Thousands of Mexican working men and women
have pledged themselves not to buy any more pro
ducts from the United States until ouf government
releases “the 61 men still held in prison for refus*.
ing to support the World War. They will ho longer
go to see moving pictures frofn the United States,
will refrain from wearing clothing made in that
country, and will cat nothing that is. prepared
there.” ... So report* Defense News Service. The
net result of this will be a lot of discomfort for the.
boycotting 1 Mexicans, a pleasing gratification of their
vanity, but their boycott will have no effect what
ever on the fate of the 61 prisoners. * It is -a. fine
thing to have Ideals and to Jive up to them. But
too many, of us, emotionally intoxicated by "ideals,”
waste time and effort on futile doinga. Better to con

GEORGIA’S FUTURE PROSPERITY
LIES IN ITS AGRICULTURE
Augusta’s growth has happily been about equally
— balanced between the industrial development in the
city and as a market center for a rich agricultural
section in nearby trade territory. There are great
possibilities for growth and expansion in both di-
* factions in the near future.
For the present until Augusta Can develop or re-
. ceive more electric power, naturally its industrial •
growth will be hampered. On the other hand
there is practically no limit to the growth and pros
perity that will come to the farms in this section,
with an improved and diversified agriculture.
Here are some of the encouraging signs for the
future of agriculture in this section.
During 1922 agricultural pupils in the High
Schools, of Georgia produced products under the
supervision of the Smith-Hughes teachers to the
amount of Sl'30,322. In 1920 the amount was $35,-
000. In 1921 the amount was $88,417. This steady
increase is gratifying.
The real importance of those figures is shown in
the fact that if the farmers of the state as a whole
has equalled the production of these High School Ag
ricultural pupils, t4ie> A would have raised 593 pounds
of cotton per acre instead of 300 pounds and 25 bush
els of corn per acre instead of 12 bushels, and ap
proximately the same ratio with other crops. It is
also interesting to note that the higher yields of the
agricultural students is due not to the excessive UBe
of commercial fertilizers but to Pure Bred Seed and
the best possible cultural methods.
Translating the above figures in dollars for the
state as a whole, we find that if the average farmer
in Georgia had made as much corn per acre as the
average student, the corn crop of Georgia would
have been worth $90,506,000 instead of $45,253,-
000. Jjad the average farmer in Georgia made as
much cotton per acre as the average vocational ag
ricultural student, the cotton crop for Georgia would
have been worth more than $203,376,000 instead of
$101,188,000. The additional money from these two
crops alone would have made Georgia one of the
most prosperous states in the South.'
Vocational Agriculture for every boy in' Georgia
that wants this type of education, will make for a
rich and prosperous state.
It is an interesting fact to note that the 1920 cen
sus shows that there is only one state in the United
States—Texas—that has a larger farm population
than Georgia. Since this M;ate has a larger city de-
• velopment than Georgia, it would seem that the
prosperity of our agriculture is more essential to our
progress than for any state in the union.
There are 'numerous instances o*f states having
been made prosperoous by the prosperity, of their
agricultural population. In a recent address Super
intendent-elect L. J. Itallard pointed out Minnesota
and Wisconsin as notable examples of this fact.
Georgia’s future growth and prosperity lies in the
development of its agriculture and this fact is * be
coming more and more recognized.
While agriculture was not taught'as q regular
high school subject until five years ago when the
State Board fdF Vocational Education was organized,
rapid progress has been made since that time. The
, educators of the state have enthusiastically accept-
ed the obligation to give some vocational training to
their pupils, and have recognized the fact that agri-
, culture most nearly meets the vocational needs of the
| . - boys in our rural schools.
Through funds available by the Federal Govern-
_ ment and the State, it has been possible for the State
r™ Board,to materially assist schools in carrying the ex-
fjjJS - — pense of this institution.
The limiting factor in the development of the work
is tlft lack of funds. The increase in funds for the
coming year will not permit the establishment ot
.•} more than ten new schools. Already more than twice
as many applications are on file as can be approved
for the coming year.
- The federal money available for this work will in
crease as follows:
Year 1923
Amount $73,807.30
1924 1925 -' *1926
$84,351.20 $105,438.99 $126,626.70
*1926—and annually thereafter. •

years, from Florida to Athena.. Ho
says it takas something more thnn

ple under boll weevil condition*,
and. formers need noe jiug the
hallucination to their boaoma that
they ran make a crop or cotton by

Mr. Cofer says to successfully grow

prepare tho round; plant an early
variety of good seed amt then keep
at work lute und early. You mus:
know how to cultivate cotton nnd
keep ground attired, He has seen
good crops of cotton grown with
out a particle of poison, by proper
cultivation of tho land. This Is
equally as Important us poison.
In speak of seed. Mr. Cofer sal)
the farmers in this section should
grow their own seed and not import
them as they are doing. We can
