PLAINS SCHOOL BOYS
EARN BIG FARM PROFITS

since Vocational Agriculture was in
Itroduced only last year.
It is hoped that the results of this
years work will be as good or bet
ter than last years.
In nearly every case the boys pro-
duoed more cotton and corn per acre
than the average farmer in Sumter
county produced under the same
conditions. Two of the boys are
now supplying eggs from their pure
bred hens to the commercial hatch
ery in Americas.
One Of the most outstanding fea-
lures of the vocational work last
year was the introduction of sew
eral thousand pure bred chickens
into this section.
Only pure pedigreed seed will be
used in planting the farm crop pro-
jects this spring. The soy bean
will play an important part and give
much strength to our project prog
ram this year, The variety select
ed is the Laredo. The Laredo is a
practically new variety of soy beans
in Georgia having been grown only
a few years. However, it has al
ready proven its worth as superior
hay and grazing crop in that in adj
dition to its being a heavy seed and
hay bearer and wonderful soil
builder, it is resistant to both wilt
and the nematode.

The results of teaching vocational
agriculture to the boys in the Plains
and Thompson High schools the past
year have been great benefit to
them not only in an educational way
but in a financial way as well.
The general and technical instrU =
ton received in the class room and
laboratory at the school is put into
practice back at home which is the
best of all laboratories. Each boy
enrolled in the farm crops and ani-
NAL husbandry classes is required
to carry on a home project under
the direct supervision of MS teacher
as part Of his school work at the
completion of the project, he is CIV
en- due credit on the school records
according to the merit of the work.
The boys who carried on home
projects last year realized a total
profit of $137S.61. The cotton and
corn projects consisted of 35 IL
acres and the poultry projects con-
sisted of $50 birds. A total Of
3639 hours were spent on the prof
ects. The cost of materials, labor,
etc, amounted to $1444.91. The in
come value of all products totallcd
$2799.20.
These figures mark a good begin
ming for this type of education in
Sumter county and more especially
in Plains and Thompson districts

EXPECT TO CONTROL
DISEASE IN MELONS

Moultrie, Jan. 9. - Anthracnoses
which cost the watermelon growers
of Southwest Georgia thousands of
dollars last year, is not expected to
do the industry much harm during
the coming season, according to
farm observers here. 1t is stated
that by treating the seed before
they are planted and by spraying
the vines once a week after they get
about a foot long, the appearance of
anthracnose in the fields is not very
likely.
In this connection, however
growers have been cautioned not to
plant melon seed in fields where
the disease appeared last year. Il
also will be the height of folly to use
seed that have not been properly
treated before being planted, ex-
prts state. During the latter part
Of the growing season in 1928 an
thracnose ruined hundreds of fields
of melons, that earlier gave prom
Use of heavy yield. 1t is stated that
practically nothing can be done to-
ward controlling the disease after
it attacks melon fields. This work
it is explained must be done in ad-
vance.

TOBACCO PLANTERS MEET

SPARTA, Jan. 9.-Facts regard

the tobacco plant were discussed at

planters of Hancock county. Pro
fessor c. w. Westbrook of the
State College OF Agriculture, who
is an authority on the subject was
the principal speaker of the meet

aroused in this county over the
growing tobacco and if the quota
of five hundred acres is planted a
special agent from North Carolina
will be brought here to look after
the culture and help with the gath
ering and marketing of the crop.

This book sold widely and has been

then, Mrs. Gilbreth has written alone,
or in collaboration with her husband,

The Gilbreths have a fascinating
way in training their eleven children
