SKILL OF GEORGIA'S BOY
CORN GROWERS AMAZES
'OLD-SCHOOL" PLANTERS
“We old farmers will be put out of
the running in a few years if these
young boys don't slide back into the
old rut.” remarked Colonel Walter
Youngblood, of Muscogee county, as he
watched the boy members of the corn
clubs marching about the big corn show
at the capitol today.
“Time was when we were too proud
to learn —1 remember when we had a
chance to learn something about scien
tific agriculture —and now we couldn't
learn if we tried. We’re too old.” He
paused to brush back the few white
locks hanging down over his forehead,
then laughed suddenly.
"Yesterday my nephew came to me —
he's not but twelve years old —and
asked for a nickel. Out of curiosity I
asked him what he wanted with it. ex
pecting to hear of some sort of candy
or other sweets he craved. T got to buy
some stamps, so’s I can write to W ash
ington 'bout my oats next spring, he
told me. That boy has been keeping an
armful of gov’ment literature on his
desk for the past two years, and he's
learned what was in the books, too.
Didn't Have the Hints Then.
"Books don't make farmers, but
farmers with books . can make a dern
sight more than just plain farmers can.
I've been farming since I was old
enough to boss a nigger, and the most
corn I ever raised on a acre was 62
bushels. An' I did that because I hap
pened to learn that if I poured a cer
tain solution on growing corn it would
double the yield. Yet I didn't have
sense enough to comprehend that
where there was one such hint there
might be a thousand.
“These boys have got ten thousand.
It's not wonderful that they are raising
so much corn. The wonder is that they
had sense enough to learn how to raise
it. They road all the circulars sent
out by the departments of agriculture.
They analyze their land and learn to
rotate crops. They learn to fertilize
just enough and not too much. They
learn to plow deepl.t and plow often
“When I was growing up we didn’t
believe in fertilizers and thought it was
a waste of money to buy such 'high
falutin' trash. We wouldn't have
known what a man meant if he had
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FMDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1912.
talked of analyzing the soil. As for
rotating, if we found a certain piece of
ground would raise good corn we
planted corn there till it wouldn’t raise
a dust, much less any growing thing.
And if we plowed corn twice we
thought we were doing mighty well,
while we usually scratched the ground
about two inches deep.
No Competition to Urge Them On.
"Seems to me that it is the competi
tion that makes the boys learn so.
In my day the only competition we had
was learning which one of us would
get cow-hided first for not plowing a
big enough tract in a day. The only
Interest we had was in getting through,
and we didn’t give two whoops whether
we raised four or forty bushels. There
wasn't anybody in the next county to
make us ashamed."
That the boys of the state took ad
vantage of every opportunity proffered
them was evident from the displays.
Just as one enters the north door of the
capitol is the exhibit of Sereven county,
and in the midst of that are the ten
ears raised by Byron Bolton on his acre
of ground, off which he gathered 177
bushels of corn.
Recorded yields of from 100 to 150
bushels are . fairly common, each
county usually having at least one ex
hibitor who gathered more than the
coveted 100 bushels off an acre.
Clarence Marchant, of Telfair coun
ty, raised 152 bushels, while R. B. Lyon,
of Tattnall, made 132. Luther E. Bridg
man. of Effingham county, made 150
bushels on his acre. Other big yields
were 106 bushels gathered by Stirling
Carmichael, of Coweta county; 104 by
Abner M. Nixon, of Carroll county, and
112 bushels by Abney Smith, of Effing
ham county.

