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 more, Jasper Henderson, J. Frank Walk er, J. L. Kelly, J. D. Voss. A. H. Ste phens, I. W. Edwards, Wiley Smith, Joshua Dozier, B. T. Layton, Zack Brantley, B. S. Boatwright, .T. £. Daniel, A. W. J. Wood, Ernest Wood, John E. Smith. W. B. Stephens. Jcho qfaiWand C. B.

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 The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per- Sj?

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.

The fanners of Rockdale county have been invited in from far and near. Conyers is the boy hood home of Roy B. Elliott, the Pull man company’s representative al>oard the agricultural party’s special car, and many of Mr. Elliott’s old acquaintances feel therefore a personal as well as a community interest in the coming of the train.
