Winners in Dade County Corn Contest
Results of the corn 100 bushel per acre contest show the effects of the dry weather we had
while the corn was maturing. The adult group, who knew they didn’t have a high yield, just
didn’t have their corn measured.
All the 4 -H’ers, who entered the contest, had their corn measured and .from this we get a
good picture of what the lack of rain did to the corn. Jackie Tinker had less than half a stand
to be measured.
Some must have been fortunate to plant in a field near a spring o: creek or perhaps they
were from the 12 who had planted in a field which had used a cover crop.
The Farm Bureau sponsored the Adult Corn Contest in the county, while the Georgia
Power Company sponsored the 4-H Club.
The Farm Bureau put up $50 to be given to the three top winners in the Adult Contest.
The Georgia Power Company is giving $40 to b e split between the 4 top winners in the 4-H ■
Contest - !
The top 4" winners in the 4-H Club Contest will go to Macon to enter in th ' District and State f
Contest sponsored by Georgia Power Extension Service. There a:e 12 coun ies entered in this
contest and there will be two from each extension district.
All the men who grew 100 bu. cr more are eligible for the 100 Bushel Club. They receive
key at a State-wide meeting and banquet at the University of Georgia this month.

Since there is a possibility

that Georgia bo prepared to

Gor consideration, would create :
a "Georgia Bridge and Turn¬

would finance and construct
the Georgia section o,f the pro¬
posed north-south super high¬
way. It would be authorized to
join with four other states—
Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Florida in planning for the
highway. It was emphasized
that the Authority would not
act unless it was certain that
the other states all joined in
doing their part. “We wouldn’t
do anything unless they had
started actual road building,” a
Highway Board member said.
The administration urged
passage of the toll road bill in
order to prevent - Georgia from
losing much of the north-south
tourist trade. Most of this traf¬
fic still goes through Georgia at
the present, but it was pointed
that Georgia has been losing
much of it to Alabama in the
last few years. Construction of
the super highway, it is said,
would greatly increase the be¬
nefits of this tourist traffic to
Georgia.
