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. Girl Makes $79.95 on Small Plot. 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 corn show parade.

LAWTON CAMP, SPANISH WAR VETS, ELECTS OFFICERS A reorganization meeting of Gen eral Henry Lawton Camp, No. 6, United Spanish War Veterans, was held at the Auditorium-Armory. A large membership was enlisted. Prior to the election of officers, the many veterans of the war with Spain held a smoker and heard talks by a number of their leaders. The officers elected were; Com mander, George N. Watson, captain Company L, Twentieth Kansas volun teers; senior vice commander. John D. Jackson, corporal Company B.

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 BEGINS 3L? OSTOFFICE The holiday rush has begun at the Atlanta postoffice, in the for eign parcels post department, and from 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 try in Europe is represented to a great er or less degree. The internal parcels post will not begin operations until January 1.

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 STOMICH SICK.

Then you will feel great.

"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. stomach. A little Diapepsln occasional 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 sin, which costs only fifty cents for a 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 stomach; it's so unnecessary. (Advt.) 3
