OF THE BOVS' CORN CLUB WORK
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Instead of a trip to Washington, the
United States Department of Agricul¬
ture will offer as its chief encourage
ment to the corn club winners
ships in agricultural institutions.
Greater knowledge of farming is bet¬
ter than a trip to Washington, and
even the distinction of shaking hands
with the President of the United
States.
At the last short course in agricul¬
ture held at the State College of Agri¬
culture, there were 106 corn club boys
to enroll. They remained at the Col¬
lege for ten days, took the course es¬
pecially provided for them and went
away better farmers than when they
came. Many of them acquired a
thirst for knowledge which will bring
TURNING UNDER JjNTER CUR CROPS
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy, Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Generally speaking rye, vetch and a
clover such as crimson or burr, is the
best winter cover crop for green
manuring. In Georgia it should be
turned under about the middle of
April. If it grows too long it pumps
too much moisture out of the soil,
leaving the land dry and lumpy when
it is broken.
Though Georgia soils are in great
need of vegetable matter, it is bet
ter for the growing season to follow',
that less vegetable matter be turned
under than too much moisture be re¬
moved by w aiting the full develop
ment of the rye. When turned under

A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. The weather
was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephone, called a dealer in
Columbia over Long Distance and so’d his hogs
at a good price. He then called the local freight
office and arranged for shipment.
The telephone is now a necessity on the farm.
You can have one on your farm at small cost.

them again to (he College to take the
long courses.
The Short Course for the boys is
planned to excite their interest, in¬
crease the information and give the
boys an inspiration and vision of
farm life that will make them love
it more and strive to be progressive
and successful farmers.
Any of the 106 boys who were pres¬
ent at the last short course will tell
you what a fine thing it has been for
them, how it proved both enjoyable
and profitable.
It is the popular thing to belong
to a boys’ corn club. Those who do
not join are "not in it" with the boys
who do. It is the opportunity of every
farmer boy in Georgia to join.
at the right time, the maximum of ef¬
ficiency of both soil and green manure
is obtained. Proper decay of vegeta
ble matter takes place and the vege¬
table matter in turn serves to retain
the moisture, keeping the soil mellow
and responsive to the food demand of
the cultivated plants.
, Besides adding to and making avail¬
j able the fertility of the soil, the win¬
j ter cover crop renders no less valua¬
ble service by preventing leaching and
I washing away of soil fertility by win¬
ter and early spring rains, also by
j | providing preciated by winter pasture so much ap¬
live stock.

“PRINCE OF SPIES/’
He Was a Young Alsatian In tha Serv

The nmn whom lie picked out to
organize this secret service was a regf

afterward became Due de Rovigo

judgment of men: he gathered from
various corners of Europe an Immense
number of agents who served him with
varying degrees of success, but with
that curiously uniform fidelity which

Chief among them was a young AJ

who earned the nickname of “Prince
of Sides." Savary had come across
him in the early days In a little At
satian village where Sehulmeister, the
son of a local clergyman, was carry
ing on a gigantic and eminently suc¬
cessful system of smuggling. When
Napoleon commissioned him to organ
ize an army of spies Savary at once
bethought him of his shrewd and
audacious friend.
So young Sehulmeister entered the
French service In 1800. being then
barely thirty. He showed considerable
skill in watching the doings of the
emigres In Germany. He It was who

A certain General de Thumery was