one of the most interesting of the
exhibits is that of Newton county,
where the first boys corn club in the
South was organized in 1904. G. C. Ad
ams organized the club and now three
of his sons are exhibitors in the county
display, one of them taking first prize.
This club will lead the others in the

different counties and preserved many
different products.
The accomplishment of Ruby Ken
nedy, of Terrell county, who made a
profit of $79.95 on 1-10 of an acre of
ground, completely, puts in the shade
the claims of the boys who made a
profit of from S4O to $125 an acre with
their corn.
Danie and Janie Wicker, the Macon
county twins, also had a splendid ex
hibit and made a good profit on their
garden, while Ruby Butler and Lucile
Field, of Floyd county, were noticeable
especially because of the papers they
prepared on the subject of canning.
An exhibit of Georgia-raised apples
from Rabun county attracted much at
tention among the older spectators, and
more than one declared, that in the old
1 days there were no such apples as
those.
1,000 BOYS AND
GIRLS ORESTS
AT DINNER
Corn Show Parade to Move Im
mediately After Feast at
Capitol at Noon.
Eating day for every girl and boy
member of the canning or corn clubs of
the state will be fittingly observed by
nearly 1,000 youngsters at the state
capitol today at 12 o'clock, when they
will be the guests of the Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce at one of the biggest
dinners ever given in Atlanta.
Long tables laden with dainties to
satisfy the sturdy appetites of hungry
young farmer girls and boys will stretch
through the corridors of the building
and for perhaps the first time in its his
tory it will see the embryo agricultural
interests of the state all satisfied as to
appetite.
The dinner will be so big and there
will be so many attending it that four
ministers will be required to say grace,
and as soon as they are done, promptly
at 12 o'clock, the meal will begin. The
four ministers will be Dr. John F. Pur
ser. Dr. J. B. Robins. Dr. R. O. Flinn
and Dr. C. B. Wilmer.
After the dinner the great corn club
parade will move. Captain W. H.
Leahy, who is commander-in-chief ot
the corn club boy scouts, will be grand
marshal of the parade, which will in
clude the Fifth regiment. Georgia Mili
tary and Marist college cadets. Boy
Scouts, corn clubs and other oiganiza
tiors. More than 3,000 will participate,
and many of the most prominent army
and state officials will be present.
The parade will -be led by the corn
clubs. It will form at the capitol and
w ill cover most of the business streets
of the city before it ends at the starting
point. The boys will assemble imme
diately after the dinenr is finished, and
at 1 o'clock the parade will move.
HOLIDAY PACKAGE RUSH

The holiday rush has begun at the
Atlanta postoffice, in the for

this time until the end of the Christ
mas season the clerks in the big build
ing will be worked hard.
Packages in the foreign parcels post
have been coming in steadily since the
beginning of the week. Most of them
are consigned to Greece, Russia and
Italy, although practically every coun

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
A Georgia politician, recently re
turned from Washington, talks most
interestingly of Mr. Bryan and his
*.7
probable attitude
toward the next
national adminis
tration.
He says it gen
erally is agreed
that Mr. Bryan is
to have a great
deal to say about
things. whether
the saying invari
ably is invited or
even welcome, but
that it will, in all
probability, b e
both invited and
welcome upon a
good many occa
sions.
“I find a dispo
tion to approve
the suggestion that Mr. Bryan be taken
into the cabinet,” said this gentleman,
“and that both by his enemies and his
friends. Mr. Bryan's friends believe he
should be taken into the cabinet be
cause he, in their opinion, has won the
right to anything he'may demand, or
that he would accept, from the presi
dent-elect. His enemies—or. to put it
more mildly, those who do not agree
with Mr. Bryan—believe that he should
go into the cabinet and thereby assume
hts share of the responsibility for the
administration and its acts.
"Some, of course, wish to keep Mr.
Bryan close to the side of President
Wilson because they believe he will be
a tower of strength to him in emergen
cies; others wish him to assume the at
titude of a partner in the administra
tion, and thus disarm him, theoreti
cally. for the party's sake, as an ad
verse and untrammeled critic and dis
turbing element.
Mr. Bryan is reported to have leased
a suite of rooms in the handsome new
Woodward office building, in H street,
and there are two theories as to what
that means. One side holds that Mr.
Bryan is preparing to open a sort of
national headquarters for the dispen
sation of advice and suggestion to the
president and the congress; the other
side affirms that these offices are mere
ly for the use of a Washington branch
of The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s news
paper.
“My private opinion is that Mr. Bry
an will decline to enter the cabinet. I
think he will hold himself free to say or
write what he pleases, and that without
the responsibility of a partnership in
the administration to shoulder; but that
he will elect to assume a friendly atti
tude toward the administration, at least
in its early stages.
"Washington is intensely interested
in Mr. Bryan—there is no doubt of that.
One hears him discussed continuously
on all hands."
The question of Solicitor General J.
R. Williams' bond having been brought
to the attention of the executive de
partment of the state, as to whether it
should be SIO,OOO or $5,000, an investi
gation of the law by Executive Secre
tary Ulm discloses the fact that there
is no precise sum named in which so
licitors shall be bonded, but that it has
been customary to bond them in the
sum of SIO,OOO.
“The law says he shall be bonded in
the same sum as the attorney general,
which, by virtue of his office, he is,”
said Mr. Ulm, discussing the matter.
“The trouble is that nowadays he
isn’t attorney general by virtue of his

