Miss Eron Dooley, the little hero-

did some lively talking himself
: coking over the assembly. Mr. Moore
moved to wonder how many of
o youngsters then cocupying the
scats of Legislators would return in
future* years to Atlanta to take up in
earnest the law-making duties of the
s ate. Then he said something pretty
1 siiould always^ be remembered."

Soule Looks to Youth.
Ip Soule, president of the State
■ ge of Agriculture, stated that
I time was corning when "the in-
igent use of land would free the
"iiMiry of most of its burdens, and
Mi'd-c the farmer boy a dominant fao-

10, Gets Big Reception.
1 Mere was Clarence Aired, of Pick- j
County. Clarence is only 10 j
<»id. and he probably would ;
1 preferred to die rather than get
on that desk, but Mr. Campbell
1 wo ot tlio leaders in Ihe Georgia Gild Canning Club Competition. Out the right is Miss Clyde Sullivan, of Lowndes County,
the State champion, who canned from one-tenth of an acre 5.354 pounds of tomatoes ai a net protit of $132. She is 14 years old. On
the left is Miss Josephine Simms, Floyd County's fairest young canning girl.
didn't give him a chance to die. He
was grasped under the arms and ele
vated before the admiring populace
before he could run or do anything,
and when the crowd heard that that
little bit of a boy had made 163 bush
els of corn on his acre they gave him
the big cheer of the day. Whereupon
Clarence’s ears flamed again.
Then there was Marion Jackson
Hall, the Irwin County l^rd, who
wrote out the entire Odyssey of his
corn-growing adventures in verse,
but only read a couple of short pre
dictions of glory for Old Georgia,
and that sort of thin, you know.
It was all right, too. and Marion
Jackson had a strong voice.
Then there was Grady Lee. 14
years old. of DeKalb County, who
made a good talk, telling of his early
disappointments, and how he couldn’t
hold the plow in the ground at first,
but after tw'o years of failure he
finally came through with 77 bushels
to the acre.
And tow-headed Durenne Adair, of
Paulding. 11 years old and small for
the age. who had made 188 bushels.
Ho made a good talk, too, and was
cheered.
Miss Dooley Good Speaker.
After which .Miss Eron Dooley.
Cconee'a champion tomato grower,
stood up very straight and cool—ever
notive how much more at home the
girls are than the boys when speak
ing'.’ -and told about clearing $91.50
on her tenth of an acre, which would
run the profit per acre up to mighty
near $1,000..
The crowd enjoyed it all hugely
and cheered the youngsters, and tilbv
enjoyed it, too, after it was over—
sort of like having a tooth pulled <r
a picture taken.
And after that Mr. Campbell read
the list of the prize awards, and
everybody cheered. Mr. Moore n-
vited them to come again, and then
everybody went out. to get something
to eat before the para do,

Remarkable i/aords had be n x
made by the girls In their fanning 2
competitions, and. as fey the exce ^5
lence of results, it appeared that ti !*
mothers of the State would have to '*
look to their laurel If the*, did not ,~i*
wish to be surpassed by their (laugh- 2
ters who are not yet out of thtpr ' *
"teens.” , 2
Take Miss (Hyde Sullivan, tiie young !
champion, for example. She is from **
Ousley. Ga., and raised the tomatoes: *2
she canned upon one-tenth of an acre, ! ;*
like the other contestants. 2
Here is her story of w hat she ac- j ^3
complished: • 2
*'I planted my tomato sc ds Febr i |
ary 20. We have to keep a record *>f j ***
everything W'e do. ho as to make our - 2
reports here, and that is how I know, j 'jm
Transplanted in March. *
' Then it was the last day of March
that I transplanted them I put them »
in row’s 2 1-2 feet apart. 1 didn't j *3
have any trouble with them to speak '
of. The insect® were the only *hlng -2
that bothered me a' all and f kept
them picked off pretty clean all of the j
time. ! ^2
"The first fruit showed up on May
7 The first week in June the tonfa- , w
toes began to ripen well.
"How many tomatoes do you think -2
1 raised? Oh, you're a poor gueeser.
1 raised just 5,354 pounds. That
wasn't so bad, was It?
‘‘Now. of course you couldn't guess
how many cans of tomatoes I imide
out of these 5.354 pound*. Let me see
—-there were 212 No. 3 cans (they
hold'a (juarti and 2,254 No 2s The
No. 2® hold 22 ounces, or about twu-
tbirds of a quart.
"Besides all this. T put up 60 pounds , . u
of ketchup and 50 pounds of tomatoes | *2
in jars. D*
"The total cosi of ell the work
the cultivation, the fertilizer, the can*. m
etc totaled $80.22. M> gross re- j T**
ceipts were $212.61, leaving me a ne ;
profit of $132.39.” !
Miss l^ela E. Dixon, of Fayetteville J*
Fayette County, had excellent yield
and profits and turned in one of the
best notebooks in the competition
The exhibit counts for 4<» points, and
tli^ report, the yield and the profit for
20 points each.
About 50 of the girls from various
parts of the State are In the city to
attend the exhibit, which is being
conducted under the auspices of the
Georgia Girls’ Canning and Poultry
Club. Miss Mary E. Cresswell. of
Washington, in charge of the girls’
demonstration work 'hat Is carried
on by the Bureau of Plant Industry
and the General Education Board, has
been active in making the Georgia ex- |
hi bit a success i
Thpugli the Corn Show being held in |
the corridors of the state Capitol is
conceded to be the largest Atlanta ever 1
has seen. Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi-I
deni of the State College of Agriculture,
at Athens, and a leading figure In the
work of the State corn clubs, is of the
opinion that the 1914 show will be even
larger and better.
