Vocational Agriculture Department One
of Hartwell School’s Leading Features
By L. E. HEMRICK
The Hartwell High School, in of
fering a course in agriculture, hopes
to give to the farm boys who come
to our school a course of study, the
subject matter of which can be'made
to function in the home life of the
boy from the very first day. We be
lieve and practice the theory that
learning by doing is the quickest,
most interesting and satisfactory way
of obtaining knowledge.
Facts are worth while only as their
significance is appreciated. ' It is one
thing to have a pupil memorize a list
of points relative to a good milk cow
and quite another to have the boy
see and study a good cow. The boys
of the Hartwell team did a big thing
when they won the State champion
ship for judging dairy cattle. Had
they not had an opportunity to study
good cows at Clemson College, Ware
Shoals and at the Georgia State Col
lege, such an achievement would
have been impossible. We make an
honest effort to bring each boy face
to face with the common farm prob
lems that he in the future will have
to meet. We give him supervised
practice as well as minute training in
the different kinds of work done on
the farm.
At present we are only a little bet
ter equipped for teaching the various
phases of work that go to make up
vocational agriculture than the other
schools in the county. But with the
new equipment we shall buy this
fall, and with more room we shall
have when the basement is properly
fixed, the Hartwell High School will
have the best equipped department
of Vocational Agriculture in the
State of Georgia.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., AUGUST 15, 1924
Georgia Railway & Power Co.
Making Marvelous Strides In
Developing State's Resources
The attention of our readers this
week is called especially to the page
advertisement by the Georgia Rail
way & Power Co., in which are
shown a few views of the tremen
dous projects already completed in
the mountains north of Hartwell,
and some figures given that give only
a vague idea of the magnitude of
this company’s work in developing
Georgia’s resources.
The Georgia Railway & Power
Co. is perhaps the largest tax payer
in Georgia; therefore, they pay more
into the upkeep of our schools than
any other enterprise. They are in
terested in every school —interested
in the Hartwell and Hart county
schools.
They are spending millions of dol
lars almost within sight of the upper
edge of Hart county; a visit to their
projects on the Tugalo and Tallulah
rivers will be well worth anyone’s
time.

Remarks
During the eighteen days, July 10
to July 28, the weather has been fav
orable for the cultivation and
growth of the cotton plant ih about
60 per cent of the cotton producing
area. In the remaining 40 per cent
the unfavorable conditions are due
entirely to too dry weather and too
hot. Only a few scattered sections
of North and South Carolina com
plain of the weather being too wet.
In over two-thirds of Texas the ef
fects of the long dry spell is begin
ning to affect conditions, especially
so of the eastern portion. Other
sections have not yet been seriously
affected, but unless general rains fail
in the next ten days the now very
favorable prospects for a good yield
will be materially reduced.
Wheat: Movement of winter
wheat from the country to terminal
markets has become extremely heavy
and the visible supply has started to
increase, a condition that is likely to
prevail for many months. There is
a decided tendency to increase esti
mates on the yield, both of winter
and spring and expectations are now
that final returns will show an ag
gregate of 800 million to 852 million
bushels compared with 786 million
bushels harvested last year. The
Canadian crop is estimate at 250
million to 265 million bushels com
pared with 475 million bushels in
1923. The size of the domestic
wheat crop will have but little bear-
——————.. !i | l ii, | !ag
ing on the world’s price as apparei
ly exporting countries will hard
have sufficient grain for importii
countries needs unless both Arge
tine and Australia come through wi
summer crops.
Corn: Hot weather with plem
of moisture has caused the ne
crop to make rapid growth duri<
the past week and while bullish sei
timent is still strongly in eviden<
the general outlook is somewhi
more favorable. The price seen
rather high, but the date of fir;
killing frost alone will determine th
size of the crop this year and as lon
as there is a general belief that th
yield will be short it will take ii
creased pressure to maintain break:
Oats: The new crop promises t
be 1,400,000,000 bushels or more i
the final returns. Compared wit
1,300,000,000 harvest in 1923. Th
after-harvest movement is gettin,
under way and hedging pressure i
increasing. With the outlook so
the corn crop in doubt, there wil
probably be heavy farm consump
tion.
