HENRY COUNTY BOY
CAN WIN A PRIZE
Boys’ and Girls’ Industrial Club Contests for
Georgia Schools in 1911.
RULES FOR THE BOYS' CORN CLUB GIVEN BELOW.
A recent issue of the Bulletin of
the University of Georgia is devot
ed to the Boys’ and Girls’ Indus
trial Club Contests for Georgia
Schools in 1911. It contains some
valuable suggestions.
The aim of such a movement is,
of course to stimulate additional
interest in farming and farm life
by arousing the boys and girls to
a realization of the possibilities of
the farm.
It is suggested that this be done
by the teachers’ organizing a club
at each school, and the county
school commissioner organize all
such clubs into a county club.
Then the members of these
clubs are to be encouraged to
enter one of the various contests.
Such contests are provided for
both girls and boys; both having
the right to compete in all the
contests.
We give below the Rules for
the Boys Corn Clubs. We would
call especial attention to the fact
that all the boys in Henry county,
who wish to enter for the corn grow
ing prizes must give the county
school commissioner notice of such
intention some time in March, so
that the commissioner can file the
names at Athens before the first
day of April.

The farmer who invests in the latest approved styles of planters and dis
tributors to insure a perfect stand and an even, uniform distribution of fertil
izers, has wasted his money unless he buys a fertilizer that is in fine and dry
mechanical condition; for a damp, gummy fertilizer will not go through any
distributor freely enough to give a uniform distribution, and the result is a
spotted crop with imperfect stands.

bulk of fertilizer to the ton than you get by buying damp and heavy goods.
They are quick, constant and lasting crop feeders, and do not leach out in
the soil in wet weather nor lie dormant in periods of drouth. Thus they are
enabled to make the plant produce and retain its fruit to maturity, reducing the
great loss of shedding to a small point.
