Exhibits on Educational Train
The exhibits on the second edu
cational train are tastefully ar
ranged and present in graphic |
form data of interest on every
phase of agricultural practice in
the state of Georgia. The car of
live stock is very attractive, some
splendid specimens of horses, cat
tle, sheep, swine and poultry are
being corried cn this car. They
will be exhibited on a flat car and
this will enable'all to see them to
advantage.
The car of farm machinery will
prove interesting to many. There
is a gas engine, which drives a
motor, showing how light for the
farm home may be generated ; var
ious grinding mills, and a gin such
aB farmers might use to delint their
choice, selected seed and prevent
its being contaminated by pressing
through a public gin; a manure
spreader, deep tilling plow and
various*other impliments, the use
of which means better proparation
of the land and larger and more
profitable crops.
In the baggage cars many of the
exhibits shown are behind glass
and present aver f attractive sight.
Everything has been labeled with
care and one taking enough time
to pass through the car can gather
much vauable information with
out the aid of a guide, though
eomo fourteen experts accompany
the train for the sole purpose of
giving information to visitors.
The boys’ corn club exhibits,
showing methods of germinating
and testing seed, will interest
many. The 6oil analyses shown
are certautly as important us any
thing could be to the farmers of
the state . The exhibit of cotton
grades will prove instructive to
all who study them for a few min
utes. Tho model farm showing
how the land should be divided
to enable the practice of an
economic rotation is one of the
most instructive features of the J
train, and every one can afford to
spend some time studying this
unique exhibit. The working
dairy will furnish many valuable
lessons. See it by all means.
Artificial cotton plants and
charts have been prepared to illus
trate the effect of a deficiency in
certain elements, such as potash,
on plant growth. A section of
plants just as they grow in the
field forms a feature of the cotton
exhibit, and illustrates a yield of
about two and a half bales per
acre. This is one of the selected,
strains of cotton produced on the
farm which is resistant to Anth
racnose, a disease which causes
millions of dollars loss in Georgia |
every year. In addition there are
exhibits of spray machinery and
spray material for controlling in
jurious insects and plant diseases.
The State Department of Ento
mology has a very attractive dis
play. Valuable data is presented
relative to fertilizers and fertiliz
ing material, and problems in soil
fertility and farm management.
Some twelve bullet ins are carried
on this train and will be distribut
ed to those asking for them free of
cost. They will give information
concerning a great variety of top
ics and aggregate in all more than
2,000,000 of printed matter. It
would take pages to describe the
exhibits carried with any degree
of detail or accuracy, but this 1
summary will give the public some :
idea concerning them. Come and
see for yourself. You will be bene
fited, and those accompanying the
train will extend every courtesy
and consideration within their
power to visitors.

Influence.
Reader, you are exerting an in
fluence, did you ever think of that?
Your conversation and actions are
being closely watched by some
one. Therefore, ybu should be
careful. Guard your tongue, A
word once spoken cannot be un
said. A gesture once made can
not be unmade. A step taken can
not be retaken. We are not care
ful as we should lie about how we \
live. We gossip indiscreetly, we
act wholly unbecoming to the man
or woman whom God has created
in the image of himself. We have
written on Influence before, and
we will probably write on the
subject again and again. You may
say, “Oh! listen to his moraliz
ing. I am tired, sick and disgust
ed with so much stuff telling the
renders what they ought and ought
not to do. Why don’t he walk the
chalk line himself?” Well, it’s a
fact, the Editor confesses he has
inunv -hortcomings : v at the same
time lih edits a paper that is week
!v ex"innß an influence. lie ob
serves. he sees the tendency of the
times, and is not forgetful that
there is a great deul*of good in the
world He tukes notice too, that
tnere is an immense lot of wicked
ness. We are not mud-raking or |
endeavoring to turn things topsy
turvy, but we do wish to ask our
readers to ba careful about the
kind of influence they exert. Dont
loaf. Don’t use slang. Don’t throw
away your money on useless things
and don’t keep bad company.
Don’t deal in games of chance.
Don’t drink alcholic beveruges.
Don’t smoke cigarettes. Refrain
from dissipation in any way, nor
read trashy novels, or any kind of
cheap, poisonous literature. On
the ot her hand, try to exert a good
influence Keep busy. Sp3uk a
word of encouragement to your
fellow men. Read good books,
standard magazines and clean
papers. Study the Bible. Help
the siok. Sympathize with the
sorrowing. In all matters do your
j duty thoroughly. Make the best
of every opportunity. Attend Sun
day school and church o:i Sunday
and carry a friend with you. By
all means exert a correct influence
on those with whom you come in
contuct and live sincere lives.
About the only thing that ap
! pears to have been well done by
t ie enumerators employed in tak
ing the census last year was the
manner in which they drew their
salaries.
