CURRENT TOPICS ON AGRICULTURE Edited Ly E. E HAi-L, County A*jt. 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 from the boy* who won trip* to The Southea*tern Fair) 1 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. \ Hubert Anthony, 1 Danielsvillc, Ga. * * r ♦♦**** * CARLTON * Til*- ideal Indian summer is being enjoyed by all.
