FARMER BOYS ENCAMPMENT.

There is proposition in Kentucky
to hold a farmer boys encampent at
the state fair in September. There
I are l20 counties in the state and it
is proposed to have a boy present
from every county. Every boy will
be given a free ticket to and from
his home and he will laIso be supplied
with tent and free meals during
the encampment.
The purpose of the encampment
is to afford the boys an opportunity
to atteud a school Of instruction and
demonstration in agriculture. The
bows will be selected for their special
fitness for representation by the su-
perintendents Of the public schools
by competitive examinations and
are to be between the ages of IL
and II. The examination papers
are to be passed upon by member
of the state board of agriculture
and a professor from the University
of Kentucky.
Of course it will be an occasion
of great amusement as well as en-
tertainment for the boys which will
make the instruction feature easy
and pleasant. They have corn clubs
in Kentucky just as they have them
in Georgia and the boys who have
gone into the corn growers contest
are likely to take especial interest in
the encampment exercises.
Professors from the university will
give instruction on topics of the farm
during the morning hours and in the
afternoon the campers will be shown
the exhibits of the fair and taught
the methods of judging and awarding
premiums.
The experience thus gained will be
highly beneficial to the young men
of this generation. 1t can but result
in the ultimate improvement of the
agricultural interests of the state.
The occasion will be something to
look back to in after life and the
lessons learned there in scientific
farming will be referred to contin-
ually and thus the good results of
the encampment will go on expand
ing.
Kentucky is a great agricultural
state and the example she sets in
progressive agriculture is a good one.
The suggestion of a similar encamp-
ment here in Georgia might be look
ed into. At any rate, the outcome
of Kentucky,s first farmer boys
encampment will be watched with
interest.