office or anything else, although he used
to be—before the constitution of 1877
was adopted.
"Away back yonder, the solicitor
general of the circuit in which the cap
ital of the state happened to be located
—a circuit composed of half the state—
was, by virtue of his office, the state's
attorney general. If that were the law
now, Hugh Dorsey, for instance, and
not Tom Felder, would be attorney gen
eral.
“As to what the proper bond of a so
licitor of these times is, I am sure I
can not say with definiteness," con
cluded Ulm.
About this time every year—and this
year is no exception—the governor is
deluged with a lot of “please-governor
won’t-you-let-papa-come-home Christ
mas" letters—papa being, of course,
the state's unwilling guest at the state
farm, or on the public roads somewhere.
Investigation usually proves that
“papa” is a tough old nut, in the state’s
custody entirely as a matter of safety
and protection to society, with a vague
sort of hope upon the part of the state
that reformation may grab him event
ually and hold on tight, and that the
granting of the let-papa-come-homs
petition is out of the question.
Nevertheless, it is a season when thq
refusal of executive clemency is par
ticularly depressing, and the governor
hates to go up against that mail and
turn down the petitions, as nine times
out of ten he must.
The women folks and the kids back
home, too often innocent parties to
"papa's” misconduct, back a plea in a
way that touches, if it does not compel.
Governor Brown says he would rather
get a dozen pleas for executive clemen
cy on the Fourth of July than one at
Christmas.
There is one postmaster in Georgia
who has quit worrying about whether
he is to “get the hook,” and that is
Postmaster James L. Sibley, of Mil
ledgeville.
The reason he has quit worrying
about whether he is to get it is because
he already "has got” it!
Before all this question was raised
of the senate refusing to confirm the
Taft appointments, and so forth, the
president slipped one over on Sibley
and named Warren Edwards to succeed
him.
Sibley' isn't weeping so many tears,
however, at that, as he says his old job
would have been snatched from him
along about March 15, anyway.
When the boys com club from Butts
county called to see Governor Brown
today, some 54) strong, it was disap
pointed greatly to find that he was in
Richmond and will not return until aft
er the show is over.
The leader of the club, however, who
looked to be about fourteen, thought
the thing over a few minutes, and then
he said to his comrades:
"I'll tell you what, fellers. If we
can’t see the real governor, w'e will go
to see the near-governor, who Is going
to be governor before long.”
And then he turned to Private Secre
tary Perry, and inquired of him how to
reach John M. Slaton’s office.
“My county went for him with a
whoop, you know, and 1 guess he will
be pretty glad to see us!” said the
leader.
“He sho’ will,” said Perry, as he
gave the necessary directions.
And then the Butts county boys
started on a hike across town to Ms-
Slaton's offices in the Grant building.

ly keeps the stomach regulated and they
eat their favorite foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn’t take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion: if
your food is a damage instead of a
help, remember the quickest, surest,
most harmless relief is Pape's Diapep

large case at drug stores. It’s truly
wonderful—it digests food and sets
things straight, so gently and easily
that It is astonishing. Please don't go
on and on with a weak, disordered
