University Extension
Course Is Organized

The organization of the University
Extension course for this city and vi
| cinity was perfected last Saturday.
Mrs. Edith Beaumont, instructor in
elementary education, representing
the university was present.
Three classes were organized, and
it is expected that from now on the
work will expand. 1t was not solic-
tied by the university, but has been
undertaken in response to a request
from the community.
Extension centerS are established
for the benefit of the teachers who
may be interested and anxious to be
ready to meet the daily problems in
their work.
County Superintendent Sara Reeve
has manifested great interest in the
enterprise and has been instrumental
in bringing about the recognition of
the community.
The Courses.
There are several courses in this
extension work, one Of which applies
especially to teachers and may be
termed educational.
Another course embraces German
and Spanish, and a third deals in
Fine Arts.
The educational course is under the
supervision of DR.. Jones, Mrs. Edith
Beaumont and Miss Pangburn.
Professor Smith has charge of the
course in Spanish and German.
Professor Rossiter Howard superin-
tends the coure in Fine Arts.
The Educational.

best material yet written on each
subject treated.
For instance, the tel series of three
hours each include school hygiene,
technical problems in education,
school administration, vocational
Training, critical education, high
school methods, elementary school
methods, research types, sex education
and special selection.

Grow Cowpeas Everywhere.

There is positively no excuse
why every farmer should not
grow cowpeas. They are little
trouble, grow any where. stand
worlds of abuse and grow you
money just the same.
After grain we SOW all the
land to them and make lots of
perfectly good hay, besides
quantity of peas we pick. Fol
sowing prefer the bunch vaiety
as they cut and handle so much
better. Then, too, they ripen
with the grass, hence the guam.
tity and quality of our hay is
increased. In every corn middle
we plant peas also, principallg
the running kind, as they are
later and have more time to
grow after the fodder is ripe.
We make lots of peas here and
as soon as corn is harvested we
begin turning under, and the
following year our crop in,
creased fully one-half. Frank

My Neighbor Brown

Brown, who thinks that he must
90 to town, come warm or cold,

A jolly, kindly man is he, but
wastes his time most recklessly.
His troughs are broken, fences

barn door. Out in the fields his
tools repose through all the win

up weak parts require, he does

something lack; the bones stick
up all down their back, and all
their ribs most plainly show-oh,
say, a hundred yards or so.
Such is my nelghbor, Farmer
Brown, who spends his winter
days in town, talking hard
times in shops and stores, while
his poor wife does up the chores.

DOING NOTHIN SIXTY DAYS.

At the beginning of the special session of the Legsla
ture the Courier predicted that would remain in session
the sixtyday limit regardless of whether little or much
was accomplished, and that prophesy is being verified
We knew that that bunch would hang to that ten dol
lars per day per dem until the constitutional limitation
marked the end of their raid impoverished treasury
1t was the Courers prediction, too that they would
eventually pass the bill prepared for them in advance and
that is also being verified
What strikes the ordinary observer most forcibly is
the waste of energy in doing nothing The 1873 men who
spending the sixty days at Frankfort bustng about
doing nothing for $40 day could just well have written
post cards, saying go ahead Gov, put any old thing
through you choose only don't forget to have the Journal
show that we were there earning our 5000 EACH"
What's the use of ruthessy tearing 1873 men from the
bosoms of their family just to be used as window dressing
for Stanys bunch of expert corporation tax dodgers wi
had the bill prepared months ago. Or powers of attor
ney, or proxies could have been sent.
It's an imposition upon the people to keep that crowd
fddmg around sixty days just to enscribe 'Thems my
sentiments" to law drafted by the State Tax League

The Country Needs a Big Corn
Crop This Year.

There ought to be big crop
Of corn produced this year. The
present and prospective shortage
of the winter grain crop makes a
big corn crop almost essential to
well-fed live stock and people
next winter. We would not ad-
wise any reader to plunge into
corn more than any other crop,
but we do believe it safe to urge
readers to give the corn crop the
best possible show this year and
to endeavor to produce an abund-
ant supply for their own needs
and at least a little surplus for
sale if this is at all practical.
No reader should forget, how
ever, that corn is a rich land
crop and that it seldom pays on
poor ground. Corn still remains
our greatest crop, but we are
not as dependant on it as we
once were. Land that cannot
reasonably be expected to pro-
duce twenty-five bushels of corn
to the acre had better go into soy
beans. Southern Agriculturist.
