Results of 1911.
During the season of 1911 ninety
six counties in the state were organ
lied with an enrolment of five thous-
and members. Methods of instruction
on preparation of the soil, cultivation
of the crop fertilizers, homemade ma
nures and seed selection, were sent to
the boys during the year. These IN
structions were carefully studied and
at the close of the season report was
rendered by large per cent. of boys,

Georgia is the only state that In

1910, and excepting South Carolina
shows the greatest increased yield of
any state above its ten-year average.
1t is important to remember in this
connection that the drought through
out Georgia was unusually severe in
1911. Hence the yield obtained is all
the more remarkable. In spite of this
fine showing, Georgia still has the
lowest average production of corn per
acre, and our boys must exert them
selves to place her in the vanguard
where she properly belongs.
There were twenty-five boys in the

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1i.-PresIdent

with respect to the question whether
Judge W. c. Hook of Kansas will be con-
firmed for the supreme court of the
United States. The president several days
ago Let it be known he intended TO ap-
point Judge Hook and he has satisfied
himself that Hook will be confirmed.
without question there Is TO be strong
opposition TO the confirmation OF Judge
Hook, but the indications are that his
confirmation cannot he prevented, In
quiry among influential members of the
senate judiciary committee makes IL clear
that unless there should be revelations
showing the personal unftness of Judge
Hook for the place he VIII get favor
able report from that committee, and II
the committee reports favorably con-
firmation will follow.
Certain attacks have been made in n
personal way against Judge Hook and 1t
Is declared In Judiciary circles II these
are shown TO be true he will never be
allowed 10 serve on the supreme court.
but considering Judge Hook case solely
from the standpoint OF his decisions IL IS
asserted both by conservatives and pro-

his nomination will go through.
