Christmas Bazaar Great Success.

The annual Christmas bazaar held by
the seminary seniors, assisted by the
under classes, in Academy hall Wednes-
day was success in all ways, and
about $50 was cleared for the class
treasury. The arrangements and deco
rations of the booths were original and
unusually effective. Fancy work in
variety was sold at large booth in the
center of the hall, decorated in pyra-
mid effect with streamers of green and
gold, the senior class colors, and laven-
der and gold, the junior colors. Miss
Ruth Famum, 1916, Miss Ruby Howe,
1916 and Miss IIetty Haven, 1917, pre-
sided. Two tables in green and gold
were in charge of Miss Eta Thomas,
1916. and Miss Eunice Heath, who dis
pensed tempting articles of cookery.
At a corner booth where a realistic
representation Of snow was made with
the help of cotton batting and snow
sparkle, the sophomores served ice
cream. This booth also was made gay
with the class colors, blue and white.
Miss Ethel Aufort and Frederick But
Ter of 1918, presided. In the opposite
corner the candy booth, in charge of
Miss Cora Parker, 1919, and Miss Ruth
Palmer, 1919, was tastefully trimmed
with the freshman colors, old rose and
green. A large crepe paper parasol
ruffled with the two GplOrs was raised
over the booth. The stock of home
made sweets was large, but quickly dis
appeared.
On tine stage a postoffice was erect
ed, where all who paid postage received
a parcel post package, which upon be-
ING opened, caused much merriment.
Harold Haskell, 1916, Leroy Spiller,
1916, and Merrill Sparks, 1917, acted
as office clerks. A bean guessing con
test in charge of Ross Newell, 1916,
and Arthur Cutler, 1916, was of gener-
al interest. The purchase of a bag of
popcorn entitled the purchaser to one
guess, the prize being the choice of one
of three articles from G. c. Robinson S
store. The correct number of beans
in the bottle was l470 and Guy Haw-
kins, with guess of l4l4, was the win
ner, taking a handsome travelling bag.
Late in the evening the few articles
remaining unsold were disposed of by
auction and marching was enjoyed by
the students

some BENEFITS OF
SMITH-LEVER FUNDS
Andrew M. souie, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

In that section of south Georgia
where the boil weeviI has so unex.
pectedly appeared, there Is much work
to be done to lead cotton farmers into
raising other crops and to instruct
them in the best methods of cotton
production under those conditions. It
is therefore, very gratifying to the
farmers and business men Of that sec
ton to find that just such service is:
provided through the Smith-Lever
funds. With these funds experts can
be employed to go among the farmers
and render the very practical help
that Is needed. The foresighted farm
er knows by this time what he may
expect from the boil weevil. This type
or farmer Is, therefore, ready to be
advised. The backward and unpro-
gressive farmer will not believe that
the boil weevil will harm him until
the harm Is done, but eventually he
Will be very willing to receive advice
as to what he must do.
Smith-Lever funds have been instru-
mental in saving hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars worth of hogs during
the past year, through the demonstra-
ton agents inducing the farmers to
use cholera serum and by the agents
themselves applying it. The agents.
OF course, are supported in part by
Smith-Lever funds.
All that the county demonstration
agents have done to advance farming
in Georgia, all that they have saved
the farmer not only with cholera Sc
rum, but by spraying for the destruc-
ton of insect and fungous pests and
cattle tick eradication; all that they
have saved in regard to the use Of
fertilizers; the better crops they have
demonstrated can be made by improv-
ed methods Of cultivation; the tmprov-
ed and labor saving machinery they
have been instrumental in introducing;
the pure-bred animals they have
brought into the state; the cereal
crops they have led the farmers to
cultivate. the legumes, the fruits, the
truck-all the millions Of dollars they
have saved or created is only very
small iota Of what the state pays for
1t through the Smith-Lever funds.
In addition there are the boys corn
clubs, the girls canning clubs, the pig
clubs. poultry clubs, four-crop clubs.
the domestic science work.
Besides there are the field experts
that travel from the College doing
work in demonstrating in cereals, fer
tilizers and methods of cultivation on
various soil types; experts also in
beef production, dairying and hog
cholera control.
For-every dollar that the state puts
up for projects of the Smith-Lever
funds, it gets another dollar from
the United States treasury, in
amounts that increase gradually till the
full limit is reached. None of the
money can be used for teaching pur-
poses. 1t must be spent out among
the farmers. 1t is, therefore, the
farmers money.
