"Corn Clubs" and
Southern agriculture.

To the tate DIR. Seaman \. kunrp
and the cooperative farm demon
stration work he so successfully
conducted much OF the new spirit
of Southern agriculture is due. DR..
Knapp was not only a great or
ganizer. but also a great advertiser.
He put his men to work on the
farms of the South teaching and
demonstrating better methods of
cultivation, seed selection, and fei-
tilization; he organized the boys as
well as the men into Corn Clubs
and other clubs to try for big
yields; and then to let the whole
country know just what he had
accomplished.
The names OF Jerry Moore. Bonnie
Beesou. and other Corn Club prize
winners became familiar to men
and women all over the country,
along with their big yields-22S and
227 bushels to the acre, respectively.
for the two boys named.
1t is doubtful if any other one
thing has done as much to bring a
realization of the possibilities of
Southern soils TO the country at
large as has this farm demonstra-
ton work. IL has brought this
same realization to thousands of
Southern farmers also. and has
given them an entirely new concep
ton OF their otion and their call
ing. And this new appreciation OF
the possibilities and the rewards of
farming is just as potent a factor
in the remaking of Southern rural
life as is the knowledge OF better
methods of doing farm work
Southern farmers, and the whole
are beginning to see that
the small average yields of south
ern staple crops are not necessary
and permanent, but are only the
results of poor farming by this and
past generations of farmers THIS
kno Wedge carries with it the con-
viction that the methods and prac.
tees OF past wears must he changed.
The South owes "A debt OF gratitude
to DR. Knapp and his co-workers,
not only for what they accomplish.
Dut also Tor the fact that they told
.olks about it. From THE New

SENTENCES WOMAN
FOR FIRST Time
Judge Connolly Has New Expe-
rience in Case Of Florence
Wick, Confirmed Thief

When Florence Wick, a pretty girl
of lS, faced Judge Connolly, Saturday
noon, for sentence on the charge OF
breaking parole, the interesting fact
was revealed, that Judge Connolly, in
all OF his years on the bench in De-
troits highest criminal court, had
never sentenced a woman to imprison-
mentsr--
You are the first woman that |
have ever sent To prison." said the
Judge, TO the Wick girl.
II was only after exhausting every
effort 10 reform the girl, that the
Judge finally decided TO send her TO
the House OF Correction for six
months.
The girl was first arrested for the
theft of $50. She Pleaded that she
had been dazzled by an actor In vau-
deville houses. and stole the money
TO spend on him. She was paroled, in
charge OF William II. Venn. She re-
peatedly told false stories to the pa
role officer, the Judge says, stating
that she was working. when she was
not. and also failing TO report when
required.
Finally she was arrested for thefts
OF money and goods from three dlffer-
ent homes, where she had been en-
ployed as a domestic. Then the
Judge decided TO sentence her.
