A CORRECTION
In tin; Issue of two weeks ago in
these columns we- carried a list
of cows tested for tuberculosis and
/ailed to give credit by whom this
work was done. It was under the di
rection of Dr. B. L. Dawson, TJ. S.
.Veterinary, Atlanta. —Editor

MY TRIP TO THE FAIR
*
The State of Georgia offers every
year to each county of the state an
examination for the Club boys, the
two boys of each county who make
the best mark get a free trip to the
Southeastern Fair which is held an
nually at Lakewood.
While there the boys attend a fair
school and as 1 was fortunate enough
to win a trip this time I know how
valuable it is.
S. T. Hardman, who was my team
mate, and I left: Comer about seven
A. M. Monday and arrived in Atlan
ta about ) 0 :.\!0 A M.. Here we were
met by Dr. Me Cay of the Agricultur
al College who took us to the fair
grounds. Here we met about 270
club hoy.:; from various other coun
ties of the state with whom we spent
the rest of the day getting “straight
ened out.”
We were fed well all the week,
“Gus” having charge of the cooking.
Tuesday morning after breakfast
we had a •'lass under Dr. McCoy on
poultry and he gave us some very
valuable information on that line;
the afternoon was spent, in looking
around over the various exhibits.
Wed nesday morning we had a class
under Dr. Appleton which v/as also
very interesting and instructive
That night after supper Mr. Cun
ningham, State Club Agent gave a
good talk on the value of club work.
Thursday wo spent at the Capitol
and Stone Mountain. This was an in
teresting trip. Friday we had a les
son on marketing which I think is
ope thing the average farmer is not
particular enough about.
That night we had as guests, Mr.
H. G. Hastings, former president of
fhe fair, Mr. Oscar Miles, who is r.ow
president and Mr. R. M. Stripling,
Secretary.. They all gave some good
advice and interesting talks. Satur
day we came home after a very val
uable week.
In conclusion I want to say that
l think club work is a great thing and
should be pushed more. Every boy
appreciated the trip and I am sure
that every one would sav that it was
worth more than any one week he
over spent in school.
1 also take this method of thank
ing our home agent, Mr. Hall, for I
realize that without his efforts the
trip would have been impossible.
A Club Agent is a great help and
should have the. backing of every '
nn.'i. woman ami child in the county. \
