THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

their liberty to vote. and. although
the women OF Atlanta were given the
liberty to vote by city authorities
in a municipal election nearly two
years ago, still on second day of No
vember. 1920. they were debarred
from voting in the general election
(for president down to coroner) by
the tyranny Of election managers,
and by the failure Of Governor Dor
sey to issue a proclamation an
nouncing to all persons concerned
that women in Georgia were fully
qualified to assist in the selection
OF their own representatives in both
state and national elections.
Remember this permission to vote
was given by the ratification of more
than three-fourths of the entire num-
Der of the United States. 1t is, and
will remain, the supreme law of our
republic, and to refuse to ackno%l-
edge. or to resist. or to refuse the
ballot privilege to legally qualities
women voters, was a .laring assump-
ton on the part of Georgia'S chief
authorities.
At the period when colored men
were given the ballot such resistance
| Georgia under control Of the military
| forces of the United States.
Georgia did remain under such
military rule for a considerable time
| because of resistance to other fed
eral laws. 1t is a well-known fact
that Georgia would have been thor
oughly disfranchised in 1869-70, II
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments had not been legally Recognize
ed throughout the confines of the
state of Georgia by the action Of
the general assembly.
Georgia white men eagerly longec
for the ballot privilege and there was
only one way to get it, after these
amendments were proclaimed in ev,
cry state by the governors of al
the states and the leaders among
southern men advised the ratification
| by the legislature as a means to the
desired end, thus allowing negroe;
| to vote.
| At this time the folly Of resistance
| to the nineteenth amendment is full
| ly apparent. When it becomes ap
parent that Georgia is in a state OF
such resistance the long arm of fed
eral authority will be promptly ex'
tended.
This matter concerns the pros
perity and the peace of our owl
state. 1t is high time to amend ou1
ways. Georgia women are patriotic
and intelligent, as rule.

Washington Is Real
Business Town; Has
Many Advantages

Observation-Disclosures is a
real business town.
In retail merchandising the ma
tional capital has two advantages
over all other cities.
First-Its business IS not subject
to depressions as in purely indus
trial centers-busineS in the way
of government goes on in good times
and bad.
second-A merchant can forecast
his business volume a year in adj
vance and to nice degree of &C
curacy.
This is done by consulting the
appropriation bills passed by con-
ment payrolls.
Washington and it's environs with
in twenty-five miles have popula'
ton Of $4,000.
In all branches of government
! there are $4,000 persons employed.
Thirty-two thousand of these are
| women.
The average pay of a government
employe is $3.50 per year.
In great many cases both huS
band and wife work in departments
| This is particularly true among the
younger generation.
There are about 100000 paid ou'

and fifteenth of each month.
To obtain the trade created by the

Georgia's Agricultural Clubs

In the attempt to encourage a
proper degree of diversifcation in
Georgia variety of agricultural
clubs have been established. The
boys in the various counties in Geor-
Eia in which agents reside are en-
eouraged to join these organizations.
Last year there were corn, wheat,
lWeet potato, peanut, cotton and oat
PADS functioning in the state. The
}uccess attained by these young
armers is a cause for both congra tu-
alton and encouragement. 1t demon
]lrates the growing interest which
he rising generation is evidencing in
agriculture. 1t also indicates that
hese young farmers are alive to the
possibilities of the situation and real
Re that through the use of the best

n seed they can double and often
treble the average yields now being
obtained in the state.
1t is evident to all who have stud
led the conditions of our agricul-
ture that we must increase yields in
order to reduce costs to proper de-
gree and also enable the farmer, no
matter what the market price may
be, Secure a fair increment on his la
Dor and the investment he has at
stake. Nothing of a more potential
nature, in so far as the economic
progress of the state is concerned,
could therefore be undertaken than
to induce an ever-increasing num-
Der of our boys to join the clubs of
the character indicated. 1t is graft
flying to know that there were more
than $4,000 who participated in this
movement last year. Some of the
records they made and the results
they secured in the cultivation of
various crops, both on the basis of
yield and cost, will undoubtedly he
of interest at this time. 1t Shot |
be borne in mind that these figures
are considerably higher than those
that pertain under existing condi-
tions, Tor the great fall in prices
which has taken place since last
September had only partially gone
into effect when these figures were
made UP.
Before corn club work began it
was not thought possible by most of
our people that 100 bushels of corn
could be grown on one acre. There is
hardly a county in the state today in
which club boy has not grown this
amount or more per acre.
Georgia produced rs, 100000 bushels
CT corn in 1920. The acreage planted
to corn and the average yield per acre
are gradually increasing. The corn
club work is due a large share of the
credit for this increase in production.
The following counties made the
hest records in corn club work in
1920 and furnished exhibits at the
