A ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR
PRIZE OFFERED.
Is it possible that a one thousand
dollar prize will interest a Mitchell
County farmer? The Citizens and
Southern Bank is one of the strong¬
est financial institutions in the South.
It has a branch in Atlanta, Savannah,
Macon, Augusta and Athens, and each
branch is as strong as the other banks
in those respective cities. It is am¬
ply able to meet its obligations. This
institution is offering a $1000 prize
for the best five acres of corn grown
by any farmer in Georgia during
1926.
Is there any reason why some
Mitchell county farmer should not win
this prize? If he should do so, his
name would be heralded to every nook
and corner of America. Some would
congratulate him, others would
to know how he did it, and still oth
ers would want to know his system of
farming, and the particular
of corn he was growing. The brand
of fertilizer used would get a boost,
and the price of h.s farm would go
above par while land sales in this
county would not be retarded by his
success.
Lets look at the other side. Sup¬
pose every farmer who tried lost and
the $1000 went to some other county
in the state. Really there would be
no losers because each man would
have his corn, and certainly a prize¬
winning yield of corn can be produc¬
ed in this county without running the
expense above the market value of
the corn, provided, of course, that the
seasons would be suitable. The val¬
ue of the contest would be in the les¬
son learned, and this is the purpose
for which the prize is offered. The
value of improved methods of corn
production, studied in order to win
this prize, would be worth far more
to Mitchell county than $1000.
Statistics show that the annual av¬
erage yield of corn in Mitchell county
is less than twelve bushels per acre,
which is about the same yield for the
state
The statement is made by one au¬
thority that a yield of twelve bushels
per acre costs the farmer $1.05 per
bushel, while a yield of thirty bushels
costs the farmer fifty-three cents per
bushel. This hits us square in the
face. If we cut our acreage and in¬
crease our production per acre, we’ll
get the same amount of corn with less
expense. Not only for corn is this
true, but with the other crops we
grow. This fact is proven by the
farming methods ini Countries where
each farmer has only a small space
of land to cultivate. True, corn is not
a cash crop with us, but it is a neces¬
sary product on the farm, and this
principle applies to every crop pro¬
duced in Mitchell county. Most farm¬
ers have too much land.
TO THE BOY SCOUTS. THE LONE
SCOUTS AND THE 4-H CLUBS.
As you are representative of the
organizations of the boys and girls of
America who live in or are interested
in the open country, with which I
come into an official relation, I want
to extend to all of you a Christmas
greeting. It seems a very short time
ago that I was a boy and in the midst
of farm life myself helping to do the
chores at the barn, working in the
corn and potato fields, getting in the
hay, and in the springtime doing what
most of you have never had an oppor¬
tunity to see—making apple sugar.
I did not have any chance to profit
by joining a scout organization or a
Diversified Farming
Promising Sign For
Southern States
ATLANTA, Ga.—-One of Hie most
promising signs for Georgia and oth¬
er southern states is the continued
interest in diversified farming, ac
cording to agricultural experts of the
Atlanta Trust company following a
survey of general far m conditions.
Eugene R. Black, president of the
trust company, said today that re
ports received by his bank show that
growers are succeeding in cultivating
more and more cash crops—tobacco,
tomatoes, vegetables, syrup, sweet
tatoes, corn, peanuts. To these, he
said, should be added chickens, eggs,
butter, cream, hogs and cattle.
There is no doubt about the value
of lands returning before another
year, in Mr. Black’s opinion.
shows that the farmers are getting
away from the one crop system and
are preparing for alternating crops
which are bound to yield profitable re¬
turns.
Mr. Black does not hesitate to say
that farm lands will always be safe
investments regardless of droughts
and the price of cotton.
4-H Club. The chance ought to
a great help to the boys and girls of
the present day. It brings them into
association with each other in a way
where they learn to think not only of
themselves, but of other people. It
teaches them to be unselfish. It
trains them to obedience and gives
them self-control. A very wise man
gave us this motto—“Do the duty
that lies nearest you." It seems to
me that this is the plan pf all your
organizations. We need never fear
that we shall not be railed on to do
great things in the future, if we do
small things well at home. It is the
boys and girls who stand well up to¬
wards the head of the class at school
that will be called on to hold the im¬
portant places in political and busi
ness life when they go out into the
world. ■ .
There is a time {or play as well as
a time for work But even in p j av it
js possjble to cultivate the art of
we ll-doing. Games are useful to train
lhe eye> the hand and the muscIeSf
and bring the body more completely
under the control of the mind . when
this is done, instead of being a waste
of time play becomes a means of edu¬
cation.
It is in all these ways that boys and
girls are learning to be men and wo¬
men, to be respectful to their parents,
to be patriotic to their country, and
to be reverent to God. It is because
of the great chance that American
boys and girls have in all these direc¬
tions that to them, more that to the
youth of any other country, there
should be a Merry Christmas.
