CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
RAILROAD IN CONTESTS
Offers Cash State and County Prizes in Boys’
Corn Contests.
The Central of Georgia Railroad has entered into the boys’ corn
lowing contest. Not as a contestant, but as a giver of additional
i frizes.
Vice-President W. A. Winburn explains the offer in an interview
in a recent issue of the Macon Telegraph, as follows:
“The Central of Georgia Railway is deeply interested
in the adoption of improved farming methods along
line and wishes to display its interest in some substan
tial way. We believe that splendid results will be ob
tained through the organization of Boys’ Corn Clubs in
the various counties in Georgia and Alabama by the
United States department of agriculture through the ex
tension department of the State Agricultural Colleges,
and, in order to encourage this work, we have decided
to offer a cash prize of $25.00 to the boys in each of the
counties traversed by our line who secures the best re
sults from the cultivation of an acre of corn under the
rules of competition fixed by the organizations named
above.
“The Central runs through fifty-seven counties in
Georgia and twenty-one counties in Alabama, which will
have the effect of enabling a large number of boys to
benefit by the competition and should arouse very gen
eral interest in this very important educational work.
“In addition to these county prizes, the Central of
Georgia Railway also offers two state prizes, one in
Georgia and one in Alabama, to be awarded to the boy
competing in the Corn Clubs of the counties traversed
by its line of road, who obtains the best results under
the rules prescribed for the county prizes. We have
decided to offer as state prizes the best mule that can be
purchased for $250.
“While every boy winning a cash county prize is at
liberty to use the money according to his own best judg
ment, we believe that no better use could be made of it
than by taking advantage of the educational advantages
that are offered by the State Colleges of Agriculture.
This amount generally speaking, will more than pay the
expense that will be incurred in taking the farmers’
short course either at Athens, Ga., or at Auburn, Ala.,
and we hope that the winners will make this use of it.”
“It is not our expectation in offering these prizes that
the increase in the production of corn in these states
will'make that an important item of freight tonnage in
the near future, but we do believe that more home
grown corn means more live stock, and that more live
stock will serve to enrich the soil, which must inevitably
benefit the farmer and everybody else, including the
railroads.”
Here is one prize of $25.00 which at least one Henry County
boy must win, if only a single one in the county enters; for Henry is
me of the counties through which this railroad runs, and the offer
is of one such prize in each county. Then there is the chance also
( r one of our boys to win the State prize offered.
How fine it would be to win this county and state prize and also
the prize of a trip to Washidgton; for we suppose the contest for
:ny one will not disqualify a boy from competing for the other prizes
with the same corn crop.
Bestir yourselves, boys of Henry, and show what you can raise.
