To All Corn Club Boys
And To All Who Are
Interested In Them.
Desirous as we are of impress
ing upon your minds the value ol
cultivating the soil in the b.sl
■ possible manner, there is so ..e
--thing else we wish you to cultivate,
even more earnestly and zealous
]y. And that is your mind. No
other cultivation is so pleasant,'
none so profitable, as the cultiva
' tion of the brain. Ihe difrenenct
between the successful men anc
the failures is largely the differ
ence in tue use of their brains.
Well developed muscle is a use
ful part of a farmer bay, but to be
-a profitable part it must be wisely
directed by a; well-stored train.
If you had muscles as strong as
the ox and a brain uncultivated,
you would be very little better off
than the ox. Some man With a
trained brain would be your mas
ter and would profit by your mus
cular strength.... ‘A- : .
There are so many! easy and
pleasant ways of* ..developing, the
natural powers of the brain that
no bov can complain of lack of
‘opportunity. One easy and pleas
' ant way of enriching- the.mind is
. to-take and to read good papers.
many of these that
can befhad at- such smiriTcost that
no boy need b.e without two or
more of them.
Take your cothity' paper. It is
one of the best papers for you. It
keeps you informed about the
most important (to you) part of
the.earth’s surface—your homfe'
county and its pep pie.. It may lop If
small and insignificant when com
pared with the great dailies end
weeklies of the cities, but if you
will keep, account of number
of items and articles that a: e of
real value a id interest to you, you
will find that the small weekly
published in your, county town
furnishes the larger number that
interest you. In no other way, by
so small an ‘expenditure'.-of time
foocals.

Besides these good and suffic
ient reasons why the county pa
per should be taken by every
family, all these country weeklies
are now clubbing with some good
agricultural journal—both papers
for the price of one. And either
paper is worth many times the
cost of both —if they are regularly
read. Right there is the trouble
Lfth the man who does not like
nis home paper. He does not
read it regularly. And an unread
paper soon becomes an unwel
come visitor.
Never before have, the weekly
ba‘per‘S'bf Georgia been so richly
laden w.th articles of timely and
useful instruction to those who till
the soil.
If all our club members were
regular readers of their county
papers we could often reach them
with useful suggestions that we
have not time nor help enough to
send by letter. It takes more than
10,000 letters to reac|i all the club
members in Georgia..
Boys, do you know of a success
ful, prosperous man who does not
take his county paper? There .are
plenty of the other jkin'd who, do
not. which kind do jyou. want to
be?
Take the papers; bbvs, and read
’them. They wiil keep a ‘current
of healthy, brain-strengthening:
thoughts flowing through your
: blinds and enriching them witn
the best information of the age—
of all the ages, in fact. A bushel
of corn will pay for two papers.
You are going to make 50 bushels
or more on your acre this year.
Turn at least one bujshe' of it into
1 good, grey brain.
