IIART FA RATER KIWIS
DAIBT TOWS PROFITABLE
| One of the farmers least effeeted by
| the ravages of the boll weevil is Mr.
|T. E. V. White of Hartwell, Georgia.
For a number of years Mr. White has
; practiced diversification and received
all the benefits and advantages ot
this system of farming. He not only
has one of the most productive farms
in that part of the state, but hts
money to run on, plenty to eat at
home with lights and other modern
conveniences.
Mr. White considers the few dairy
cows which he milks a very impo(rt:-
ant part in his operations. He says,
“I have been working with cows for
six years. I started with four cows
and now have nine head, seven are
giving milk now. I sold butter at
first, but I have been selling cream
for several years. I like to sell
cream better than to make butter. I
like the business well enough to fol
low it a while yet, and expect to do p.
better business in the future than I
have in the past. I have a better lot
of cows and I am going to feed them'
better.”
Mr. White has been since 1916 a
regular patron of the Georgia State
College of Agricultural Cooperative
Creamery. At times the prices ob
tained have run considerably lower
than the lowest of the present year.
Mr. White also tells of things
bought with returns from his cows, j
among them being a acetylene light
ing outfit, and a tractor. He gives
a great deal of the credit for the fer
tility of his farm to his cattle. Be
fore the boll weevil reached that ter-}
ritorv he obtained a yield of cotton
equaled on few farms in the state.
If more farmers would follow this
man’s plan of farming there would be
less hard times in the state. This is
only one of the many instances where
this plan has been and continues to be
successful.

Sixth Grade.
Members of the sixth grade fully
j enjoy and appreciate the lessons in
music given on each Wednesday
I morning. In addition to this, they
j are having some appreciation lessons
from some of the works of the j
world's great painters. Camille Co- J
I rot, who was a lover of birds, flow- |
ers, trees and music, and a master of I
landscape painting, was studied first.
From the side windows of the sixth ;
1 grade room a beautiful Corot land- |
scape may be seen. The trees which j
were gaudy in autumn colors have
shed these brightly colored leaves,
; but there remains the beauty of form
j possessed by this group of trees.
Some very interesting and striking
1 comparisons were drawn between J
these trees and some presented in
! Corot’s pictures, especially in his pic
tures —The Spring, and The Dance of
1 The Nymphs.
The First Grade.
The first grade has just completed j
a Thanksgiving Fruit Basket and j
I Turkey and are now working on a
Thanksgiving program, which con
i sists of recitations and a play,
“Garden Seed.”
Friday night the children’s fantasy,
‘Garden Seed," was presented by the
pupils of both music and expression j
i departments, assisted by a number 1
of other pupils from the grades.
This play was prepared for presen
tation by Miss Williams, with the as
sistance of Miss Cantrell and Miss
Morgan, while all the other teachers
J w r ere helpful in every way they could
assist.
A nice sum was realized, which will
be used for the support of the ex
pression department. The expression

soon we hope it will be self-support

The music department is self-sup
porting, and each month has had a
small amount to its credit. These
departments mean much to the suc
i cess of the school generally. We are
i now accomplishing some things that
would be impossible without the co
operation of these departments.
Basket Ball Game.
Monday afternoon Rrewton-Parker
i boys came down for a real game.
They had won over Mctter, and since
Metter had beaten us, 8.-P. I. was
pretty sure of winning in this game,
j Things looked a bit dark for them
: when the whistle blew for the close
of the second quarter, for Vidalia
was ahead by a good margin. In
the last quarter things began to pick
up and both sides worked but
our opponents finished the game with
two points ahead. 4
Plans are now made with Metter
| for a game on Friday of this week
and we will probably have a double
header .
Juniors Present Gifts.
The junior class, having caught the
! spirit of Thanksgiving, met at s:o©
I o’clock. Wednesday afternoon for the
j purpose of carrying a few gifts to .
1 different families. Potatoes, flour,
sugar, meats, fruits and various other
necessities were grought. We feel
sure that each one contributing will
j enjoy their oun Thanksgiving Day
much more by having made someone
else happy. 4^
