NEW TWELFTH WANTS
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
Atlanta, Feb. 3. —At its ses
sion this summer the Legislature
will be asked to make provision
for the establishment of an agri
cultural college or school in the
new Twelfth congressional dis
trict.
When these agricultural schools
were originally established, one
was created for each congres- 1
sional district. There are now
eleven of them in the state. The!
law failed to take into account!
probable increase in the number
of congressional districts, and
when Georgia was given a new
congressman as the result of the
1910 census, there were not
enough agricultural schools to go
round.
The new Twelfth district,
which is composed of Houston,
Twiggs, Laurens, John
son, Emanuel, Toombs, Mont
gomery, Dodge, Wilcox, Telfair
and Pulaski counties, failed to
secure one of these agricultural
schools when the reapportion
tnent of the congressional dis
tricts was made. The Legislat
ure thought it saw away out of
the trouble by declaring the old
congressional districts agricul
tural districts, and ignoring the
new district lines; but this is not
going to satisfy the Twelfth.
M< ruber 1 of the Legislature
from the counties in the new
Twelfth will bring up the matter
this summer, and endeavor to
get an agricultural school estab
lished there. Some county in
the district will have to furnish
the necessary land and the mon
ey to put up the school dormitor
ies and buildings, and the state
will be called on to.contribute to
its support. This is done in the
lease of the present schools, from
the funds arising from the in
ispection of oils and fertilizers.
I If these funds are increased as a
j result of the recent legislative
probe of the state Department of
Agriculture, as is now predicted,
the Twelfth may have some
chance to get one of these schools.
Prigden Beasley of Bulloch
county will celebrate his birth
day on the 29th, making 25 birth
days he has had, though he will
ibe 10t> years old. His birthday
! falling on the 29th he has only
seen it come round 25 times.
