3 TIIE ATLANTA 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. 1 Our Blood When in Healthy condition is composed of those elements that HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA Is es pecially adapted to presarva, re store and supply.
