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.— Tifton Gazette. Dr. J. D. Palmer of Jacksonville Killed. Jacksonville, Fla.. Nov. 3. Dr. J. D. Palmer, one of the most prominent physicians in this sec tion, was accidentally shot and killed in his office* here today. Dr. Palmer was treating a patient, who, upon entering the office, | took a revolver from his pocket and laid it on a table. As the men were moving about the re volver fell to the floor and ex ploded, the bullet entering Dr. Palmer’s leg. rangingup into the abdomen. Beardless Barley and Genuine Seed Rye to be found at the Mt. Vernon Drug Co.’s.- ad. 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.

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. Administrator’s Sale.

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. —Americus Times-Recorder. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County. Will !«• Hold before the court house door in Mt.
