To THE CITIZENS OF THE PARISH:
Gentlemen:-The object of the boys
corn club is the same as that among men:
that is. better methods of farming and
greater yields at less cost. Many of the
boys in the club who begin to study agri-
culture in this way will continue the
study in the agricultural colleges; others
will continue such efforts on their farms,
and all of them win make more useful
and more efficient citizens.
From the pleasant and profitable ex-
perience of owning and managing their
small piats, they will develop into in
telligent, independent citizens and farm
ers. The country needs such citizen
ship, and such life offers great oppor-
tunities.
The professions are crowded and the
wage-earners must pay high prices for
the necessities of life. The wise and
judicious producer can enjoy health,
wealth and contentment.
It is my intention to hold san exhibit at
Gonzales in October, at which time pre-
miums will be given to the successful con-
testants among the corn club members as
follows: Greatest yield per acre; best ex-
hibit of ten ears; best individual ear; best
written account showing the history of
the crop; best showing of profit on the in
vestment; best essay on corn: best corn
judging.
Premiums will be awarded for first
and second places, and even for third
place. if possible.
Judges will be secured from Baton
Rouge, a brass band will be on hand,
speeches will be made. and the people Ct
Gonzales will be asked to provide for the
crowd.
What win you do, Mr.. Citizen. toward
fostering this move which means so much
not only to the country boy, but to you?
Give us your contribution. Now is the
time.
