Canning Clubs
Are Increasing
Widespread Interest in he Work TlronghOui
the State.

Athens, Ga, April Is. Miss
Mary Carswell, head Of the extern
sion work Of the associated system
Of the state college, and the COVER
ment organszer Of the girls canning
and tomato clubs in this state, has
received applications from fifteen
more counties in the state that can
be organized fos clubs to be estab-
lished. The applications are especial
" urgent, in most instances eviden-
deneihg the interest and earnestness
Of the girls in the wcrk For lack Of
funds to take in new territory these
counties cannot be organized this
year.
Twenty-eight counties have been
organized for this year s work in the
girls canning climbs and Miss Cres-
well believes that there viii be Il
great improvement over last years
good work. There are twenty-seven
local agents appointed and at work
in the twenty Eight counties. There
are nearly three thousand girls en-
rolled in the several clubs which are
ready for this years contests and
fifteen hundred Of thai. number have
been assembled by counties into five
groups, for effective corporation.

Gradually the farmers q Lee
countysare coming 70 . realization
81 tho need Of raising their own I'VE
stock. Especially is this true IN re-
gard to the raising Of mules, which
are needed most Of all in the work
ion the farm.
In the last few years the number
lof mules raised here has appreciablv
Increased. Some farmers in the
county have raised practically all
the mules they needed to make their
crops. That the interest in this
important phase Of farm work IS
growing is a most encouraging one.
Live stock raising on Georgia
farms should embrace not only the
raising Of mules butalso hogs, cows,
beef cattle and horses. The need
Of these is felt, If course, but the
greatest need Of all is that is mules
and horses, which have such q vital
relation to the Cultivation of the
crops. 1t is III this particular that
the farmers Of the county need to
devote themselves more diligently
to stock raising.
As an instance Of what can be
done in the way ofstock raising, es-
pecially al regards mules, there are
two farmers "a Lee county who for
the past ten years have raised on
the average 81 900 werth 81 mules
and horses each year This is no
unusual record for any farmer who
will devote himself to livestock
raising. The two farmers referred
to are Messrs. ]. r. Long and II 4.
Long, Jr.
A suggestion has been made here
that the farmers Of the county or
ganize and form themselves into n
livestock association, This has
bsen done with excellent results in
other counties. She advantages Of
such an organization are manifold
1t would serve to bring the farmers
Of the county together for the pnr-I
pose Of discussing livestock raising
and Of exchanging helpful ideas with
each other Itwould serve to keep
alive interest in this vital farm
work.
In other counties the work Of the

Grand Jury Will Have A
Wsighty Matter Before Il
MESSENGERS FAVOR THE CHOICE OF COMMISSIONERS
ny THE GRAND JURY-MATTER WILL BIZ
CONSIDERED.
CONSIDERED

=
When the grand jury Of the Lee
County Superior court meets here az
the spring term Of that court tins
month a matter Of special consldera-
ton for that body will be the pro
posed change in the method Of Sc
Letting the county commissions rs o.
road and revenues.
AS IS generally understood there
can be no change in the method y
selecting these commissioners until
a bill has been introduced - the
general Is emily Of Georgia and
passed, providing for this change
It is understood that such bill VI !
be framed by Representative y ?.
Lee Of this county and that he will
present it for passage at the session
Of the legislature next summer
n
IN the mean time the action q
the grand jury and its attitude To-
ward the change will be Of interest
The grand jury may either recon-
mend OF fail to recommend this
change. It may also consider the
ACCESSIBILITY Of the eounty's issuing
bonds. This matter it will likely
pass upon either favoEbly Or I'M
fAvorably. There seems but little
doubt that both Of these matters
will come up for consideration BY
the grand jury.
In the light Of the recent state
ment of three members ofthe board
ofcounty commissioners, as reported
in the last Issue Of the journal by
Mr.. Hines, the matter Of the pro
posed change will come before the
grand jury as favored by the county
commissioners. This uillhaye nat
urally strong influence with the
members Of the grand jury.
1t seams but natural inference
to say that the grand jury will pass
fayorably upon the proposed change.
For it is not only true that tire
fourths Of the county commissioners
have declared themselves publicly
in favor Of The change, but tits pro
baby a conservative guess to say
that three-fourths Of the people Of
Lee county have done the same
thing. There can be no doubt that
the people Of the county are anxious
