Crittain, 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 dregs; the peo ple who do things that move Ihe world Soule Looks to Youth. Dr. Soule, president of the State ■'allege of Agriculture, stated that '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 n f crops, showing that where corn absorbed a third of its value from the mineral resources of the soil, cotton ' fk a seventh, and pigs, fattened on ‘he farm, removed only one-twenty- f, f!h of their selling price from the Then Mr. Campbell had his inning, ’ d gave a lot of the credit for corn 'bib success to the “dads,” in re futing some little thrusts to the ef- f‘ f, t that the young idea had been teaching its dad how to shoot, and made a rattling good talk on the ’■'Tu club, and its growth, and its meaning to the State 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 left is Miss Josephine Simms, Floyd County’s fairest young canning girl. before tho admiring populace h i >*ri1 herf*t*e *«»ewd-Almira That that didn’t give him a chance to die. He was grasped under the arms and ele vated. before tho admiring populace before and whe little bit ofTaVTioy had made 163 bush els of corn* v bn his,.tfrey gave* hijn 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.

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. | Prices on New I $15 to $25 Suits 5 Coats & Dresses a* Drop Down, I Down, Down to I $ i Our lood When in healthy condition is composed of those ©Itments that HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA is es pecially adapted to preserve, re store and supply. *5 It in made tip largely of red and ; white corpuscles—red to nourish and sustain the body—white to protect j the body against disease.
