the train.
The introductory remarks were made by
Prof. T. N. Murry, the principal of the
school of Wellston. Following him.
President Soule made a few announce
ments and made an address upon the edu
cational movement in agriculture.
Speeches were made by other members
of the train staff, and the inspection of
the exhibits followed immediately. On
account of being late in leaving Macon,
it was impossible to give Wellston as
long a stop as had been previously plan
ned and many of the citizens expressed
regret at the faet that a careful inspec
tion of the train was impossible. This
level and fertile section of the state
offers many opportunities for intensive
and diversified agriculture and many
recognized the fact that the model farm
could be well laid out In their neigh
borhood and wished to give it careful
consideration, but on account of the
crowd and the short time available were
prevented from doing so.
Among the prominent farmers on hand
to welcome the train were W. C. Watson,
J. T. Miller, T. W. Leverett, C. B. Well
born, W. C. Lewis, C. B. Watson, S. H.
Lewis, R. L. Marshall, C. L. Holland,
J. T. B. Scarborough, T. T. Watson, M
I. Jones, J. W. Johnson, J. M. Frasier,
W. H. Glausier, G. M. Renfroe, W. L.
Lewis and T. E. Watson. After 45
minutes of profitable work, the moving
school started for Its next stop.
For the next few days the' organization
of the boys’ corn club will be In the
hands of State School Commissioner M.
T. Brittain, who Is relieving Prof. J. Phil
Campbell, who was called to the college
in Athens for a short time. A great
deal of interest is being taken In the or
ganization of these clubs as all recog
nize the necessity of teaching the up
coming generation the fundamental prin
ciples of living at home. For too long
our systems of teaching have neglected
the things of everyday life; and now
that the state and government are fos
tering a movement for Instruction In
agriculture that not only Instructs, but
makes a profit as well, it Is good to see
the interest that is taken in it by the
parents as well as the boys.
ASHBURN. Ga., March 3.—The en
tertainment committee of the Ashburn
Chamber of Commerce, composed of the
following gentlemen. J. B. Hutchinson,
chairman; J. B. Bozeman, R- L. Betts,
W. L. Story G. C. McKenzie, W. A.
Shlngler, J S. Shingler, W. A. Murray,
C.-H Bailey and Mayor J S. Betts, met
the college on wheels as it arrived in
Ashburn at 1 o’clock Thursday after
noon, and Immediately took the staff of
the train to an elegant dinner which was
served in the dining room of the Clyde
hotel
Directly after dinner a crowd of over
three thousand people gathered around
the train. Knowing that the time was
short, those in charge of the program
dispensed with all introductory remarks,
and immediately the speakers with the
train began to talk better farming to
the citizens of Turner county.
BY W, T. WATEBS. JB.
EATONTON. Ga., March I.—One o_f the
blgest stops of the whole tour was made
here this morning at n o’clock, when
the educational train arrived from
Milledgeville. That 5,000 people met the
train here, with grown folks far in the
majority and with farmers predominat
ing aqwng them|, would by no means be
overstating the matter. It was palpable
that a county-wide sentiment throughout
Putnam had been stirred in indorsement
of the train, and that It had affected
the farmers of contiguous counties. For
days the coming of the train had
anticipated. And when it did get here,
it found the stores and banks closed,
everything shut down, and everybody at
the depot. The crowd was another of
those that have been too big for the
special’s limited time and accommoda
tions. It overwhelmed the train.
Dinners at the hotel had been planned
for the train party by the cordial hosts
at Eatonton, and arrangements had
been made to throw the homes of the
city open to the travelers during their
brief stay. But these plans had to be
cancelled, though reluctantly, when the
bustle and dispatch of the train’s work
was made evident. The spirit of the
welcome, however, remained, and perme
ated every moment of the stay .here.
J. R. Tweedy, the mayor, welcomed the
train on behalf of the city, in an elo
quent and brief speech. Roy D. Stubbs,
representative from Putnam* and the

TOOMSBORO GIVES Hill
. TO EDUCATIBNH TffllN
Special Find Big Welcome at
Second Stop hi Wilkinson;
County, Saturday
BY BOGEBS WIKTES.
