BOYS CORN CLUBS
WORTH MILLIONS
More Profit In Planting Corn
And Increase To Be
Enormous.
The corn club boys of Georgia
are pointing the way to progress
and prosperity nowadays.
They are showing the farmers
that it is absurd, and highly un
profitable, to send away annual
ly for $250,000,000 worth of food
supplies when those same sup
plies may be raised right here in
Georgia for many millions less.
Cotton is all right in its way
the world must have cotton, and
the South must produce it —but
corn raised at a profit more than
SIOO per acre is more nearly cer
tain way to wealth and independ
ence than cotton. And particu
larly than too much cotton!
A Georgia boy has raised corn
this year in average circum
stances, at a profit of more than
SIOO per acre and what a six
teen-year-old boy can do, grown
men can do, and ought to be
ashamed not to do.
Because of the activities of the
boys corn clubs and it is a poor
and backward community in
Georgia nowadays that hasn’t its
boys corn clubs the corn crop of
the state this year hits been in
creased more than $30,000,000.
It might, and eventually will be,
increased to $100,000,000, and
more!
A few years ago, a number of
corn clubs were organized in the
rural districts here and there as
a sort of exj>eriment. The re
sults have been more than grati
fying. The inevitable rivalry be
tween the clubs healthy, and
sensibly stimulating—has been
encouraged. Corn shows have
lieen held all over the state, and
prizes have been awarded where
the work justified it.
The Atlanta Georgian believes
one of the very finest influences
for good at work in Georgia to
day is the l>oys corn club.
The youngsters are teaching
the old folks a valuable lesson—a
lesson that very many of them
have needed to learn.—Atlanta
Georgian.
To Divide up
the Large F'arm.
Another step in the movement
to cut the large plantation in this
state into small farms has been
taken in Irwin county. A riqiort
from Ocilla says that Hon. J. A.
J. Henderson, one of the largest
land owners in that county, will
have a portion of his big farm
surveyed off into tracts of five
to fifty acres which he will sell
to home-seekers. Mr. Hender
son’s farm is one of the show
places of Georgia. Over 1,000
acres lie as level as a floor and
when the crops are growing it
was an inspiring sight. It was
on this farm that Mr. Henderson
accomplished the feat of raising
800 bales of cotton on 800 acres
in 1910. In 1911 he raised 1,200
bales on the same land, but was
unable to get it picket! and only
gathered 950. His decision to sell
off small farms will bring many
new families to that county.—

Teacher’s Personal Influence
The young woman who goes
into a school room to teach boys
and girls without appreciating
; the value of tact faces serious
trouble. She needs the tact to
give her personal influence with
every boy and girl; she needs it
to win their respect and confi
dence, without which she had
better not undertake the task of
teaching.
The successful teacher is one
in whose sense of fairness and
impartiality the pupils have full
faith. She impresses them, not
by what she says so much as by
what she does, with the belief
that she has no favorites and that
no personal like or dislike of hers
shall influence her treatment of
them.
Teachers are human and must
have preferences among the chil
dren, since some children are
particularly annoying, while oth
ers give little trouble, but a teach
er who allows her feelings to be
get discrimination between the
pupils misconceives her function.
The child in that case is there to
receive instruction the teacher is
unfit and equipped to.give.
Why Meat Is High.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4. —Presi-
dent H. N. Dutton of the Georgia
Hotel Men’s Association has just
given out an interview on the
higher cost of living with special
reference to meat prices. He de
clares that the present high price
of meat is due to the high cost of
feed stuffs, the enormously in
creased consumption of veal, the
change from grass lands to culti
vated farms are ascribed as the
chief causes for the increased
prices of maat.
He says that according to the
United States Department of
Agriculture the number of milk
cows in this country has not in
creased in the past five years,
and that since the source of sup
ply of lioef is the milk cow, that
no immediate increase in the
supply can be looked for.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV, 7, 1912.
Two Bales per Acre
in Spite of the Seasons.
On Sept. 18 we spent the day
in Statesboro, Ga., says the Sou-;
them Cultivator. Bulloch coun
ty is one of the best farming coun
ties in South Georgia, but the
crops are off this year and we |
found the farmers feeling blue. ,
Still Dr. J. E. Donehoo, who has
I a farm on the edge of town, has
! twenty acres of cotton that will
make forty bales. On this land
he broadcasted ten loads of ma- 1
nure per acre, then he put 600
pounds 9-2-3 guano down at plant
ing time and put 300 pounds of
same fertilizer around the cotton
last of June. This shows if a
farmer puts the manure down
and then cultivates it right the
yield is apt to come in spite of
seasons.

Finds Body in Creek.
A mysterious murder commit
ted a week ago, apparently, was
revealed Saturday morning when
a farmer driving across Little's
bridge over Muckalee creek,
eight miles below Americus, saw
' the body of a negro floating upon
the surface. He drove to the
city and reported the matter to
i Deputy Sheriff Fuller.
A coroner’s jury was empanel
ed and at once repaired to Lit
tle’s bridge to hold an inquest
jover the body of the murdered
man. When the body was haul
ed ashore it was discovered that
heavy iron weights, a long crow
bar and two heavy plows, were
attached to it. A leather halter
tied to the iron weights, one end
i being fastened to the body, had
held it near the bridge, where it
had evidently been dumped over
board. No clew to the murder,
if such it was became apparent.
