Corn Club Boys
To the Corn Club Boys of Wheel
er County:
The Boys’ Corn Club contest
for your county will be held at
court room, Alamo, Ga-, onTues
day, Oct. 20. at 10 a. m.
1 know you will remember
your promise to stick to the end
regardless of how much or little
you make and that you will be
there with a ten-ear exhibit of
your corn and a report of how
you made it.
Every boy who goes to his
county contest with ten ears of
his corn and a report of how
much he made on his acre will be
given a free ticket in the Geor
gia-Florida Fair to be held at Vai
dosta, and a beautiful badge.
Besides he will have a chance to
win some of the many prizes that
are offered all over the state as
well as the county prizes.
Select a committee of two dis
interested witnesses, not kin to
you, and gather and measure
your corn in their presence
Have them also measure your
acre. If possible also submit a
list of your committee to your
county school superintendent for
his approval before gathering.
This is especially important if
you think you will make over 75
bushels per acre.
Some time ago I wrote you to
plant an acre of peas where you
will plant your corn next year.
If you did this and cut your peas
for hay, m ike a small bale of the
hay and take it to your contest
also, giving the yield you got.
Make your bales this size: 4
inches wide, 4 inches deep, and
8 inches long. Use picture wire
if you can get it, to bind it to
gether. Then I suggest that you
get some red baby ribbon to tie
in two bands around your little,
bales. Your mamma or sister,
can best tell you how to do this, 1
or will do it for you.
If you planted oats last fall af
ter corn, make a bale of your oats
the same size as the hay and
carry it with you also-
Now, I want vou to be sure and
!
sow oats where you have corn
this year. Do this in October.
If you get hairy’ vetch, sow 30
pounds of the vetch seed to two
bushels of oats per acre. If you
sow vetch with your oats inocu
late the vetch seed before sow
ing. Vetch will not grow without
it. You can get the inoculation
for the vetch from the Commis-’
sioner of Agriculture, Atlanta,
Ga., for 22 cents for enough for
one acre. Y>u car. get vetch
seed from any of the seed houses.
If you can’t get the vetch seed,
sow oats anyway. i
I know you will keep your
word to stick to the end, and that
you will be at your county con
test on the date named.
Sincerely,
G. V. Cunningham,
District Agent.
