Remember the County Fair.
Next week, on Saturday the
16th instant, is the day for the
county fair at McDonough.
We should make this year’s fair
a great success and have a perma
nent annual event of this kind.
Do you know that Georgia’s
corn yield has increased
80,000,000.00 during the past 5
years?
Do you doubt that this is largely
due to the Boys Corn Club CON
TESTS?
You of course realize that every
citizen of Georgia has a dollars
and cents interest in this increase.
As it produces more money, there
is more to be spent here at home
which has heretofore been sent
west.
If this increase can be made
greater each year in Henry coun
ty, will not the citizen even in the
remotest part of the county reap
the reward of a section having
more wealth?
We ynow that the spirit of con
test and friendly rivalry is the
very life of this corn movement.
By sleeping and doing nothing
to encourage it, we shall reap
some small growth from the gene
ral state increase, though probably
having to spend the increase in
another county for corn and
meat.
By encouraging and rewarding
this spirit, we shall build up in
our own county a kingdom with
in itself capable of living at home
and feeding at the same place.
The corn increase is but one of
the many forms of growth this
spirit of contest will encourage
and nourish.
And the increase of wealth pro
produced will cover every section
of the county, wherever the plow
turnf the soil.
Why then will not every section
reap the benefit?
Why should not every section
join in the encouragement by off
ering prizes?
It is not a McDonough fair,
but a county fair.
The business men throughout
the county should add this new
line so their stock in trade and
provide for the very early future
a profit exceeding that on any
other line handled by them.
Now is your opportunity. Send
Professor O. O. Tolleson notice of
the prizes you will offer.

We are feasting on fresh spare
ribs and back-bones and baked
potatoes, as long as they last.
We don’t care if cotton will go to
twenty cents a pound. Wish it
would.
The farmers are just trying
themselves to see which one can
sow the most wheat and oats.
There is going to be more ground
sown in this community than has
been sown in a long time, for the
people have made but very little
corn this round and the cotton
has done but very little and they
will not have money to buy with.
So they have to do something.
