WORK OF BOYS AND GIRLS.
President Harrison Of Southern Rail-
way Points out Fact That South
eln Boys and Girls do Better
Work Than Those in North and
West.

WdSNiIStOU, Lee. SS.-SOmment-
ing on the statement issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. showing the results attained by
the boys and girls who won prizes in
the Boys Corn Clubs and Girls Cam
ming Clubs in their respective States
in the season OF 1918, President Har-
rison, OF Southern Railway Com
pany, said today:
The work done by the boys and
girls in all Of the States was remark
able. it Is very gratifying to me to
note that first honors. both in the
Boys Corn Clubs and the Girls Can
ming Clubs held by Southern contest
ants The wonderful record
made by Jerry Moore. Of South Caro-
lima, who grew 228.75 bushels OF corn
on q single acre in 1910. directed at
tention to the great advantages Of
the Southeastern States as q corn
growing locality. Now comes Walker
Lee Dunson, OF Alabama, with q rec
ord Of 1897 bushels on q single acre,
setting O new mark for the members
Of the Boys Corn Clubs throughout
tho United States. The superiority
Of the Southeast for corn production
is demonstrated not only by Walker
Dunson's remarkable record but also
by the fact that the yields obtained
by the prize winning boys in each Of
the States OF Virginia, North Caroline,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Tennessee exceeded the highest yield
obtained by any boy in a Northern
or Western State.
"No less remarkable than the rec
ord made by Walker Dunson in tho
corn club work was that made by
Miss Clyde Sullivan, Of Georgia, who
grew 5,354 pound Of tomatoes on a
tenth of an acre. SURPRISING by t.
3Ti pounds the highest record made
by any girl III the North Or West
Other Southeastern girls did remark
ably we'll, notably Miss Lizzie Kel-
Icy. Of South Carolina, with a rec
ord Of 4,375 pounds on a tenth Of an
acre.
Taken as q whole, the records Of
the Southeastern boys and girls DEM
onstrate the superior agricultural
and horticultural advantage of the
Southeastern States, not only for
purely Southern crops, such az cot
ton and early fruits and vegetables.
but also for crop which are usually
associated in the public mind with the
North and West. They demonstrate
that the States south Of the Ohio and
and Potomac rivers and east Of the
Mississippi offer unsurpassed adv,n-
tages for the man seeking to engage
in profitable diversified agriculture"

Washington, Dec. 23.--More than
Q billion board feet Of timber, with
value of la million dollars on
the stump, was sold by the forest SER
vice last year. according to the an
nual report Of Henry 8. Graves, for
ester. published today. This Ia an in-
crease of 167 per cent over the sales
Of the preceding year. The timber
sold was largely for future cutting
under contracts that will run for q
number Of years. The actual cut was
little less than 500 million board
feet, an increase OF 10 per cent over
ia. Still larger sales are in pros
pect.
The timber sale policy Of tho for
est service is summarized as aiming
first OF oil to prevent losses by fire.
md secondly to utilize the ripe timber
which can be mar krted. Other aims
are. to cut so as TO insure restock-
!rg and forest permanence; to get the
aii market value for the timber sold;
70 prevent speculative acquisition and
priNate monopoly of public timber
ani 70 maintain competitive condi-
tions in the lumber industry 80 far
az possible; to provide first for the
needs OF local communities and in
dustries; to open lands Of agricultur-
al value to settlement without allow
ing them to be tied up by timber
specu!ators; and finally. to secure as
soon as possible the cost Of produc-
ton and administration to the gov
crnment and revenue to the nation
al forest States. to which go Is per
cent of all receipts.
A large number Of national forests
already more than pay operating ex-
penses. The revenue from the Alas
kan forests now exceeds the cost Of
administration. The same Is true
generally in the southwest
More than 700 thousand acres
have been acquired for national for
est purposes In the southern Appala-
chians and White mountains, OF
which considerably more than half
was secured during 1913. These
lands are being protected against
fire and the work OF the government
has greatly strengthened local senti-
ment against forest fires. Some ESQ
miles Of trail, to help in fire control,
were completed during the year.
Cooperation with States in protect
ing forested watersheds from fire has
brought about cooperative field Or

The Object Of This Organization Sea
Forth.

That the National Housewives
League, OF which all branches are
a part, was organized to meet a very
real need Of the present day, and
that its aims and objects are essen

q fact that should recommend 1t to
thinking people everywhere.

Housewives League Is now striving for

the mistress of the house, whether it
was OF the thrifty New England type

The supply OF meat came from
home-raised and home-butchered

the most elaborate dishes, was made
at home.
Now that We are ,at the present
inc, depending so largely upon cam
ned goods and delicatessen products.

read labels carefully. to see that the

price would all seem to be objects
which would. excite the interest and
recognition of all people who are not
satisfied to merely exist
With such purposes ae these In
view, it would seem that every city
and town in the State world desire to

The criticism has been made that
the work undertaken by the League

The work Of tho Housewives
League has nothing whatever to do
with the enfranchisement Of women,
but is in every particular concerned
with domestic interests. and raising
to higher level all the various
branches Of home-building, which
means a. pleasanter and more healthfui
