NOW IS THE TIME TO
PLAN FOR COUNTY FAIR
Farm Demonstrator Gives Some
Valuable Advise to Pros¬
pective Exhibitors and
Others Interested.
As and soon the as ground the weather clears j
be up gets so it can
worked all will be busy
planting, or getting ready to
plant. While you are waiting
for the ground to get into condi
Lion to work why not be plan- j
ning just what crops you intend
to plant? No doubt most of
have already planned your crops
for the year, but if you have
not, why not plan to plant some
special crop to show at the fair
next fall? If you don’t care to
plant these special crops, why
not make a special effort to see
how good a product you can pro¬
duce from the average farm
crop. Good stalks of corn, cot¬
ton. sorghum, bunch of peanuts,
velvet beans, anything grown on
the farm will bring a prize next
fall at the fair.
If every district can have a
large display of all of the crops
grown on the farm, it will help
to make the displays more at
tractive and to make the
iition between districts higher.
The live stock display at the
fair was good last fall and no
doubt but what it will be
this fall fias every one who
tends to show at the fair this
fall have already begun to fatten
their animals so they will be in
good condition. It is up to every
farmer in the county to see that
the agricultural display is as
good as the live stock display
this year, and the only way you
can do it is to start to planning
and planting early. to
Let’s every one start now
planning for the fair next fall,
and have the best fair Newton
county ever had.

DEMONSTRATION AGENT
DISGOSSES GLOB WORK
Rules Given For Girls Canning
Cubs and Other Informa¬
tion—Work Not Con¬
fined to Canning.
As home demonstration agent
of Newton county, I take pleas¬
ure in giving some explanations
of the club and home demon¬
stration work; of the organiza¬
tion, and roles by which it is
is carried on, as an answer to
many of the questions that are
me as I go about over the
county.
Many have the idea, which is a
misconstrued one. that all that is
done in the girls’ clubs is “can¬
ning,” because it is called “Can¬
ning club.” Thereis only one
canning season in the year, but
the girls are carrying on other
phases of the work at other sea¬
sons: as sewing, cooking, study
of foods, choosing and planning
menus, gardening, poultry rais¬
ing (in the poultry clubs), sani¬
tation , and other phases of
home-keeping.
The work of the girls’ canning
clubs in Georgia is promoted by
the State College of Agriculture
the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, co-operating with
the State Colleges, county school
j superintendents, teachers, local
of commerce, women’s
clubs, and other organizations
and individuals,
Each county organized has a
woman agent appointed by the
State College of Agriculture and
the United States Department of
Agriculture co-operating, who or
girls’ clubs, visits
members at the schools and in
their homes, gives instrucions in
garden work, canning, preserv
sewing, keeping records, etc.
These clubs are a part of the
home demonstration work for
women and girls.
Alter a club ha*, been oiganiz

Joe was the Captain’s cashier. One night he slipped into his
pocket a large payment rendered to his employer, just because
it was closing time and he was too lazy to re-open the safe and
put away the money.
And then the Captain found out. Should he expose Joe, or
not?—a difficult question, because the Captain loved Joe’s wife.
