I conducted rather numerously in the
eastern and New England as well as
i in some other states last year, as one
of the methods of meeting the farm-
, labor shortage caused by the war.
I “jwhoy was working so eagerly, so
( earnestly—although ope could clearly bor shortage; boys from sixteen to
see has was very tired—that a visitor’s twenty-one want to do something;
. .*** aroused, and he asked with a little training these; husky boys
big brother. He's gone to war. I’m
not working as hard as he is. But
I'm doing all I can—and I’m doing
this to back him up, see?”
The boy who goes to work on
farm because it gives him such a con
sciousness will make good. And most
of the boys in the camps last year had
precisely that spirit. The majority
of them were fairly aflame with
zeal that was aptly expressed by the
chap who was "backing up his big
brother.’’
This spirit was the greatest factor
in tbo success of tho boys’ farm train'
g camps last year and the same
spirit will continue to be the greatest
factor in their success this year.
; There were some failures last year.
There will be some more thi# year.
But the experience of the flret farm
training camps shows that these boys
will assist materially in providing a
'supply of emergency farm help for
^he section where they are located and
thus make possible the saving of crops
that otherwise might have been lost.
Numerous Camps Last Year.
These training camps sprang up in
in various parts of the country after
our entrance into the war last year.
The same idea seemed to suggest it
self simultaneously to many people in
different states—"there is a farm-la-
| the lad. why. ho waa.iir such a rush.
' "Well, mister," answered the youth
, very solemnly. "I’m backing up my

can do • lot; let’s get up a farm train
ing camp.” Some were county or
community affairs some were orga
nized and administered by states. In
the eastern and New England states,
the camps were most numerous, be-
catura the farm-labor shortage was
more acute in these sections then else
where—the munitions plants and fac
tories producing war materials hav
ing atracted, by high wages, many
workers from the farms.’ •
Most of the camps were, in effect,
a sort df stepping stone from tfie.high
school or town home to crop production
war work on the farm—a combination
of recruiting office, training school
labor agency and military camp.
Instead of going straight from the
school or home to the farm, raw and
untrained, the boy went to the camp.
There, for ten days or two weeks, he
was put through the “A, B C’e” of
actual, practical every-day farming—
taught how to hoe, how to halter
bridle, harness a teem how to drive,
and so on. Then he went to work
on some farm in the county where help
wss needed. He was still more or
lese green, of course, for no one could
be expected to pick up all the points
oft a good farm hand in a week or two.
But the training had carried him to e
point where, with a little patience end
further instruction from the fanner,
he would become e really effective
firm hand.
Where it was possible last year the
boys continued to live et the central
camps even after they went to work
in farms. Sometimes community
camps were established, Where for
instance, ten or twelve boys would
live, working in groups of two* or
threes on farms in that immediate
Sicinity. All oampa had supervisors
Usually. Y. M. C. A. or boy scout iead-
ers, or jome one well qualified for
handling boys; and, whether the boys
were living in camps or on the farms
where they worked, the object of the
supervisors was to see that all the
surroundings were conducive to health
and to the right kind of character de
velopment.
Training in Camps Necessary.
There were some camps last year
where the training feature was not
given much emphasis—-the "training"
being the actual farm work itself af
ter the boy was employed by a farm
er, and the camp serving merely as p
mobilization center a place to live un
der desirable conditions, the head
quarters from Which the farmer could
get help. Camps of this kind, how.
ever, were in the minority last year
hnd according to indications there
will be very few of them this year
It seems to be rather generally recog
nized that one of the fundamental es
sentials to the success of the idea
of ulitizing boy help on the farm ir
that the boys be put through some
process of practical farm training-
even if it is brief—so they will not
be “too green” when they take their
places in the fields.
In order to be of real assistance
the boys have to leave school early
in the spring. Most schools from
which boys went to farm camps last
year arranged to give full class cred
its to the absentees. The objection
may be made that no mater what
rreditb are arbitrarily entered, the
boys do not actually learn the les
sons taught while they are absent
The answer made by some school au
thorities last year was that the
youngster learned broader lessons of
life acquired in their form experience
knowledge of more value in forming
the foundation for the future man—
which is all any class room can hope
to do—than they could have found in
books or lectures or “exams” during'
that period.
In some states lost year the boys’
farm camp movement was carried out
by the Boys’ Working 'Reserve a war
emergency activity of the United
State* Department of Labor, and in
certain other states the local boys’
camp movement became affiliated later
with the boys’ working reserve. The
reserve now has directorc in every
state and is preparing for its greatest
drive this spring. Its object in a nut
shell, is to enroll and have available
for mobilization as they are needed
in agricultural or industrial activities

Actuated by An Ideal.
Studying last year’s boys’ training
camp results, one finds that here were
some communities where the boy
workers did not meet with the ap
proval of the farmers whose needs
they sought to supply. However
these were few compered with the
number of camps that did succeed in
supplying farmers with satisfactory
emergency labor. This doesn't mess
that'even the best of tho camps pro
duced boys who were ae desirable to
the farmer as grown men of farm ex
perience would have been. But It
does mean that tho camps turned out
boys who did the work—more slowly
than the veteran farm labor, and per
haps -with considerable clumsiness at
first—but they did it. The crops
were saved on the farms where they
worked, end that’s the main thing.
Oh, yeat—“just kldil”—that’s true.
But they had, and will continue to
have, an ideal—these boys who ore
working on the farms to produce war
crops. And ideals work wonders—
and win war* These "kids” know
what they're doing.
They’re backing up their big broth

DIES AFTSR SERVING
14 YEARS OF LIFE
SENTENCE
R. L. Smith (Bob) Dropped
Dead of Heart Failure at
County Chaingang This
Morning.
After serving fourteen years of a
life sentence in the Clarke county
chaingang, R. L. Smith, known as
Bob, both in this county and his home
county, Carroll, where he murdered
his wife, dropped dead this morning
at the county camp near the Sims’
place, on the Bogart road, about two
miles from Athens.
The well known prisoner had gotten
up and attended to some of his early
morning duties, after which about
breakfast time he was sitting down
smoking his pipe, when he suddenly
died of heart failure.
Smith entered the chaingdng at
the age of twenty-two and as he serv
ed a total of fourteen years, he was
thirty-six years of age at his death
today. He was a prisoner that no
body could help but like. He was a
trusty and his duties were to do farm
work for the county. At no time did
he give authorities dny trouble; he
told them that they need not fear
that he would run away. Bob believ
ed in neatness around the camp and
the fact that best part of his life had
to be spent in prison seemed to grieve
him. It made him' mad to be ques-
tioned concerning his age, etc., by
strangers visiting the camp.
A short time ago an effort was
made to get a pardon for Smith, bas-
ed on his record in prison and the
length of time he had, served. How
ever, on investigation, the people in
his home county were still incensed
over the crime he hud committed and
were not in favor of a pardon for the
prisoner.
This morning shortly after his
death, Warden Long was looking
about Mr. Smith’s cot and found a
kit filled with a number of trinkets,
a blood stained ribbon and a lady’s
undervest—thus showing that in his
nature there must have been 1 a deal
of sentiment. There aws also found
*6.79 in money.
Bob Smith was buried today at the
county farm, receiving an unusual
burial for a prisoner. There were ap-
propriate ceremonies, with Rqy. Geo.
Stone, county chaplain, in charge.
