TERRELL PULLED OFF PRIZE
SECOND MONEY IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA CORN CONTEST.
Thomas County Beat Terrell by Four
Bushels, and Was Awarded
the First Prize.

the FIRST Prize.
To Thomas county belongs the
honor of producing the largest yield
of corn reported to the judges in
the Albany Herald's Southwest Geor-
gia corn-growing contest Tuesday.
Mr.. w. M. Saunders of that county
was awarded the first prize, 800,
offered by the Albany Herald for the
largest yield of corn grown on one
acre of ground. His prize acre, duly
certified to by three reliable wit
nesses, was measured and it's yield
carefully weighed. Counting 10
pounds to the bushel, the standard
for slip-shucked corn, Mr.. Sanders
acre produced the remarkable yield
of 109 11-70 bushels.
Mr.. H. T. Bridges of Terrell coun-
ty won the second prize, $50, with
a yield of 105 $40 bushels.
Mr. T. F. Ford of Lee county won
third prize, $25, with yield of 102
II bushels.
Another Terrell county man, Mr.
G. F. Smith, gave the winners
CLOSE rub for their honors and
money, as he came fourth with a
yield of SO 2-5 bushels on an acre.
Some of the other entries, with the
yield of each, were: ]. R. Davis,
Lee county, SO bushels; w. j. Pin
son, DOugherty county, rs bushels;
M. A. McRainey, Baker county, 76
bushels; l.. G. Hannah, Dougherty
county, Is bushels; Frank Lawton
(col) Dougherty county, SO bush
els.
In the boys contest for the best
yield on an acre j. L. Jenkins of
Worth county led with 70 bushels
and was awarded the first prize of
800; M. j. Kidd of Baker county
grew 60 bushels and won second prize
of $50, and R. H. Sumner of Early
county grew 60 bushels and got the
third prize of $25.
Dawson Contest and Its Influence on
Albany Contest.
The Albany Herald, in it's account
of the interesting event in that city,
said:
Many farmers who originally en-
hibits today. Although they secured
splendid yields from their prize
acres they realized that they could
not win any of the prizes for the
reason that farmers entered in a con-
test at Dawson had made over 100
bushels to the acre, and it was known
that these farmers intended to en-
ter the Albany contest. Col. j. R.
Mercer of Dawson offered prizes for
the best yield of corn on one acre,
and the publication in October of the
results of this contest resulted in
loss of interest on the part of many
who had entered the Albany con-
test The Dawson prize winners are
all entered in the Albany contest,
and have samples of their corn on
exhibit today"
MIR. Bridges Apparent Discrepancy.
Mr.. H. T. Bridges, who missed
winning the first prize in the Albany
contest by about four bushels, be-
ing credited with a yield of 105
5l-7O bushels, won the first prize of
$50 in the Terrell county contest,
when his yield was reported to be
40 $3.50 bushels.
The discrepancy between the num-
Der of bushels in Dawson and Albany
lis explained by the fact the standard
weight of 70 pounds to the bushel
for slip-shucked corn governed the
contest in Albany, while here 70
pounds of Mr.. Bridges corn that was
shelled weighed more than bushel
and he was given proportionate credit
on the remainder in arriving at the
total yield.

THE NEEDS or THE SCHOOLS.

The schools of the city reopened yesterday,
with repetition of the same old story OF made
ouate or improperly apportioncd facilities ana
consequent overcrowding and many children on
part time Perhaps it is inevitable. Perhaps.
as some persons have argued. though we GER
tainly do not cOncede it, part time is as good
as whole time But the facts are that the head
Of the present administration condemned his
predecessor unsparingly for the prevalence OF
such conditions. describing part time as gross
wrong to the children and TO the public, for
which no explanation or excuse was TO he
accepted and which his new administration
would promptly correct; and that now, after
term of years in which every member or the
Board of Education has become an appOintee or
the present administration the same evil still
exists in probably greater proportions tnan ne
fore. The Mayors philosophical mind must
perceive the dilemma in which he is placed, OF
either having criticised and condemned his
predecessor lmiustly for something which was
beyond his responsibility, or having himself I'M
rosed upon the city wrong for which no eA-
planation or excuse can be accepted. For our
mart we do not believe that It is Impossible
TO overcome this evil and to provide sufnclent
school accommodations for all the children.
That we should say. is the first need or the
schools The second is that the great majority
OF children shall receive the most efficient IN
struction in the fundamental branches OF learn
ing. The Superintendent Of Schools rs reported
as putting in first place the problem now 10
get the average retarded children more rap
idly through the grades That is no doubt
a highly important question. But problem
which concerns a small minority can scarcely
surnass one which radically concerns the great
majority. The extension Of summer schools Is
perhaps important and the establishment oil
trade schools is to he considered-casefully anu
