Reed Creek School Boy Writes
About Trip to Georgia State
College of Agriculture.
On Tuesday morning, Jan. 27th
three “flivvers” loaded with boys
from the Vocational Agricultural
Classes at Reed Creek school in
cluding our Vocational Agricultural
Teacher left for Athens, Ga., where
we were to attend the Georgia State
College of Agriculture during Farm
ers Week.
After the usual accidents with
Fords we arrived at Camp Wilkins
on the campus of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture where we were
to put up for the week. Camp Wil
kins is a large and will when com
pleted be a very beautiful and per
manent camp built through the gen
erosity of a group of Athens and
other Georgia people for the benefit
of Georgia boys and girls who would
like to spend a short time during the
year at the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and where they may ob
tain a new inspiration in life as well
as to learn many things which are
helpful to them in later life as use-,
ful citizens in Georgia.
The heating system in the camp
was soon completed after our ar
rival and conditions were very pleas
ant considering the icy weather that
we were having at that time. While
here at the camp we met more than
two hundred other Vocational Agri
cultural High School boys from other
parts of the state. While mention
ing life at the camp I would like to
say that we had with us at the camp
during the noon hour every day while
there one or more of some of the
most noted men and speakers from
many parts of Georgia. The Athens
Rotary Club composed luncheon with
us one day and to hear those men
sing, talk and see them express so
much interest in the welfare of their
town, county and state was an in
spiration never to be forgotten by
we boys from the rural sections of
Georgia.
The talks by the various men at
the noonday occasions were more
than enough to pay any of we boys
for our trip. The advice of one of
the speakers, “to know, to do, and
to be somebody,” was well received
by the boys. None of the boys will
forget the words of Mr. Morton
Hodgsen when he made such an
eloquent and earnest plea for young
men who would make a serious ef
fort to make real men of themselves
and how that he quoted statistics to
show that practically all of the men
who gain distinction, are men who
have completed either a high school
or college education. Another speak
er traced the history of the develop
ment of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and its effort to serve

the state.
e saw many buildings used for
the various needs of a great Univer
sity and State College as well as a
very beautiful campus. The farm of
several hundred acres was a pleasing
sight. We learned that this very
productive and well cared for farm
was no longer back, than 1908, a
broom sage, washed away hillside. On
this farm we saw lots of fine pure
bred livestock of all kinds, a well
cared for orchard, experiment fields,
poultry plant, etc.
Since we have very little purebred
livestock in our community the main
purpose of our trip to the College
during Farmers Week was to put in
a week’s special study on livestock
judging, a topic that we could not
get succesfully in our own home com
munity. So practically all of the
time during the week was devoted
to a study of livestock judging. Here
we not only saw and studied some
very fine specimens of cattle and
hogs but also heard some of the most
noted livestock experts of ‘the state.
There were a number of noted
speakers on the Farmers Conference
Programs who mentioned facts and
made suggestions concerning the ag
riculture of Georgia that I wish every
Hart county farmer could have heard.
Especially was this true of the talk
made by Mr. C. A. Cobb, Editor of
the Southern Ruralist, in which he
compared the per acre production of
the various crops in Georgia with
that of the average in the United
States. As these figures were quoted
which showed that with some of our
more important crops Georgia was
producing very little more than half
as much per acre as that of the
average in the United States to say
nothing of that of the best states in
the United States, we realized the
seriousness of the situation in Geor
gia. Most every person who studies
the situation will agree with Mr.
Cobb in the statement that the Geor
gia farmer will never prosper as he
should as long as this situafion is
true. And most every one will agree
that the only way to remedy the con
dition is through a permanent soil
building program as was suggested
by Mr. Cobb and other speakers on
the programs. Mr. Hasty, a suc
cessful Georgia farmer, stated how
he had in a few years more than
doubled the yield of corn, cotton and
other crops on his farm through the
use of winter and summer legumes
such as vetches, clovers, soybeans,
etc.
In addition to “soil building” the
question of co-operative marketing
received much time and attention
during the conference. The public
at large is beginning to realize that
the Georgia farmers marketing pro
blems will have to be solved through
co-operative methods. The Danish
farmers learned this lesson many
years ago and are now the most
prosperous nation of farmers as a
whole of the entire world.
On Friday, Jan. 30th, a statewide
livestock judging contest was held
and in which between twenty and
thirty Vocational Schools of the state
took part. The Hartwell High
School which school won the contest
last year made a good showing again
and won second place while the La
vonia school won first place.
In addition to all of the above
events the boys all enjoyed the vari
ous basketball games played at night
between the visiting schools. These
games were all played in the magni
ficent Alumni Hall which was built
out of funds donated by graduates
and friends of the University of
Georgia from their War Memorial
Funds at which time more than
$1,000,000.00 was donated to the
University for buildings and other
improvements on condition that the
state legislature appropriate an equal
amount.
After a busy but pleasant week
we arrived back at Reed Creek with
a new inspiration and a greater de
termination to make good in life and
hopes of some day being able to re
ceive a degree from the Georgia
State College of
Member Vocational Agricultural
Class, Reed Creek School.

