Twenty-One Students
Follow Agriculture at
The COxburg School

Agriculturist G. L. Beavers, of the
Coxburg Consolidated School, located in
the southwestern part of Holmes county,
is lending his knowledge and practical
experience to class of students of the
school who have 68 acres acres of cotton
and acres of corn this season that is
showing the advantages of scientific
farming operations.
Exhibits from the cotton fields of Mi
Ian Killebrew and Walter Trigleth
showed the cotton to have attaied a
heighth of eighteen inches and bearing
twelve squares of cotton. The speci-
mems indicate that the cotton will bloom
this week.
The project that is receiving the su-
pervision of Mr.. Beavers contains a
class of 81 students of the school. Six
teen of the boys have cotton as their
subject, four are following the cultiva-
tion of corn, while one has devoted his
attention to raising beef cattle. They
are all enthusiastic in their work and
have won many prizes at the local fairs
with their products. They are also in
structed in the art of judging the finer
points Of farming and its produce.
The Coxburg community is being re-
claimed in agricultural pursuits since
the work of Mr.. Beavers has been done,
and this section boasts of fine farm land
that offers unlimited possibilities in di-
versified farming. Several plots near
the school are also maintained that de-
monstrate the many phases of terracing,
cultivation, planting and general farm
care. The school is operated under the
Smith Hughes plan and is proving it's
worth to the citizens of that section.
