learned that intelligent farming
brings in a cash return. Each stu
dent makes regularly a profit of from
$25 to $100 on the individual garden
patch he cultivates. In addition, the
children help in working a school
farm, which 'after paying all expenses
including the wages of a man who
serves both as a farm hand and school
janitor, shows a profit of about $200.
Mr. ue jarneue is eonnueui mat wuu
a 75-acre farm, which he hopes to
have soon, his boys will be able to
earn their own living entirely while
attending school.
The State of Virginia is among the
rapidly increasing number of States
that are beginning to realize the ira-'
portance of adequate agricultural ed
ucation, and money has been appro

the United States bureau of education
is endeavoring to drive this fact home
so deep it will never be forgotten, for
the bureau maintains that the rural
scool must provide the kind of train
ing that will not only fit boys and
girls for rural life, but will serve
to interpret life in the country so at
tractively that when the children grow
to manhood and womanhood they will
be glad to remain on the farm.

There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful,
When humankind was pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truth
ful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became man's ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid be
came
Slave to the tryant Fashion.
There are no girls like the good old
girls?
Against the world I'd stage 'em,
As buxom and smart and clean of
heart
As the Lord knew how to make
'em.
They were rich in spirit and common

And they made such likely courtln'.
There are no boys like the good old

When the grass was sweet to the

That dimpled the laughing heater;
When pewee sang to the summer

Or the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor

Echoed his night song over.
There i& no love like the good old

The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, yet we pine

For that precious grace?God save

So we dream awl dream of the good

And our hearts grow tenderer,
fonder.
As those dear old dreams bring

Of heaven away off yonder.

Boys' Corn Clubs Are Prodneing tine
Yields, According to Martin,
Columbia.?"Such good work is
being done by the corn club boys
throughout the South that it would
not surprise me if Jerry Moore's fa
mous record in corn growing is beat
en this year."
This statement was made by 0. B.
Martin, who has charge of the boys'
born club work in the South. Mr.
Martin is in Columbia in attendance
upon a conference for the discussion
of several important features of the
National Corn show, to be held in
Columbia in January and February.
The conference is being held in the
office o*. George H. Stephenson, gen
eral manager of the exposition. One
of the main topics under considera
tion is the first exposition for school
boys, which will to a most striking
and decidedly unique feature of the
show this coming year.
Others present are J. B. Hobdy of
Alabama, who will be superintendent
in charge of this scbol; C. B. Haddon
of Clemson College, vyho has charge
of the boys' corn club work in South
Carolina, and W. L. English,-superin
tendent of the extension work at
Clemson college and State demonstra
tion agent.. Mr. Hobdy is assitant in
charge of the hoys' corn club work in
Alabama, with headquarters at Au
burn. Mr. Hobdy's experience especi
ally fits him for the management of
this school.
The exposition 9chool will be com
posed of prize winners in the boys' *
corn clubs in every county in the 1
Southern States, and the attendance
upon it is expected to reach at least
1,000. . .
During the past few weeke Mr.
Martin has traveled extensively in the
South and has given particular at
tention to the work of boys' corn clubs.
He said that prospects were excellent
for some large yields, and for records
showing high production of corn at
low cost. That the famous record
made by Jerry Moore of this State,
who grew 228 bushels of corn on one I
acre, in the growing of corn, might I
be broken by some farmer boy in a j
Soutnern state was among iue in
teresting suggestions made by Mr.
Martin.
U. A. Smith, Bridgeton, Ind., had
kidney trouble for years, and was so
crippled with rheumatism he could not
dress without help. He started using
Foley Kidney Pills, and says: "I be
gan to get better at once, and now all
my trouble has left me and I do not
feel that I ever had rheumatism. I
rest well at night and though 59 i
years old, can now do the work of a
man of 35 years. I would like to be |
