GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
1,000 GEORGIA CORN BOYS IN SPLENDID PARADEfw.-RicH & bros'co.1
Prizes Awarded at Rousing Meeting Held at State Capitol i BANG!!
Speakers Who Were on
Program Fail to Ar
rive, but Young Farm
ers and Canning Club
Girls Take Places.
In the seats of the mighty, or the
uiirs of the Solons, or whatever you
ml to call the places of the Georgia
legislators, a thousand Corn Club
•".vs occupied the hall of the House
Representatives Thursday morn-
: g and heard a good deal about
;hemseive8 and about their work.
The second big event of the day—
e parade—began receiving preferred
tention right after luncheon, when
the boys began forming at the north
side of the Capitol for the march to
•In Armory, where the parade was to
start at 3 o'clock. Orders were given
di.it the Canning Club girls and the 85
dll of honor” boys should occupy the
‘a pi to l steps, as they were to be
placed in a post of honor when the
ine of march was formed.
The entire thousand didn’t sit in the
ats of the mighty in the House in
■i p morning—only as many of them
- there were seats. The rest piled up
in ihe gill lories or stood in the aisles.
Highly Impressive Meeting.
p, it they all were '’ere. That sefem-
. <1 certain—and then the Canning Club
girls, and the dignitaries of state,-and
- id miring populace, filling in avail
able chairs.
It was highly impressive, in spite
i ho fact that there were a couple of
deviations from the established pro
gram.
To begin with, a telegram from
chancellor Barrow, of ‘he. State.Uni
versity, announced that serious ill*
upss in his family prevented him from
iming present. That was’sad, and. be
sides. it left a gap in the program;
that is. It would have left i gap hut
for the presence of mind of Walter
G. Cooper, of the Chamber of Com
merce, and J. Phil Campbell, head of
the Corn Club work in Georgia.
They got right together and filled
that gap ’ •‘*h n series of "'resent° +,r *n;
of youthful and in some eases embar
rassed and wriggling hero of the
Corn Club, who even made some
snoeches themselves; while little Miss
Krqn Dooley, expert tomato grower,
made a rattling good talk and wasn’t
bashful at all.
Then the Governor wasn’t in town,
and couldn’t sign the 85 diplomas, so,
• i course, they couldn't be presented.
But the names were read out of all
the boys who made 100 bushels or
more to the acre, and I>r. A. M. Soule
assured the boys the diplomas would
lie sent them, and all tied with red
and black ribbon, too, emblematical of
thi State University.
Governor Provides Carriage.
For his part, the unavoidably ab-
sen’ Governor Slaton wired that he
had arranged for a carriage to repre
sent him in the parade in the after-
r.o'm. the vehicle to contain as pas-
smgers four leading members of the
Girls’ Canning Club. Those selected
were Miss Mary E. Creswell, Miss
Elizabeth Holt, Miss Clyde Sullivan
nd Miss Eron Dooley, the little hero-
l:C.
Wilmer L. Moore, president of the
• 'll am her of Commerce, presided, and
1 o did some lively talking himself.
Looking over the assembly, Mr. Moore
was moved to wonder how many of
the youngsters then occupying the
\ seats of Legislators would return in
tuture years to Atlanta to take up in
earnest the law-making duties of the
State. Then he said something pretty
hefty:
"It should always be remembered,”
**aid Mr. Moore, “that the legal pro
fession has no monopoly on states
manship. or even State law-making,
and our law-making bodies never will
be all. they should be until the pro
gressive and intelligent farmer and
the progressive and intelligent busi
ness man take their places in the leg
islative halls and look after the wel
fare of their own fields."
“A young crowd of hustlers,” M. L.
Brittain, State Superintendent of Ed
ucation. called the gathering, and
then he complimented them on be
longing to the “great middle class” of
people—the people neither of the froth
and foam nor of the drugs; the peo
ple who do things that move the
world. '
Soule Looks to Youth.
Dr. Soule, president of the State
College of Agriculture, stated that
the time was’coming when “the in
telligent use’ of land woiild free the
country of most of its burdens, and
make the farmer boy a dominant fac
tor in the development of all the re
sources of the world.”
