SOUTHWEST GEORGIA
UNIT FOR VEREEN

Atlanta, Fe3. PA formal written
argument urging the appointment of
Colonel w, C. Vereen of Moultrie as
United States Senator was presented
to Governor Slaton at the Capitol yes
tsrday b. Editor Thad Adams, one Of
the eladegs from the Vereen hea1quar-
ters which has bees estab ished here.
1t was a South Georgia appeal.
Southwestern Georgia is growing
faster than any other part of the
union" declared Mr. Adams, and has
larger white population and fewer
negroes perhaps than any other rich
agricultural section of the South. 1t IS
populated by an intelligent and enter
prising citizenry Yet it is the only
portion Of Georgia that has never had
the political recognition to which it is
entitled. Never in the history of the
state has this section had the honor o.
furnishing either a governor or
United States senator. Rich and liber-
al in its contributions to the support Of
the state this section has aided in ev-
cry way in promoting the advance
ment of Georgia, but when large polit-
ical honors are being distributed this
sections has always been left out
Roscoe Luke, former mayor Of
Townsville, who came very near be-
ing elected to congress from that dis
trict, came to Atlanta yesterday for the
special purpose of seeing the governor
and urging the Green appointment.
Congressman w. G. Brantley is also
among those who have endorsed it.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOLARSHIPS IN
STEAD OF TRIPS TO WASHINGTON
|. s. Department Of Agriculture Recommends The Former
As the More Valuable: Prize for Youthful Members of
the Agricultural Clubs

riculturaI course as the more desir-
able prize.
One of the first persons to raise the
question as to whether the practical
training or the more spectacular trip
was preferable, was Willie P. Brown
an Arkansas corn club prize winner.
Given his choice of all the prizes Of
fered by the state, including the trip
to Washington, he selected a scholar
ship giving him years tuition in an
agricultural school. This gave i'm
petus to the idea in Arkansas and now
the biggest annual prize offered the
corn club boys is a scholarship given
by the Bankers Association. The same
association gives a similar scholar
ship to the girl champion of the can
ming clubs.
Other suggestions regarding prizes
have been made from time to time by
those who have been most interested
in these clubs and understand the
needs of the boy and girl farmers
Some of these suggestions are offered
herewith for the consideration OF
others who might care to profit by

Two Weeks Course for County Prizes
While a years course with all el-
penses paid is the suggestion of the
department for the biggest prize for
state winners. less extensive courses
might be offered to county winners. 1t
has bsen suggested that such counties
as care to give prizes, give one or more
short courses in the state agricultural
and mechanical colleges to the FORUM
ate county champion. These courses
are usually only two weeks long and
are held in winter or in summer. Tne
training given is of the most practical
sort and the amount of time spent is
no guage of the amount of benefit to
be obtained. These short courses have
already been given as prizes by GER
tain counties, and have proved most
valuable to the young people
Large Cash Prizes Not Encouraged
Large cash prizes are not to be en-
couraged according to those who
have worked with the young contest
ants. Better suggestions are as fol-
lows:

More Fries Make More Contestants
In general it is better to offer many
small prizes than a few large ones. If
twenty boys try for prize and on y
one is fortunate, some of the nineteen
unsuccessful contestants will probably
/ be too discouraged to try again. But
J i five of the boys are rewarded foy
their efforts, more merit will have re-
ceived recognition and the remaining
fifteen will see more possible oppor-
uunities of success the following eyar
Some boards of trade and chambers
| OF commerce have also recognized the
efforts of the clubs, by giving banquets
for the young people and entertaining
them with street car and automobile
rides. On other Occasions clubs have
been honored by an invitation TO
march in parades, where they have at
acted deserved attention
A Trip to the State Fair.
From Memphis, Tennessee, comes an
interesting story which is sample OF
what has been done in other states for
young prize winners. In the three
states ARKANSAS, Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi), which are annually repre-
scented at the Memphis Tri-State Fair,
it was decided to send certain boy
prize winners to the fair as a reward
for their excellence.
A trip to fair is more or less
spectacular event as is the Washing
ton trip, but it gives the young farm
ers certain concrete agricultural ex-
perience, which they do not receive
from excursions to the sights of Wash
ington At the fair in question the
young men were housed on the fair
grounds in tents, two to four in each
tent, all in charge of men employed by
the state government to look after
their interests.

gram which kept them busy most of
the week of their stay. One day an
expert took the young men to view the
improved farm implements on display.
The boys were shown the machinery,
and tbs uses were explained Another
day a seed expert showed the boys the
exhibits Of seeds and gave them prac-
teal advice on seed selection. The
boys were taken in the same manner
to view the beef cattle and 9th live
stock. They were taught to pass
judgment en- the good qualities of the
animals. They were schooled in the
method of judging the best pigs, In
formal lectures were given at the camp
on these various subjects The young
men took back much valuable knowl-
edge with them besides having good
time.

new LOOSE
LEAF HOUSE
Well Known Firm Of Kirkpat.
rick & Clay To Build In The
Spring

The well known tobacco firm
of Kirkpatrick & Clay will begin
this spring the erection of mod
ern loose leaf tobacco warehouse.
Same will be located adjoining
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse
Co., on Sycamore street adpoin-
ing the railroad. 1t is reported
that house with a floor capaci-
ty of 100000 pounds will be con-
structed. The building CT this
house will be of great benefit to
the growers in this section, as it
will give floor capacity of handl-
ing over 100000 pounds every
day and will make four nice priz-
ing departments, ample to handle
all the tobacco that will be sold,
and at the same time will cause
to be brought here three or four
new buyers, as the new men IN
the loose leaf field are widely
known in tobacco circles through
out the country and will have a
strong pull in the way of securing
new buyers for this market. The
changes will cost about $4,000.
With Messrs Kirkpatrick & Clay
at the helm of a new loose leaf
market every effort will be made
to increase from 100000 mark
ct to a Io,ooo,o 900 market in an
other year and it can be done.
Work on the new improvements
will begin as soon as the weather
will permit.
