carried in the front way in buck

thrown against the side of the

On last Saturday night as the

gineer discovered an object on
the track just ahead. Hastily
applying the air brake the train
was brought to a standstill with
in a few yards of two cross-ties
which had been placed on the
rails in such a manner that de-
railment would have been newt
able had the train not been STOP
ped upon the moment. The
work of putting the ties on the
track had been done by some one
who was on to his job and there
is no question about his inten,

to wreck the train there is moi
the least doubt, The train was
carrying a party which had beer

corner of Georgia. Now that he
has led the way the organization
should be kept up from year to
year. Here in Walker in 1912
we should have at least a hum
dred boys competing in the corn
growing contest, and the prizes
should total several hundred dol
lars. We do not believe we can
make a better investment than
to put up some handsome prizes
for the boys.
The boys of Walker have given
a good account of themselves in
the district corn contest and
there is a possibility that a Wal
ker boy may win the highest hon.
ors at Gainesville. and at Athens,
where they meet the winners of
the other districts. But the
greatest good that comes from
these contests is not the value of
the prizes won by one section
but the actual proof to the world
and to southern farmers and SOU
.;thern boys that southern soils
are as productive as any anG
that there is wealth in the ole

The vindications of an Old Field.

The winner in the Boys Corn
Growing contest in Walker coun-,
ty, the boy who made 214 BUSH
els of corn on one acre of land,
says in his report that the acre
of land he cultivated in this con,
test had been in cultivatin for
about fifty years and that under
the old system of farming usual
ly produced about thirty bushels
to the acre.
Yet this lad, working his acre
according to the best methods,
carefully selecting his seed, put.
ting the seed bed in splendid con.
dition, fertilizing the land heavi.
ly, tending it with every care,
was able to make 214 bushels Of
corn on one acre!
What a vindication for the
half-century-old field, and wha
an indictment for the ordinary
system of corn cultivation! Ant
when these boys. who easil,
raise 100, $50 and 200 bushels o
corn to the acre, at a cost of II
: cents a bushel up, become men
and this system of farming i
} the rule instead of the exception
what wealth is going to wrough
from Georgia fields every year!
