Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad
Announces Completion of Plans For Award of Prizes
to the Boys’ Corn Clubs of Georgia.
The Atlanta, Birmingham & Altantic Railroad has made definite ar
rangements for the award to the five Corn Club Boys in each county
traversed by its rails, making the largest yield of corn from one acre; an
illustrated book containing much valuable information, entitled “Tilling
the Soil for Profit and Pleasure®; also twenty bulletins issued by the
United States Department of Agriculture, dealing with the production of
the various crops care of live stock, etc.
The book entitled “Tilling the Soil for Profit and Pleasure” contains
563 pages of reading matter and is profusely and beautifully illustrated.
The introduction is written by Dr. A. M. Soule, President of the State Col
lege of Agriculture. The following is a quotation from the introduction:
“What a farmer needs is a type of book that gives him a variety of
accurate information in concrete form—a book somewhat on the ordor of
of a condensed Encyclopedia or Compedium of Agricultural knowledge.
Since comparatively few books have been written on Southern Farm
Practices and none have been projected along the lines of “Tilling the
Soil for Profit and Pleasure,” this book would fill a long felt want.”
