THE BIG CORN YIELDS IN
TERRELL COUNTY.
rom the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Is Georgia corn-growing state?
Well, read this: Last spring Mr.
j. r. Mercer of Dawson, Terrell
county, offered four prizes aggregat-
ing 500 in gold for the best corn
crops in the county. Some fifty farm
ers entered the contest. Every one
of them improved his crop over the
year before. H. T. Bridges won the
first prize with a yield per acre of
10 bushels and SO pounds of corn,
and G. F. Smith was second with SO
bushels and 80 pounds. That shows
what can be done in Terrell. There
is a lot more land in Terrell just as
good as that farmed by Bridges and
Smith, and great deal more of the
same sort scattered all over south
Georgia, all of the hundred bushel
sort when properly handled. What
reason have We to send to the west
for bacon and corn? We can raise
them right at home, and we ought to
set about doing it. The Terrell
county corn contest is a valuable OBJ
ject lesson.

The Indians Contribution.

The American farmers are about to gather and put
into their granaries 100000 900 worth of corn
While not the biggest this is among the banner
crops ever grown
Corn is distinctly American. Wheat and rye grow
all around the world above and below the equator
AS long ago Josephs day in ancient Egypt wheat
cut an important figure in mans destiny.
But corn is modern, far the white man
knows it, and it is American. With the potato and
tobacco it is one of debts to the Indians. True
some maize" is cultivated in other lands but nowhere
else except perhaps in Argentine does it constitute
important part of anycounrys agricultural product
Pile all the cotton and wheat in one grand heap
and they will only equal the value of our corn AS
Il requires not than $50 days plant grow and
mature this it will be that since planting time
last spring each day has contributed about $40
TO the production of wealth that existed before
The Indian afford to have his head taken from
the American cent. He has given his name to the
worlds premier harvest-Indian maize-and to this
mcountry source of greatest wealth.
