1000 BUSHELS OF CORN
ARE RAISED ON As ACRES
S. A. SIaton Furnishes Exam
Pile of Productiveness of
Whitfield County Lands

An example OF what Whitfield county
land can produce is shown in the crop
raised by S. A. Slaton on the farm of
George Hamilton.
Mr.. Slaton has raised 2.000 bushels
of corn on As acres of land and used
only 100 pounds OF fertilizer to the
acre.
\ In addition to the corn he has gath
cred IL bales of cotton from is acres and
says that he will gather nine more,
which will make 20 bales to the Is
acres or one and third bales to me
acre. He used 400 pounds of fertilizer
to the acre at a cost of 1888 to the
acre.
Mr.. Slaton is a great believer in thor
o1ghly sub-soiling and his crops are
proofs of the value OF such blowing.
Some of the land on which he grew
these crops a few years ago was worth
less because it was under water. but
with a system of good drain thing he
made the land worth as much as any
land in the county. The drain tile costs
about $50 per acre and he says there
are many cares In his county that are
valueless because of water but every
one Of them can be made worth great
deal by draining.

Needs of the Southern Farmers Boy"
. The welfare of country boys consti-
tute what is possibly the greatest prob
lem confronting the people of the south
today, declared Professor Richards. He
said there were 3.365OO0 of these boys OF
school age, and paid a tribute to farmer
boys, saying that despite their disad-
vantages and handicaps they have play
ed a splendid part in the development
of the country.
THE home, the school and the church
are the three great institutions which
are chiefly responsible for the education
of childhood asserted the speaker
Through these the child must get a
great deal of the many sided expert
ences of the race which constitutes a
large part of his education" he said,
These institutions must bring to him
those life experiences Which are noble
and elevating in their tendencies, and
keep away from him those experiences
which are ignoble and degrading in
their natude.
"One of the defects OF the rural
school Is the curriculum or the subject
matter taught in. them. / Here we hnd
served up from day to day and year to
year that same mental pabulem which
has been served to young minds ever
since. the Iuluuie ages anu very AblAe
recognition given to the needs Of the
ever-hanging civilization in which we
live. and the demands which IL Is making
upon the youth of our southland today.
Thus the training which he receives ID
of such a nature to cause him to be
narrow in his ideals. aims and purposes,
and at the same time to be strong in
his likes and disllkes.
we must have larger and better
equipped school buildings in rural dis
tricts. and this equipment made to meet
the needs of rural schools and not such
as is used In our city schools.

TWO MILLION OF BEES
SHIPPED FROM SUMTER

To move 100000 of busy bees would
seem an herculean task, but the job was
accomplished on the Broadfield farm
near Americas, a day or two ago, and
with apparent ease. There were just lO(
colonies of the busy honey-makers. and
each colony is estimated to contain 25.-
600 of the little "redhots," which would
make a total of 100000 in the shipment
from the Broadheld farm, which for
years has possessed one of the finest
apiaries in Georgia. Some time since
the Broadfield bee colony was sold in to-
to to one of the big florida apiaries. and
TIE transfer was made this week. The
bees were handled gently, and there was
no outbreak or rioting among the vast
army of singers.

The advisability OF selling cotton Sc I'd

shown repeatedly to be equivalent in
feeding value to ton Of seed. If
you can secure from s16 to SIS for your

If you can. exchange your seed for meal.
On the basis of say s23 ton for meal

the farmer secure the best possible re-

for meal or selling them direct and
buying meal to take their place is the
best policy for the farmer. The meal
should be fed so as to make a profit

farmer is sometimes neglecting to make
his seed pay him much more than he

Laticnal convention of state insurance
commissioners. In addition to nearly

President Button said that ar inves.

1tteeu companies doing health and ac.
cicent business resulted in disclosures
that were shocking in the extreme.
Instead OF basing the adjustment OF
claims upon equitable principles" said
Mr.. Button, some OF the companies
examined resorted to every form OF
rickery and deceit and even to forg-
cry and theft in order to escape their
honest obligations. This was all the
more outrageous in view of the fact
that these frauds were perpetrated up.

GREAT RIVALRY IN
SCHOOL EXHIBITS
Pupils Of the State viii Compete in
Handlcraft at the West Michi-
gan State Fair.

Education is the keynote of the
West Michigan State Fair, the annual
exposition of which will be held at
Grand Rapids, Sept. IL to Is. In all
branches the effort of the fair is to
bring before the people of the state.
educational exhibits In an educational
manner. Therefore no such exposi-
ton could be considered complete
without an exhibit of the work of the
pupils in school. A large section has
been set apart for this exhibition and
each year the school exhibits have
been growing larger and better. This
year promises to be the banner year
in this department, over which L. r..
Abbott superintendent of manual
training in the Grand Rapids public
schools, Is superintendent.
There are classes for all grades of
city and country schools and for all
kinds OF work. Liberal premiums are
offered and the rivalry extends not
only between the children exhibiting
the work, but between schools and
between cities and towns.
Tuesday is the big day for the chill
dren. On this day all pupils under IA
years of age are admitted to the
grounds for Is cents and on this day
the school exhibits attract thousands
of children anxious to see their own
work compared with the work of their
fellows, and thousands of fond par
ents who may well look with pride
upon the handiwork of their little
sons and daughters and anxious to
see the blue, red and other colored
ribbons and cards placed upon their
work.
This year the rivalry between
schools and between cities and towns
Is more intense than ever. Aside
from the large exhibits from the
schools of Grand Rapids, entries have
been received from numerous outside
cities and towns, among them be-
ing Sparta, Bay City, Manistee, Iron
wood, Calumet, Cedar Springs, Stan
ton and others.
This big educational feature, in
which the public-spirited men back of
the fair are especially interested, ia
an education and revelation to Mich
igan. 1t always attracts immense
crowds and should not be overlooked
by anybody visiting the fair.