TOOMSBORO, Ga., March 4.—The edu
cational train reached thia place, 15
miles below Gordon, and also in Wilkin
son county, a little before 11 o’clock
Saturday morning, and -was given a
rousing reception by more than five hun
dred people, nearly half of whom were
farmers. As many as could find room
climbed to the top of a freight car
standing opposite the platform car of the
speakers and leaned forward with eager
interest to catch every word.
The chickens and the hogs caught the
fanners’ attention especially. They ship
more poultry, eggs and pork from this
town than from any of its size on this
division of the Central railroad. Most
of the farmers have quit letting their
hogs run wild and feeding them care
fully. They have learned that it is
wasteful to let the hogs have a whole
range in which to shift for themselves.
Next to chickens and hogs, soil talk
came next in Interest. A few miles be
low here a stock company hae bought
2,000 acres of wild bottom land and is
spending more than a quarter of a pil
lion dollars building levees. Half of it
is ready for cultivation this year.
D. G. Mann, principal of the school,
made the welcome address. He had ad
journed school, and all the pupils went
through the exhibit cars. The crowd
was thoroughly representative from the
big land owners down to the small far
mers.
youngest member of the house, extended
the county’s welcome, singing praises
on the train’s purpose and eulogizing the
county for whose interests he stands. B.
W. xlunt, vice president of the Geor
gia Bankers’ association and live stock
editor of The Journal several years ago,
wap the third and last speaker. Mr.
Hunt’s speech, like those before it, was
a magnificent exposition of the vital
truths which the train is preaching, as
well as a flattering expression of cor
diality. State Senator George W. Adams
was another one of the welcoming com
mittee, but did not speak, the time of
the train’s stay bqing shorter, and the
crowd being bigger than usual.
DISCUSSES MULE BREEDING.
Mr. Hunt nailed down an argument for
the breeding of mules in Georgia with
these concluding words: “For years
Georgia has spent half of the net pro
ceeds of the cotton crop for mules to
make that crop with. No other section
could have stood such a strain.” He
said that for 30 years he has stood like
a prophet in the wilderness, urging the
Georgia farmer to breed live stock, and
he called on the lecturers to uphold his
hands in that doctrine. He begged his
audience to hear from the lips of author
ity the tale of the incredible damage
that the cattle tick does In Georgia
each year, estimated at 86,500,000. Putnam
county is a leader in its eradication. He
conclude! by calling the visitors' at
tention to the fact that they had come
to the birthplace of Georgia’s greatest
man of letters, Joel Chandler Harris, the
Uncle Remus of childhood, whose name
is praised throughout the world.
Every school in the county was sus
pended for the day, by order of County
School Commissioner W. C. Wright, who
visited the train at the head lof repre
sentatives from each school. •
Dennis Nesbitt, principal of the Eaton
ton school, and his asistants and 400 pu
pils, also helped to swell the big crowd.
BOYS' AND GIRLS’ CLUB.
The Boys’ and Girls’ Corn club work
is organized in Putnam county to a very
creditable degree. A St. Ixiuis philan
thropist, it is understood, has lent valu
able assistance, and it is due largely to
his belief in the resources of the county
that Mrs. Ira Thompson is here, directing
the work of organization. The reputed
fact that School Commisisoner Wright
is one of the livest school heads in the
state, is also credited in large measure
with the success attained here. In addi
tion to <the work among the young folks,
250 farmers of the county have been or
ganized into a club of their own. Pro
fessor Campbell declares that if sufficient
demand is made for the concession, the
United States department of agriculture
will send an expert in canning to Put
nam county this summer, as it will send
one to Baldwin county, equipped with a
canning outfit and all, to teach the girls
how to can fruits and vegetables /or the
home market.
E. C. Newsom, Jr., a farmer living on
R. F. D. No. 2, brought a curiosity to the
train, in what looked like a petrified sec
tion of tree root. He said the natives of
Putnam county call it Indian bread, be
cause the Indians used to eat it. It was
classified by the scientists aboard the
train, as cassava, a plant of the manioca
family indigenous to tropical America
