‘’fortunes that have been budded by American captains of finance
«hid ns their foundation, savings that were small at the begin-
- ning, but which grew with amazing rapidity once they got
£ sorted, and-in many cases financed the first business venture or
"investment of their owner. And while the amount involved in
anmny of these instances was small, the habit of thrift that regu
lar systematic saving instilled undoubtedly had more to do with
ntfie success in later life of America’s richest men than any other
xafiiglc factor.
• These facts arc universally known, though not practiced as
^ncrally as they should be, nnd attention is called to them at.
•tnis time because all. over tho country the period from January
ill to 23iJ is being observed ns "Thrift Week” in honor of the
Ibfrthday anniversary of Benjamin Franklin, pioneer apostle of
tbriftiness and frugality.

CHAMPION CORN GROWER
The Atlanta Constitution of January 14th‘ publishes- tho fol-
wlng communication from Mr. G. V. Cunningham, - of Athens,
jroto Boys’ Club Agent, telling of the recent prize winners among
t|ie Corn Club boys: ' * '
Editor Constitution: This is to advise you that Augustus
South, darnesvillo, Gs., making a yield of 138.62 bushels of
corn at a profit of 3118.03 per acre; and Leo Mallard, States-
boro, Gn., making a yield of 125 bushele of corn at a profit
of $102.50 per care, were the winners of tho first and second -
. prize, of an Avery Planter and a two-horse plow, offered
by Joe Rawlinga, representative of B. F. Avery & Sons.
You will note that these yields and profits made per
acre are outstanding and go to show that corn can be grown
J at a good profit in Georgia.
G. V. CUNNINGHAM, State Boys’ Club Agent.
It will be seen from the above that Augustus South, at
pmesville, grew 138.62 bushels to the acre, at a profit of $118.68,
nd Leo Mallard at Statesboro grew 125 bushels to the acre, at a
rpfit ol $102.60. Tho greater the yield the greater the, selling
rofit. The experience of these two boys proves as conclusively
1 i s can be that corn can be grown.'profitably in Georgin.
i While cotton always has been and will continue to be the
] rincipal money crop of tho, South, yet under the present -boll
-ecvil conditions, cottcn must be grown intensively, planted in a
■ mi ted acreago, worked frequently and thoroughly, and fertilized 1
cavily. Hence, the necessity for tho farmer to grow his own
>od feed crops is all the more urgent. Nothing has put. up
io price of cotton to 27 1-2 cents but the scarcity, which has
ecu created by the boll weevil partly and partly by the reduction
f acreage. 1 The production of cotton is said to be 20‘per cent
renter this year than last, but the absorption of the surplus ~
lore than offsets tlje increase. •
U In thia connection, if is interesting to note that exports of .
sm during the cereal year ending November 1, 1922, were forty
*T cent greater than for the 12 mopths preceding, according to
be figures of the Department of Commerce. Shipmenta to Eu-
Ope were grantor than for any 12 months since 1906. The total
exports for the 12 months ending last November 1, were 166,000,-
0C0 bushels, while for the 12 months ending November 1, 1021, '
110,068,000 bushels.
detailed statistics showed that American corn purchased dur-
the year by France, Belgium, Italy and. Spain were five times
than the pre-war yearly average. This emphasizes the im-
of tho boys and girli corn dubs, in demonstrating the
that Georgia soil will grow com to greater perfection and
:per than the states in the com belt AU that is eneded is to
the same amount of attention and care upon Its cpltiation

assistance the farmer will go to
work with renewed hope and ener

From what I can gather that con

not only by bankers, merchants and
citizens of Athens, but by farmers
from ail neighboring country and
different parts of the state, togeth
