WiIlie's Peril

Apropos of the opening of the
schools and colleges, DR.. G. Stanley
Hall, president of Clark University.
said at a dinner in Worcester:
I'VE all incline to think our own
seat of learning the best one, but we
should beware of this inclination, for
in its nature it is unpleasantly like
the letter a Worcester school-ma am
received the other day:
Dear Miss Teacher-Please do
not push Willie too hard. for so
much of his brains is intelleck that

PROSPERITY

There are fine, fat and prosperous
times ahead in Georgia.
Not even the present long dry spell
can wilt the enthusiasm over the
prospect of a good summer and a
splendid fall.
There are signs on every hand
Men who are interested in the live
stock raising industry in the south
ern part of the state have just met
at Quitman and they report an out
look for excellent business. Pecan
growers, in session at Thomasville,
are confident of a large crop this fall.
Peach and fruit growers, in meeting
in Macon with the railroad officials,
declare that the production of fruit
in Georgia this summer is going to
mean thousands and thousands of dol
lars. More than $500 cars will be
handled by the Central of Georgia
alone.
Congress will soon adjourn, and
that will cause big business to oper-
ate more eaisly. The commercial
world is already adjusted to the new
tariff and to the currency reform,
and the regional banks are going to
make the circulation of money freer
and easier. Out West a bumper
wheat crop is assured, and up north
the mills are running overtime. All
of this will have a resultant and bene-
fetal influence in Georgia.
The people of Georgia have right
to be enthused over the certainty of
good times in the state for at least
another year; and there is no reason,
for that matter, why there should
ever be let up.-Macon (Ga.) News.

THE LESSON OF THE DROUGHT
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work

The long spell of drought that the
farmers of this state have been ex-
periencing for the last seven or eight
weeks, while to all appearances 1t
would seem to be a calamity, still
there is no doubt whatever but that 1t
is a blessing in disguise, for 1T shows
up very conclusively the splendid re-
suits of the farmers engaged in the
demonstration work. You can today
travel the state of Florida over and
from the train or whatever convey
ance you are in, you can tell the
farmer who is growing his crops I'M
der demonstration methods. He is
not worrying much about the dry
weather because he had his land well
prepared for deep blowing, thorough
soil pulverization and a good seed
bed before planting time. Over and
above that, he is instructed to keep
up constant cultivation as shallow as
possible. This, in itself, shows results
that few years ago were not belyiev-
able.
We get daily results from the diff
ferent parts of the state along this
line. In the western part of the state
the dry weather has been more pro-
longed than in the eastern. The re-
suits obtained are surprising, indeed.
Next year we expect to have at
least rs per cent of the counties in
the state in this demonstration work.
We are now we'll equipped to take
care of anything along that line The
district agents are all the time in the
field, visiting county after county, and
seeing what the county agents are
doing and visiting the farmers en-
ployed in this work.
While the number of counties at
present engaged in this work is not
as large as we would like, as indicat.
ed, this number will be largely in.
creased after the first of the next
fiscal year, which begins July 1.

SECURE WANDER
eILT FOREST

The national forest reservation
commission has just approved the pur-
chase of the Pisgah Forest from the
estate of the late George w. Wander
bilt, at an average price of five dol
lars an acre. The tract consists OF
$4,000 acres and the total cost is
therefore $433,500 The price is less
than the average for other tracts al
ready acquired although the Pisgah
Forest has been developed by its for
mer owner into one of the best forest
properties in the country.
This is the second tir that the
commission has had the Q..rchase III
this tract under COAST leration. Once
before, during Mr.. Vandrbilt's 'iie-
time, the question of it's purchase was
taken up, but the commission did not
deem it advisable to purchase 1t at
that time.
The tract includes portions of Tran
sylvania, Henderson, Buncombe, and
Hayward counties, in North Carolina.
1t covers the entire eastern slope anil
portion of the northen and western
slopes of the Pisgah range one of the
most prominent of The southern Ao-
palachians. It's forests influence for
the most part tributaries of the
French Broad river which unites with
the Holstein river at Knoxville. Tenn.
to form the Tennessee river.
Mrs. Vanderbilt Makes Offer
Mrs. Vanderbilt offered the tract at
a much lower figure than that at
which it was held by her husband,
and in her letter to the secretary of
agriculture, one of the members OF
the commission, she gives her rea-
sons for making the tender of the
Pisgah forest to the government, the
main one of which is that the govern.
ment use it for national forest pur.
poses.
In her letter, Mrs. Vanderbilt says:
"In the event that my offer is ac-
cepted, shall be glad for the govern.
ment to assume control of Pisgah for
est as soon as it may desire. In the
same event, it would be source of
very keen qualification to me if the
tract retained, as a national forest,
the title of Pisgah Forest, which my
late husband gave it."
Government Will Continue Name
In accordance with Mrs. Wander.
bits desire, the national forest reser.
walton commission will retain the
name of "Pisgah Forest" in fact, the
general area, in which this forest is
located and in which other purchases
may be made, is already designated
as the "Pisgah Area" 1t is proposed
also to make it a game refuge for the
preservation of the fauna of the east
ern mountains. 1t is particularly well
suited for this purpose, since it is al
ready well stocked with game and
fish, including deer, turkey and pleas
ant, and in the streams rainbow
trout and brook trout, with which they
have been Systematically stocked
from year to year.
Members of the commission look
upon this as the best purchase which
has yet been authorized, because the
forest is in the finest possible condi-
ton, and less than three-tenths of one
per cent can be classed as burned
over land. The price, too, is lower
than the average paid for all lands
which have been acquired heretofore.
