CORN CLUB PRIZES
OFFERED FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by H. G.
Hastings in Georgia and
Other States
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—Corn club
prizes for Southern boys in Georgia
and nine other corn growing states of
this section, have been renewed for
1915 by H. G. Hastings, general chair¬
man of the Georgia corn show com¬
mittee and chairman of the Agricul¬
tural Committee of the Atlanta Cham¬
ber of Commerce. The prizes amount
in all to $1,200, in cash and scholar¬
ships, and will be awarded under the
direction of the government corn club
agents in each state.
In Georgia there are three prizes:
A one-year course with all expenses
paid, amounting to $ 250 , in the State
College of Agriculture at Athens; a
second cash prize of $ 30 , and a third
cash prize of $ 20 . Last year the Geor¬
gia scholarship prize was won by Gor¬
don Lee Hasty, of Walker county, with
148 bushels and 48 pounds to an acre.
His success "was a noteworthy exam¬
ple of perseverance, as it was the
third year he had tried for the prize.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Mr. Hastings offers
$100 in each state, either in cash or
scholarships according to local ar¬
rangement. value and
The great educational
constructive force of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn production, are emphasized in an
interview given out by Mr. Hastings
in connection with his announcement
of prizes.
“The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov¬
ernment, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals,” says
Mr. Hastings, “is, in my opinion, tne
greatest constructive force now oper¬
ative in agricultural affairs in Amer¬
ica. For too long the tendency of edu¬
cation in the rural schools was to
draw boys away from the farm, but
the corn clubs are now combining
with true agricultural education to in¬
fluence the boys to form new ideas
and new ideals of farm life. The corn
club work is growing In value and Im¬
portance with each successive year.”

THE TRI-WEEKLY
CONSTITUTION
Its Campaign for Diversified Farming
and Its Special 1915 Offer for
Ru r al Households—Largest
Circulated Tri-Weekly
in the World.
Diversified farming is now the uni¬
versal topic in agricultural communi¬
ties of the South. The Atlanta Consti¬
tution has been a pioneer in this
movement for the past quarter of a
century and is now leading in the
movement which promises so much
for the South in 191f>.
The Tri-Weekly Constitution, with
a circulation exceeding 118,000—all
subscriptions cash paid in advance—
announces a series of articles explain¬
ing in detail every step in the grow¬
ing and marketing of the numerous
varieties of foodstuffs which the
Southern farmers are urged to raise
this year. These articles are written
by Professor It. .T. H. DeLoaeh. an ex¬
pert of national reputation, he being
the director of the government ex¬
periment station in Georgia. Expert
advice on this subject from author¬
ities the country over will be given
through the columns of the Tri-Week¬
ly Constitution. This is a feature of
inestimable value to every farmer.
The Tri-Weekly Constitution is is¬
sued three times a week—-Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday—It has be¬
come known as the “farmers’ daily.”
It carries the Associated Press Ser¬
vice. with detailed cablegrams, giving
every movement of the world’s great
war, tlie latest market reports up to
the minute of going to press, and it
presents a brilliant array of special
fiction features and special depart¬
ments of particular interest to the
farmer, covering every feature of
farming life. Its poultry department
its department for the women and
children, its agricultural department
and its other special features alone
give the Tri-Weekly Constitution
special appeal to every Southern fire¬
side.
The cost of the Tri-Weekly Consti¬
tution is but $1.00 i>or year, with a
premium thrown in free of charge.
During the month of January a spe¬
cial trial subscription is offered—The
Tri-Weekly Constitution being sent to
any address from the date of receipt
of order to May 1, 1915, at a cost of
only 25 cents. Remittances should lie
made direct to the Tri-Weekly Consti-

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up¬
set. The supply merchant cannot ad¬
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant¬
ing patch in the spring and fan.
Hastings’ 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav¬
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT’S FREE. Send for
it today to H. G. HASTINGS & CO.,

Free Flower Seed.
Hastings’ Catalogue
Tells You About It
If you are engaged in farming, or
if you plant only vegetables or flow¬
ers, you cannot afford to be without
the big catalogue published fresh and
new every year by the great South¬
ern seed house, H. G. Hastings &
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., and sent ab¬
solutely free, postage paid, to all who
write for it, mentioning the name of
this newspaper.
In this catalogue we tell you of a
splendid offer of free flower seed to
all our customers, five magnificent
varieties that mean beauty about your
home and a pleasure to wives and
daughters that nothing else can give.
This catalogue tells you, too, about
our big cash prize offer to the Com
Club boys of your state. It tells all
about our fine yielding varieties of
corn and cotton—the kind we grow on
our own 3,200 acre farm. It tells
about the best seeds of all kinds for
planting in the South. It should be
in every Southern home. Write to¬
day and let us send it to you.— H. G.
