Annual Report School Superin¬
tendent, Spring Terra 1917.
In compliance with the law, I
hereby submit the following re
port of school operations of 1916.
In 1916 there were in operation
50 white schools with an enroll¬
ment of 2,828, and an average at
t indance of 1,638, an increase of
both enrollment and attendance,
both being larger that: any pre¬
vious year. 23 male and 40 female
teachers were employed in these
schools. The Board cf Education
owns 44 school buildings valued at
V 13,500, most of which are in rea¬
sonably good condition and com¬
fortably seated—quite a number or
new desks have been put it this
year. The other school property
is valued at $8,100, n total value
of school pioperty of $21,600. Two
schools were established this year:
Shady Grove in Coosawattee Dis
trief, and Alpine in Ball Ground
District. The j patrons are build¬
ing a neat school house at the last
named place, and expect to have it
ceiled aud painted this year.
The school iiind not being avail
ible until late in the year, Eng Hi¬
rer (he schools were cU sed, in or¬
der to pay our leaehers when salar¬
ies were earned, 1 was authorized
by Resolutions of tlm-County Boar^
of Edu ation to discount at. 8 1^
per cent, with the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, the warrants of
the Governor of the State of Geor¬
gia, executed and issued to the
Superintendent of this county, pur¬
suant to an Act approved August
13th, 1915 These warrants were
discounted on the first of each
month and were made payable Feb.
J, 1917, and were ptfid when the
State fund became available.
I want to call the attention of
yur Honorable body to the fact
that all our schools were taught
the fail term, which gives to each
cliiiil the benefit of his pro rata
g lnre of the public school money.
This i - evidence that there ir more
interest felt in our schools than
heretofore, because only a few
y-ars ago quite a number of our
schools closed with unfinished terms
on account of too low an average
and various oilier reasons. As
everyone ku .W8, iur school term is
much to" short, mid this together
with ihe small salary, sent in 19f6
more than forty of our teachers to
counties which provide a longer
term and better salary. This stale
of affairs is bound to continue and
many of onr best prepared and
most desirable teachers wiil seek
mployment elsewhere until w«
have more money with which to
conduct our schools, and it should
be a matter of grave concern to
everv citizeu and patron to help
devise soni- plan by which may
obtain sufficient funds to lengthen
our term of school
I'eaclmrs’ Institute:
The Combined Teachers’ Insti¬
tute held at Ellijay, July 8 14 was
conducted by Miss Parrishjand Mr,
Duggan, two oTour State Sup r
visors. The co- -perating counties
of Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin
were well represented. There were
present also a number of teachers
from other neighboring counties.
Over 200 teachers wero in attend¬
ance and^were under the supervis¬
ion of an able corps of' instructors.
This was our first combined Insti¬
tute; everyone was enthusiastic and
all pronounced it a grand success.
Boys’ Corn Club.
This year 22 of the 57 boys en¬
rolled in the county, handed in re¬
ports. The avera e number of
bushels per acre was 56 with an
average cost of 27 cents per bushel,
which at llm pre.-e:u pree i.etteo
more than $96 per acre, i be heavy
washing rains and the following
drouth made this a very poor crop
year, yet one boy made over 89
bushelft, and the whole average was
good considering these things.
The generosity of a number of our
good citizens which made it possi¬
ble to encourage these boys by giv¬
ing them each a small prize is ap¬
preciated by all who have tried to
make the Corn Club a success.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutioi al conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is tak’n internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroj-ing the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na¬
ture in doing its work. The proprie¬
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall’s Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

DETERMINING FACTORS
IN BEEF PRODUCTION
MuM Be Considered By Parmer Who
Expoote To Raise Or To Finlah
Beef Cattle
In order to make a fair margin
of profit the farmer, according to Dr.
Soule of the State College of Agricul¬
ture, should ascertain whether he hpa
on hand or can obtain at a reasonable
cost the type and class of cattle from,
which he may expect to make a pro¬
fit; he must either have or be will¬
ing to supply himself with such
equipment as is necessary; he must
take into consideration the question
of foodstuffs, both concentrates and
roughage; and finally ha must hare
a market where he can easily dispose
of his cattle after he has finished
them.
Animals with a blocky conforma¬
tion and those general character
isties which distinguish the beef type
may be depended upon, if properly
fed and handled, to make good gains
and a profit for the owner. Animals
with a dairy conformation have no
natural covering of flesh and, though
they may make fairly good gains,
much of the fat will be found around
the Intestines rather than In the re¬
gion of the most valuable cuts.
We are prone to believe that with
our mild climate shelters are not n*
cessary, but statistics show that in
the south 25 cattle out of every thou¬
sand die from exposure, while in the
northern states with their rigorous
winters only 3.6 cattle die to the
thousand. In Georgia last year $1,
045,000 worth of cattle were lost
through exposure and disease and the
total for the fifteen southern states
runs between 75 and 100 million dol¬
lars annually. There need not be
costly building but a cheap shelter
with a leanto root and open on the
south side can easily be provided.
Experienced feeders consider a silo
as almost absolutely necessary for
the economical feeding of lire stock
during the winter months. Land that
has ‘be*devoted”to formerly been oats'er planted a^mixtlTr# to cotten
of oats, crimson clover and vetch for
hay. Following this the ground should
produce a second crop, cowpea hay,
and the oat land may make the com
for the silo. Those who prefer may
itse sorghum or kafir corn for the silo
stead of field corriT There should
be an abundance of fame pastures,
ch as Bermuda, burr clover, and
ajton clover. . Where lime is widely
used, alfalfa can be grown success
fully In all parts of the south. It Is
needless to say that cotton seed meal
will be the main concentrate supple¬
mented with corn or oats, when
necessary.
In order to finish cattle with any
degree of satisfaction they should be
fed from 90 to ISO days. For the 1000
pound animal keep an abundance of
mixed hay in the feeding rack ai
ail times; feed daily 30 to 40 pounds
of silage, 4 to 6 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 5 to 7 pounds of shelled
00 m.
WINTER COVER CROPS
SWELL FRUIT RETURNS
Prevent Washing of Land and D»
crease Fertilizer Bill
One of the most Important prao
tices in orchard management is the
growing of a cover crop under the
trees during the winter. This cover
crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill
if winter growing legumes are used;
adds organic matter to the soil; and
prevents washing in our hilly sec¬
tions, says Prof. McHatton of the
Georgia State College.
If we can do so, It will be well to have
hairy vetch as part of this oover crop.
To go along with the vetch we should
have, either oats, rye or wheat. It
takes about a bushel of grain seed
and twenty pounds of hairy vetch to
sow an acre. Where used, the hairy
vetch seed should be inoculated. be¬
fore planting.
In North Georgia the cover crop
should be sown about the last of
September to the first of October. In
Central Georgia it should be sown by
the 15th of October. In South Geor¬
gia it may be sown as late as the
last of October or first of November.
Where orchards are on rolling land.
It is well to sow this cover crop with
an open-furrow drill. The open fur¬
rows not only protect the grain, but
are a great help in keeping the land
from washing until the young grain
can become well established. The
value of a cover crop in an orchard
cannot be estimated, as we have no
way of knowing the monetary value
of organic matter in the land. We
know, however, it greatly improves
the soil and'will help us to make a
crop of good fruit the following sea¬
son.
If the above mentioned seed cannot
be obtained for sowing the cover
crop, it would be a good- plan to sow
something under the trees,—turnips,
rape, or anything that will grow
through the winter, so that when
plowing time comes in the spring
there will be' something to turn
