To Corn Club Boys.
Dear Corn Club member:
~ Now that youare a Corn Club mem
ber, I know that you are anxious to]
‘make a success of your acre of ocern,
so ]am writing you a few suggestions.
First you should have your soil well
prepared before planting your corn,
aven though you do not get to plant
until the first of May. Don’t bein
‘toe big a hurry to plant, but wait un
til you get your soil prepared as you
want it. Rains or dry weather may
‘keep you from planting as soon as you
would like, but remember, goed pre
paration is mere important than early
planting and don’t get discouragedif
you have to wait. Some of the most
successful boys planted their cornin
May last year. Get ready first.
Second, you should try to be sure
and get agood stand of corn. Todo
this I would advise you to plant your
corn two or three times as thick as
you expect to leave it, and thin it to a
stand after the corn gets large enough
for you to leave the strongest and
best stalks. Thinning corn is ae easy
as replanting, and replanting cora
never pays. Remember, to get n?
stand of corn plant it two or three
times as thick as you expect to leave
it, and then thin to a stand about the
time it gets six or eight inches high.
If you dont get a stand at first plow
up and plant over, eventhough it may
he the first of May, Besure and don’t
replant, it does not pay.ißy all means
get a perfect stand of corn,
Again, rememher, you are in the
Boy’s Corn Club to stick to the end
and make an exhibit and a report of
how much you made at your county
contest tobe held this fall, even though
vou do not make more than a peck.
If you stould fail, we shall want to
find out the reason why and try to
help you so that you can succeed in
thefuture. Remember, you are in
the corn club o the end.
Be sure and have an ncre. You may
have more than an acre and seleet the
best acre from your patch when you
gather.
1 shall write you againfrom time to
time, but in the meantime best wishes
to you and your acre Sincerely,
G. V. CUNNINGHAM,
District Agent.

John M. Slaten tenight, “I have ne
formal announcement to make at this
time, but will doso in due time ”’
“1 will not be a candidate for Sena

Senator W.S. West tonight shortly
befors he left on the midhight traim
for Washington.
These were the important politieal
developments following tonight en the
actien of the state executive commit
tee.
it may be expected that a general
seramble will follow for governer.
J. Randolph Anderson, who will sue
ceed Slaton when he retires, says Le

gituation still more complicated, to
lgucceed it would require the greatest
leffort and my presence much of the

' therefore I bave come to the conclu.
sion not to enier the rage.
““T'his is no wail or Jeremiah sent ug
because many of the people of scut
Georgia seemed ruluctant to unite in
my support. They have their prefer
encs, and under a free democratic
representative government must main
tain the nght to exercige them. Yet
1 wish tosay without reference to my

«In declining to enter the race for
