Back Taxes Go To Augusta.
j Upon the grounds that the princi¬
pal offices of the Geoigia Railroad
! Company are located in Augusta, the
state supreme court has decided that
i Richmond county and the city of Au
; gusta alone are entitled to the award
of back taxes on the 15,000 Bharcs
of stock of the Western of Alabama
. railroad, which are owned oy the Geor¬

| The decision declines to allow a pro
i rata division of the award among
Greene county and the other counties
and cities which contended for a
proportionate share because the Geoi
gia railroad was operated throug:
; their counties ana cities.
Trie decision, which is a far-reach¬

The Corn and Cotton Contest.
One of the attractive ieatures of the
stale fair ,vill be the corn and cotton
contest by school boys. The fair has
offered $5<i() in prizes for the best ten
cars of torn and the best five stalks of
cotton grown by a school hoy on a
sixteenth of an acre. There will be
ten prizes for corn and ten for cotton,
the hist prize in each being $75. The
contest was inaugurated by the State
university to encourage the study of
these two important crops of the state
hv the boys, and through them to en¬
list tne study of the same by the par¬
ents.
The county school commissioners in
a number of counties have co-operated
in this important study and they have
sent me over 8u0 names of boys who
have entered the contest.
The local contests will be held the
first week in October, so that the ex¬
hibits may be then shipped to At¬
lanta to contest lor the state prizes.
lVf want pictures of all the prize win
n ers and of their county exhibits to go
In our npxt bulletin for 1907, twenty
thousand copies o? which we expect to
issue and distribute to the schools and
farmers' clubs of the state. Next year
we want 3,000 boys to enter the con¬
tests.
We must get back of the strong,
manly, courageous country boy and
give him the best thought relating to
the farm and let him catch the in
spiration coming from intelligent farm¬
ing.
Agriculture has taken its rightful
place among the studies of schools and
colleges and the entire farming class
will be uplifted. The boys’ corn and
cotton contest? will be a potent influ¬
ence in this development.—J. S.
