COUNTY AGENT BUSY ENROLLING MEMBERS FOR VARIOUS CLUBS The County Agent has been busy enrolling club members for the vari ous club but has been unable to visit all the rural schools before they clos ed. But he is anxious to have all of the boys and girls in the clubs who wish to join. There should be a large number of boys join the corn and cot ton clubs. The boys can make more money on one of these acres than on anything else and has a very good chance to win a nice prize. The boys have a very good opportunity this year to show the people of the county that cotton can be made in spite of the boll weevil. Walker county should have as good a club as any county in the state, aul we must depend upon the girls and boys to make ours as good as any club in the state. The parents can be of great aid by encour aging the boys and girls to join, and send their names to the county agent at once. GROW BEANS FOR CANNING Several farmers of Walker county, near LaFayette have contracted with the Drake-Kelly Canning Co., of Chattanooga to grow beans for the cannery this summer.

About twenty-five acres of beans will be grown under contract by these men this year. This deal was brought about by Mr. H. V. Henry, prominent LaFayette groceryman, who is doing a great deal to push diversified farming in Walker county. B. L. Carlock Celebrated 65th Birthday Sunday B. L.
