MR. W. A. BELLAH MAKES
RECORD OATS CROP.
On Acre And Quarter Makes One
Hundred and Eighty Doz
en Bundles.
Mr. W. A. Bellah makes some
kind of record crop nearly every
year.
For several years he made
phenominal corn yields, and he
was one of the pioneers in show
ing that 100 bushels of corn could
be produced on an acre.
This year his record crop was
oats.
His field of an acre and a quar
ter yielded him the immense crop
of 180 dozen bundles of oats, or
about 180 bushels.
Mr. Bellah then planted this
field in sorgham and peas.
His first harvesting yielded him
nine loads of hay. Another cut
ting after about 40 days produced
another nine loads.
Can anybody show a better
record?
Mr. Bellah also raises other good
things on his fine farm in Love’s
district. He won first prize at our
recent County Fair for the best
bull.

GIRLS' CANNING CLUB
MADE FINE SHOWING.
jt County Fair Their Work
Attracted Much Attention
And Comment.
The Girls’ Canning Club of Hen
ry County are not at all behind
the times in their work. This
was conclusively shown by the
excellent exhibit made by them at
our County Fair on the 16th in
stant.
A large number of exhibits were
displayed. Most attractively
stacked in tall pyramids, the cans
of tomatoes and fruit appeared fit
to be sold from any market to the
most fastidious taste.
Miss Vivian Patillo won the first
prize for the best exhibit: the
prize being a $50.00 scholarship
at Locust Grove Institute.
The other prize winners, in
their order were: Misses Carrie
Riley, Louie Bellah, Nora Foster,
Kitty May Mitchell, Lucile Wood
ward, and Martha Brown.
Mule Colt Show Post
poned to Nov. 30th.
The only disappointed class,
perhaps, at the County Fair last
Saturday was the mule colt. The
Merchants and Manufacturing As
sociation of Atlanta offered $25.00
in prizes to the Henry County
Fair provided 10 mule colts under
one year were entered.: and that
an additional $25.00 be raised by
the county.
Through the efforts of Messrs.
Joe J.Smith, Hiram Cook and oth
ers the money was raised ,but the
colts promised did not present
themselves.
So it has been decided to post
pone this contest until Saturday,
Nov. JO, when the same offer
will hold. Please bring your colts
then.
Remember there must be lOcolts
under one year of age. The M. &
M. prizes go to these while the
other $25.00 will be given to colts
one year and up.
For further information, consult
Joe J. Smith and Hirman Cook.
