SHOULD VOTE FOR MEASURE.

An item of interest to the voters
of the Blue Ridge Circuit in the
election Nov. 2, is that of an increase
in the salary Of thte Solicitor Gen
eral. An increase of $500 in the
salary was allowed by the last legis-
lature but it requires a vote of the
citizens of the Blue Ridge Circuit to
complete the measure. Under it
each county Of the seven will contrib
ute equally to the increase. The
money to meet the increase will come
from fines and forfeitures in the
courts and will not be direct tax
money. That is, the increase does
not obtain till the fines and forfeit
lures will pay it. The salary of the
solicitor in the Blue Ridge Circuit
is small and the expense of travelling
over the big territory make it neces-
sary that he have larger salary.

TRAINING THE LIVE
STOCK JUDGING TEAM.

| wish to reproduce a recent state
ment from the Georgia State College
of Agriculture concerning the train
ing of the live stock judging team so
that the club members and others in
this county can see what progress
the team is making. Since one of
our Cobb County boys is a member of
this team, we are all very much in
terested in the progress these young
fellows are making in their prepara-
ton for the final test.
at will be interesting to the club
boys and girls of Georgia to know
how the team that is to represent
them at the Southeastern Fair, At
lanta, Georgia, this fall in the Live
Stock Judging Contest is getting
along. 1t will also 6e interesting to
know that club teams will be there
from far away Nebraska and other
northern and western states. Prac-
tiCally all the southern states will be
represented by fire well-trained
teams, which will make the competi-
ton very keen. The team that wins
the trip to the Royal Live Stock Show
in England will have to be on its toes
all the time and put out a class of
judging that would do credit to any
college team.
"The Georgia team consisting of
Karl Hall, Boston, Ga; and Rofe
Henderson, Della, Ga, are wide
awake young chaps and are taking
advantage of every opportunity Civ
en- them to get into fine shape for the
contest. They realize that they have
a tough job on hand to beat the other
teams, but they are determined to
win. They have studied at the col
lege for about a week, have toured
the state studying some of the best
herds of cattle, hogs, and flocks of
sheep that are in the state. They
have also had an extended trip
through Tennessee, Kentucky and
Ohio, studying some Of the best herds
in these states. They also took in
the Ohio State Fair at Columbus,
spending about three days there in
| hard earnest work.
SIN addition to the above the boys
are now engaged in studying some
live stock books. Prof. Kohldol of
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture, who is training them, reports
that they are getting along fine and
that he will be very much dsappoint-
ed if they do not win.
"The counties in which these boys
live are responsible in very fine
way in helping finance the training
of these boys. The county agent in
/ each of these counties, assisted by
his district agent, is raising $4,000
to help in paying the expenses of this
training.