Good congregations were present
at all services Sunday, for which we
are grateful.
The pastor, Rev. J. IL Barton, de- |
livered a most timely and very force
ful sermon at the 11 o’clock hour
taking for his subject the import- |

Christians adopting the plan of God

sermon at the evening hour. His sub- |

cessful Life,” showing that after all, '
while the accumulation of property |
was commendable many times, the
truly successful life was in the stor- 1
ing up of spiritual resources. I
We are always glad to have visi- I
tors worship with us. |

Pine-Tar and Honey i
Still Best for Chest
Colds and Coughs [
Our mothers and grandmothers would .
never be without pine tar syrup in the
house for coughs, chest colds, etc. This 1
was many years ago, but modern rnedi- .
cine has never been able to improve on
this tune-tested remedy. Doctors say the pine I
tar is hard to beat for quickly loosening and
removing the phlegm and congestion that are |
the actual cause of the cough. At the same
time pine-tar and honey soon soothe and heal I
all irritation and soreness.
The kind that has been used with never fail- |
ing success in thousands of families for years
is that known as Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey. |
This is scientifically compounded of just the
right proportions of pine-tar. honey and other I
quick-acting, healing ingredients which the
best doctorshave found to aid in quick relief. I
It contains absolutely no opiates, narcotics or
harmful drugs, m can be given to young chii- I
dren-fine forspasmodic croup. It tastes good,
too. If you want thebest.amedicine that often I
stops the severest cough overnight, be sure
you get Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar Honey. It costs I
only 30c at any good druggists. ?

■
I
Special Taxes are due and payable January Ist, of each g
year, and when commencing to do business. The law re- ■
quires the tax payer before commencing to do business to
register his occupation or business with the Ordinary of
the County, before March Ist, and call upon me as Tax Col- B
lector, to pay such tax as he may be required to pay. There g
are about one hundred subjects taxed, and in fact there is ■
hardly a business that would dot be subject to pay a special ’
tax of some kind. I advise the special tax paying public to
call on me and secure such information as they may need, • g
which I will cheerully give. If this is done, no noe will say ■
afterwards, “If they had known about certain special taxes,
they would not have started business.” I mention below a
few of the subjects that are commonly taxed. They are as ■
follows: •
■
Automobiles, autos for hire, auctioneers, bicycles, bar- g
ber shops, cartridges and pistols, contractors, corporations, ■
cotton storage, coal dealers, junk dealers, live stock dealers,
laundries, musical instruments, oil wagons, playing cards,
pool tables, photographers, pressing clubs, restaurants or
lunch rooms, soda founts, slot machines, moving picture I
shows, theatres, undertakers.
