gree of prosperity enjoyed by farmers.
Residents of the rural sections are
beginning to come into tho markets for
all sorts of commodities which they
have rcfrained largely from buying for
more than two years because of the de-
probation in value of farm products.
The value of the 1922 harvest, in the
appraisal made by the Agriculture
Department, is based upon the prices
received by the farmer at the farm
gate rather than upon the value of his
produce laid down in the city markets
and at the ports for shipment abroad.
The corn crop, estimated to be worth
81. 900. 100000, represents about % per
cent of the value of the entire harvest
of the year.
The wheat harvest, including both
spring and winter crops, was valued at
1854. 900, 900. This is an advance of APP
proximatcly 500, 100000 over the 1921
harvest.
The 1922 cotton crop is valued at
81, 191, 100000, or nearly twice as much
as the 1921 crop.

bushels against 2.288.000,0O0 in the

THIRD WARD FIELD DAY
CELEBRATION

The exercises at the Third Ward
were very elaborate and of great Gre
dit to the teachers who had SO careful
ly planned the pogam and drilled the
children and also Indicated a thoro
and gratifying cooperation from the
parents especially the many mothers
who had at SO much time and expense
prepared the costumes that sop leasing
ly portrayed the parts that formed the
splendid pageant, This pageant was
quite similar III many ways to thai de-
Eghtful one of Armistice Day so well
rendered by the children of the First
Ward.
The introduction of different nation
al groups afforded a delightful variety
especially i'll fork dances. The Misses
tucker are said to deserve the credit
to1 this part OF the program and their
work in all kinds of physical training
is highly commended. 1t would be i'm
possible to make a fair comparison of
the groups as all were characteristic
OF some element of attraction whether
graceful, quaint or comical
Races and contests followed II. pro-
gram and rceated the usual enthusiasm
in the grades.
The number of psectators was very
large and highly pleased with the pro-
gram.
The exhibit in the rooms was highly
Interesting, being similar to that seen
in the other wards with some few diff
ferences. One sand table represented
Fitzgerald with its public buildings,
banks and leading stores we'll desig-
mated. he buildings were of card board
ard carried out quite we'll the features
most prominent, such as steeples on
the churches, etc. Posters or the cleo
trical development and mechanical in
ventions we're especially good
All rooms stress health education
In one room a chart similar to theose
seen in hospitals marked the high and
low points of the months grading in
all branches 1t is splendid idea es-
pecially in comparing two or more
months, presenting a ziz gag line of sue
cess or failure.
The prin' pal Miss Averitt and the
entire corps of teachers are to be con-
graduated on the Showing made by
their pupils.