Dr. Soule spoke in favor of rotation
of crops, showingthat where corn
absorbed a third of its value from the
mineral resources of the soil, cotton
took a seventh, and pigs, fattened on
the farm, removed only one-twenty-
r.fth of their selling price from the
soil.
Then Mr. Campbell had his inning,
;tnd gave a lot of the credit for corn
club success to the "dads," in re
futing some little thrusts to the ef
fect that the young idea had been
teaching its dad how to shoot, and
made a rattling good talk on the
corn club, and its growth, and it3
moaning to the State.
Then came the youngsters, and
maybe they didn’t hate it—to be
hauled up on top of a tall desk, and
nade the focus of attention! They
wriggled _and their ears got red, but
hey went through the ordeal like
‘oung heroes.
Boy, 10, Gets Big Reception.
There was Clarence Aired, of Pick-
ms County. Clarence is only 10
• ears old. and he probably would
">ave preferred to die rather than get
iP on that desk, but Mr. Campbell
I wo of the leaders in the Georgia Girl Canning Ginb Competition. Ont, 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 at a net profit 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
wati 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, ^Thereupon
Clarence's ears flamed again.
T'hen there was Marion Jackson
Hctii. the ,vin County bard, who
wrote out the entire Odyssey of his
corn-growing adventures in verse,
hut only read a couple of short pre
dictions of glory for Old Georgia,
and that sort of thin, yo\l know.
It was all right, too, and Marion
Jackson had a strong voice.
Then there was Grady Lee, 14
years old, of DeKalh 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 two 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.
He made a good talk, too, and was
cheered.
Miss Dooley Good Speaker.
After which Miss Eron Dooley,
Oconee’s champion tomato grower,
stood up very straight and cool—ev°r
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 hugelv
and cheered the youngsters, and th?y
enjoyed it, too, after it was over—
sort of like having a tooth pulled c 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 qgain, and hen
everybody went out to get soroiKhing
to eat before the parade.

Remarkable records had been
made by the girls in their canning
competitions, and. ns for the excel
lence of results, it appeared that the
mothers of the State would have to
look to their laurel If they did not
wish to be surpassed by their daugh
ters who are not yet out of their
“teens.”
Take Miss Clyde Sullivan, the young
champion, for example. She is from
Ousley. Ga., and raised the tomatoes
she canned upon one-tenth of an acre,
like the other contestants.
Here i:5 her story of what she ac
complished :
"I planted my tomato sc.ds Febru
ary 20. We have to keep a record of
everything we do, so as to make our
reports here, and that Is how I know.
Transplanted in March.
“Then It Was the last day of March
that I transplanted them. I put them
In rows 2 1-2 feet apart. I didn’t
have any trouble with them to speak
of. The Insects <*re the only thing
that bothered me a‘ all. and I kept
them picked off pretty clean all of the
time.
“The first fruit showed up on May
7. The first week in June the toma
toes began to ripen well.
“How many tomatoes do you think
I raised? Oh, you’re a poor guesser.
I raised just 5,854 pounds. That
wasn’t so bad. was It?
“Now. of course you couldn’t guess
how many cans of tomatoes I made
out of these 5.364 pounds. Let me see
—there were 212 No. 3 cans (they
hold a quart) and 2,254 No. 2s. The
No. 2s hold 22 ounces, or about twu-
tbirds of a quart.
“Besides all this. I put up 60 pounds
of ketchup and 50 pounds of tomatoes
In jars.
“The total cost of all the work —
the cultivation, the fertilizer, the cans,
etc.—totaled $80 22. My gross re
ceipts were $212.61, leaving me a no"
profit of $132.39.”
Miss Lela E. Dixon,iof Fayetteville
Fayette County, had excellent yield
and profits and turned in ono of the
best notebooks In the competition.
The exhibit counts for 40 points. «md
the 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 R. (Tesswell, of
Washington, in charge of the girls’
demonstration work that is carried
on by the Bureau of Plant Industry
and the General Education Board, has
been active in making the Georgia ex
hibit a success.
Though the Corn Show being held in
the corridors of the State Capitol is
conceded to be the largest Atlanta ever
has seen, Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi
dent. of the State College of Agriculture,
at Athens, and a leading llgure in the
work of the Stnte corn clubs, is of the
opinion that the 1914 show will be even
larger and better.
