Advice to Boys’ Corn Clubsl
Mr. G. V. CunnineHaM, Tifton, Ga.
My Dear Siri—Now that you have
succeeded in securing a large en-|
rollment of club members, it is of |
the utmost importance that you|
leave no stone unturned to encour-‘
age the boys in their work. The un
favorable seasonal conditions may|
cause many fathers to lose interest
in the boy and deny him the facili
ties needed to plant his acres of corn
to the best advantage. The boys
should be advised to plant their
corn even np to the 15th of June,
for the season is long enough in
Georgia to permit late planting and
still obtain a fine crop: in fact, corn
should either be planted late or
early in this climate. and according
to my observations, the late planted
corn often out-yields that planted :
early. |
Tell the boys not to plant the corn
until they have the land ready, to
plow it thoroughly, not when it is
wet, and to prepare a find seed bed
as this is very important. They
should fertilize liberally, using a
{ rather large amount of nitrogen, at
least half of which should be quick
ly available. If they can secure
vegetable matter to place in the
drill row so much the better. On
heavy clay lands, we think a 9-3-3
formula used at the rate of 500
pounds per acre would be about
right, On loamy soils which show
the presence of some sand, about a
10-4-4. On light sandy land from
10 to 12 per cent of phosphoric acid,
4 to 5 per cent of nitrogen, and 5 to
6 per cent of potash should be used.
On heavy clay land and loamy
soils, a side application of two to
three hundred pounds should be
made. On sandy lands probably two
side application of two tothree hun
dred poundseach can bhe used to ad
vantage. Theside application should
be put on relatively early. Get the
last on at least two weeks before the
corn bunches to tassel. Tell the
| boys that shallow persistent culiti
vation is of the utmost importance
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, JUNE 11. 1912
and advise them to keep it up as
late in the season as possible. The
boys must not be discouraged, for
there is no place in the United
States where corn may be planted
so late and still produce as high a
yield as in Georgia. The use of side
applications will help the yield in
our judgment this season. .
The advisability of using nitrate
of soda as a top dressing cannot be
foretold at this writing, but we will
‘inform the boys relative to this mat
}ter later on. We want them to re
member that the College stands
ready to give them individual advice
and suggestions relative to the cul
tivation, fertilization and manage
ment of their crop. They have a
month yet in which to plant and
still have an opportunity to make
as fine a record as the boy who
seeded his corn in March or April
ITell your club members not.to be
'disheartened. Advise with the coun
!ty school superintendents and the
| teachers and urge them to encourage !
‘the boys: Ask the local papers to‘
'print any information which will be
‘helpful. If we all pull together and
~do our duty in this matter, we need.
not worry about the outcome next
fall. Very respectfully,

‘‘Everything comes to those

to be the motto adopted by our
energetic merchants, Fitzgerald

been hustling this spring. .
In backing up their excellent
advertising in the columns of the

window displays have proved most
effective. According to a conver
sation with one of our reporters
there has been an unusual amount
of painting dope in Kitzgerald,
‘Ga.., this spring. That’s a sign of
prosperity we’re very glad to see.
This week floor paints is the
leader in their window. How an
old scratched floor or a marred

Alaskan Volcanoes
Are Spouting Fire.
Seattle Wash., June B.—Three
slumbering volcanoes in the Aleu
tian mountain range of Alaska
suddenly bave come to life and
are throwing out great quantities
of smoke and hot ashes. The
awakenea peaks are Illiamana and
Redoubt, in the Cook Inlet country
and Katmai, which overlooks
Strait, It is likely that Bogoslof,
Shishaldin and Pavloff, which are
active volcanoes and much farther
west also are spouting flames.
Dispatches from the north sav]
the volcanoes are emitting lava
and rocks, but tke discharge from‘
‘the Alaska craters usually is only}
;ash and smoke, and it lis hoped
there will be no loss of life, |
The cable dispatches received
tonight report the situation as
more serious. St. Augustine as
well as Ihamana and Redoubt are
in eruption on the west shore of
Cook Inlet, As soon as it is pos
sible to operate wireless instru
ments the revenue cutters will be
asked to go to the relief of the
people in the volcano districts.
Including Indians, it is estimat
ed that 1,500 persons are in peril,
It is the height of the salmon-can
ning season and large crews of
men are engaged in fishing and
canning.
