YOUNG FARMERS
AT HIGH SCHOOL
DO GOOD WORK
TRAINING IN FARM CARPENTRY
is NOW PART OF AGRiCUl.
TURAL COURSE.
CLUB HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
"Smith-Hu9hes Agricultural Club of
c. n. S." Hold Monthly Meetings,
and Is Conducted AS a Farmers Or
ganization As Nearly AS Possible.


Winter is not an Off season for the
boys in the agricultural department
at the Central High School.
Since. last year agriculture at the
High School has been taught by the
government plan. This plan requires
every boy enrolled in the course to
! farm under the supervision of the in.
structor on his home farm BY an
arrangement with the parents, the boys
pay their own way on the farm, and
what they make belongs to them.
This puts up to the boy the real bus,
mess proposition of getting a right
start in farming for himself, and the
boys who are encouraged to take the
agricultural course see it that way.
This year the boys have undertaken
much bigger projects" as their farm
work at home is called, than they did
last year. Most Of them own a bunch
Of hogs which they are feeding for
the spring market One boy is feed
ing beef cattle, another is getting a
start in the sheep business. High
priced corn and a tricky live stock
market have made the young farmers
do a lot Of scheming. They are on
the lookout for everything that will
save corn, from pasture to peanuts.
The written records each boy keeps
will show his profits when the pro-
jects are closed next fall.
Training in farm carpentry is now
a part OF the agricultural course The
boys are making such things as self
feeders for hogs and poultry, feeding
! troughs, and wagon jacks. Some like
this feature so much that they work
overtime in the shops
These Wide-awake young agricul-
turists believe in organization, too.
They have formed a club, and called
it the "Smith-Elughes Agricultural
Club of G. H. s." in honor Of the fed
eral law under which the agricultural
department at the High School is
maintained. This club has monthly
meetings and is run like a farmers
! club as nearly as possible. At It's past
meetings, it has been addressed by
Prof. ~ f. Fitzgerald, of the college
of agriculture, Knoxville, and County
1 Agent Mclean, of Maury county.
/. The group of farm boys who enroll
ed in the agricultural department last
year and this year are the first boys
in the county to prepare themselves
| for success in Maury county's great
/ est industry, farming, by taking a
course of training in vocational aeri-
culture at the high school. They have
locked ahead and made their own
choice of farming as their life's work,
They believe in themselves, in farm
ng and in the agricultural department
at the High School. Maury county
can count on the part these boys will
play in the future development of her
splendid agricultural resources.

DO A GOOD BUSINESS
COLUMBIA MULE CO. AND r. r

BIG AUCTIONS.

Second Monday in February did not

and many good pairs privately.

to say last week. This pen of mules
sold at an average of about $685.

SPRING FLOWING
FOR 0AT CROP
MOVING ALONG
INDICATIONS ARE THAT A LARGE
ACREAGE WILL BE sowN
FOR 1920.
HEAVY SALE OF SEEDS
past Week Afforded Maury Farmers
Splendid Opportunity to Prepare
Their Ground for the Introduction
Of the Seed.

The past week gave the farmers of
Aaury county splendid opportunity
to put in several days at blowing
preparing their ground for the 1920
crop of oats.
indications are that one of the larg.
est crops for years will be sown this
spring, owing to the fact that very
little wheat was sown in the county
last fall, and great deal of that that
was sown was frozen out, from the
fact that it was gotten in late.
Local seed dealers have been kept
quite busy for the past week or ten
days shipping out seed to the farm
ers throughout the county And the
fact that oat hay is selling on the
local market now from the producer
at $4,000 to $500 per ton is another
stimulus for large acreage.
