CANNING CLUB
STIRS INTEREST
ENTHUSIASM MARKS WORK BE
ING DONE THIS YEAR—GOOD RE
SULTS IN PROSPECT.
There are this year enrolled in the
boys corn club work in Crisp county
co-operating with nature on a better
gcale than is commonly practiced in
order to get better results.
These boys are mixing the labor
of their hands with the labor of their
theads. They are learning that farm
ing is a great, complicated, complex
Ibusinesns, requiring for the greatest
guccess the keenest thought and the
most diligent study.
In order to increase the efliciency
of this work County Agricultural
Agent Johnson has thought it wise and
lias succeeded in measuring every
boy's club acre. This gives the boy
a greater appreciation of his work
and gives him the required amount
of land, no more and no less. Many
of these hoys are growing a high type
of prolific corn and will do field se
ection of their seed corn in order to
_:fipmve and keep the strain pure.
“* There will be given several nice ma
terial prizes for the completion of their
¢club work. There are at present for
those who use pluck an “stickability”
two or three scholarships to the boys;
:éhort course at the state College of
.}griculture. two nice pure-bred pigs
to be used in a Pig Club next year,
:@hree or four farm implements and sev
seral dollars in money to be divided ac
gording to merit.
« But after all the mission of the boys
elub work is not merely the making
of a hundred or more bushels of corn
to the acre, but rather the instilla
.Ԥon of knowledge, ideas, and habits
sof thought that will produce a better
‘farmer and a better citizen.

REFRIGERATOR CAR
SHORTAGE SERICUS
Washington, D. C., May 3.—The se
rious car shortage throughout the coun
try is beginning to be felt by shippers
and distributors of early fruits and
vegetables. In the various conferences
between the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, railroad officials, and ship
pers, the later have been represented,
for the most part, by shippers of non
perishable commodities.
A southern road confronted with an
extraordinary tonnage of perishable
commodities, finds, at the opening of
the season, nearly half its refrigerator
equipment on other lines, and is un
able to get the cars home. This is
{vpical of other sections, am.i there is
great danger that the interests of us
cre of refrigerator cars may be sacri
fced to the necessities of other ship
pers.
Zinc production of the United States
during 1915 amounted to 560,000 tons.
