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.

CHICAGO E. ST. LOUIS KANSAS CITY ST. JOSEPH OKLAHOMA CITY Morris "SUPREME” and BLOOD, BONE "SOUTHERN BIG” and TANKAGE BRANDS FERTILIZERS ATLANTA, GA. 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. The absolutely perfect mechanical condition of our “Supreme” and “Southern Big” Brands insure a perfectly uniform distribution through any MORRIsI AffAMD ■ GUANO| make of distributor, and promotes even stands. Being dry, you get a much larger 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. Just remember the names, “SUPREME” and “SOUTHERN BIG” Brands and tell your dealer that you want them. FOR SALE BY GREEN. TARPLEY & CO., McDonough, Ga. McWilliams & mann, stockimdge. Ga.
