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.

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. • so impressively— I/>se just a bit of their "brail If we can just realize these wo idealize Once were exceedingly small!

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.
