It was highly impressive, in spite

Soule Looks to Youth.
Dr. Soule, president of the State

'he time was coming when “the in
telligent use of land would free the
ountry 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

absorbed a third of its value from the
mineral resources of the soil, cotton

Two of the leaders in the Georgia Girl Canning Club 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 big cheer of the day. Whereupon
Clarence's ears flamed again.
Then there was 'Marion Jackson
Hall, the Irwin County bard, 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, j
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 tlie 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,
Cconee’s 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 hugelv
and cheered the youngsters, and th?v
enjoyed it, too, after it was over—
sort of like having a tooth pulled cr
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 rorr<® ling
to eat before the parade.
Prizes Announced.
Announcement of the prize winners
was made by J. Phil Campbell, of the
United States Department of Agri
culture and head of the corn club
Commissioner of Agriculture
Price and Miss Eron Dooley,
both of Oconee County and both
proud of it. Miss Eron, who is
only 11 years old, packed 1,415

Remarkable records had been
made by the girls in their canning
competitions, and, as for tho 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 is 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 were the only *hing
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 tomatpes do you think
I raised? Oh, you’re a poor guesser.
I 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 made
out of these 5.354 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-
thirds of a quart.
“Besides all thlR. 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, of Fayetteville.
Fayette County, had excellent yield
and profits and turned in one of tho
best notebooks in the competition
The exhibit counts for 40 points, and
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 E. Cresswell, 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 he’d 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 n leading figure in the
work of the State corn clubs, is of the
opinion that the 1914 show will be even
larger and better.
