FARMERS TAUGHT BETTER METHODS Systematic efforts to secure the de velopment of corn and cotton cultiva tion, which promises to work a revolu tion In agriculture In the state of Geor gia, are now being made by the cotton and corn demonstrating work of the agricultural department of the United States government, under the supervis ion of Dr. S. A. Knapp. Recently eight men have been put In the field whose duty It Is to secure the consent of from fifty to one hundred farmers In the various counties In the slate to set aside from 1 to 5 acres of land for corn and cotton to be culti vated according to the best methods de veloped from practical experiments by tho department of agriculture. The Purpose of the work Is to demonstrate to tho farmer that crops so cultivated will yield more to the acre than other crops which are cultivated differently. In carrying on the work, three prin ciples will be observed, as follows: Deeper plowing In the fall, the building up of land by legumus crops such as cow peas, clover, alfalfa, etc., and the selection of seed In the fall of the year. It will be the duty of the field agents to visit each crop once every two weeks and give such Instructions as may be necessary. During the first year about thirteen counties will be visited, but It Is hoped by the third year that the demonstrations will be made In every county In the state. In speaking of tho work, O. M. Davis, special field agent, said: “The work which It Is proposed to do will not be done as an experiment, for the methods to be employed In corn and cotton cultivation arc the result of years of study and practical experience. The experiment has already been made, and the thing to be done now Is to glvs the farmer the benefit of this experi ment, knowing of what Immense ad vantage It will be to him In the cultiva tion of his crops.” OLD MAN LOCKED IN CELL IN TOWER Accused of misappropriating the sum of about 82,100, B.

Gainesville, Ga., Dec, 28.—One of the most pleasant affairs of Christmas Week was the banquet given last night In their lodge rooms by Chattahoo chee Tribe No. 1). Improved Order of Red Men. The thief guest of the oc casion was Hon. L. H. Chappell, of Columbus, Ga., grand sachem of Geor gia. Music was furnished by Rich ardson Bros.' band. Jet S. All'cn acted as toastmaster, When the educational clause of the child labor law of 1906 becomes effect ive. January 1, there will be few mill operatives affected by Its provisions and deprived of employment In the mills and factories In Atlanta and the state. i Realizing that the educational clause must be compiled svlth, and with whole year In which to moke prepara tion for It, the cotton mill men and tho r perators of other manufacturing plants emplpylng child labor have ta ken time by the forelock and have re quired their employees who would be affected by that portion of the law which becomes effective the first of the yeir, to qualify for It during the year that Is drawing to a close. The section of the bill which will soon become active law requires that no child under 14 years of age shall lie allowed to labor In a factory of any kind unless he or she can read and write his or her name and ran rend and write simple sentences In English, and has attended school twelve weeks of the previous year, six weeks of which has been consecutive. It also requires that no child between the ages of 14 and 18 years shall be so employed un less he or she can comply with the same conditions, the same to apply only to such children as have been em. ployed at the age of 14 years or un der. 8ent Them to School. The proposition that confronted the mill and factory operators of the state employing such children was to allow them to continue In their employ until the first of the year and then let them go, or turn them loose for three months In 1967 and have them qualify under the provisions of the bill. They chose the latter course, and according to statements made by mill operators there la scarcely a child employed In the Atlanta mills who has not attend ed school for at least three months dur ing the present year. It Is understood that the same policy has been followed by mill operators throughout the state. We understood what we had to do under the law,” said Charles D. Tuller, | secretary and treasurer of the Expo- j sltlon Cotton Mills, “and we proceeded . at once to do It. In our mill wo had about 25ichlldren that would hnre been 1 affected by the law. We Informed j their parents that they must send the ' children to school and made It our business to see that It was done. Now, If the children wish to continue in our employ during 1908 they are qualified to do so." "The only way In which the law will work any hardship upon us. If It works any hardship at all, will be when the time comes again In 1908 to lay them off for the required three months 1 schooling In order to qualify them for employment In 1909. It Is my under standing that all the mills and facto ries In the state, employing children affected by the law, have pursued the ! same course, and only a few children will be thrown out of employment when | the law goee Into effect." School st Cotton Mill, The Exposition Cotton Mills Is one | of the few manufacturing establish- 1 ments In the state. If not the only one. which conducts a school for the bene fit of Its employees. Three teachers are employed, and when the time comes for the children to attend school they attend that established by the mill, unless their parents desire to send them to another. "The tendency of the times now Is," continued Mr. Tuller. "to eliminate the employment of children when It Is pos. slble. In many Instances parents, of their own accord, sre deciding that they had rather give their children an education, and fewer children are be ing employed now than has ever been the case before. Wages have been In creased and older people are now do ing the work children formerly did."
