THEIR CORN JUDGED

Yield of 140 Bushels to
Acre

Especial Dispatch to The JournalO
CEDARTOwN, Ga, Nov. 11-One of
the most encouraging gatherings ever
held in Polk was that at the court
house last Saturday morning. when AZ
Of Folks fine young farmer boys
brought specimens Of their seasons labor
for exhibition and award of prizes.
And there was some of the finest corn
displayed ever grown in Polk-or any
where else. w. o. Cornelius stated pub
licly that he saw no finer corn at the
recent state fair in Macon than was
shown here by our boys Saturday.
The exhibits were arranged on the
stone wall in front of the court house.
each boys specimens being numbered
and his name enrolled in a book, so
that the Identity of the exhibitors was
not known to the judges. Then three of
Folks best farmers-Messrs. Seaborn
Jones, ]. C. Hand and P. E. Witcher-
were selected to act as judges, and they
went carefully to work in comparing
the exhibits under the recognized dulles
for such contests. 1t took them full
day of hard work to make the neces-
sary comparisons, and 1t was diff1cult
matter to make decision in some cases
where the ears of corn were so nearly
perfect
1t was not such a difficult matter, of
course, to decide as to the largest yield.
Ellis, the hustling son of w. T. Eaves,
a good farmer of the 18th, raised lao
bushels and pounds on his acre, all
the measurements, being duly. attested
by some of the best citizens of the
county. Several of the boys raised over
a hundred bushels to the acre, but
young caves was clearly in the lead
Besides winning the SIS prize, he has
the satisfaction of knowing that he has
proved himself one of the most sue
cessful corn-growers in Georgia.
A gratifying feature of the day was
the fact that so many or the boys were
accompanied by their fathers and neigh
bors, and a number of ladies graced
the occasion with their presence

BIG CORN YIELD BY
YOUNG MOSS FARMER

wAYCRoSS. Ga, Nov. n.-Gitt Ed
ward, a young farmer of Moss, comes
forward with the second best yield of
corn to the acre in Ebert county, so
far as we have learned and remember.
He gathered 1913 1-2 bushels last week
from one ond three-fourths acres. The
corn was raised on bottom land that
overlooked last year. the receding waters
leaving a rich sediment on the land.
Mr.. Edwards rents land He is a young
farmer. a good citizen, and like the land
he cultivates, there is no limit to the
possibilities in his make up.
Mr. Edwards did not enter any of the
contests this year, but was doubtless
inspired by the contests of last year to
see if he couldn't grow some corn too.
All of his crops are good, he usually
makes corn enough to do him and to
spare.
The actual amount of corn /per acre
Mr.. Edwards got off of his one field is
100 81 bushels.
If Mr.. Edwards does not grow hogs
next year it will not be because he has
no corn to fatten them on in the fall.

MUCH TRAVEL EXPECTED
ON NATIONAL HIGHWAY

GREENSBORO, Ca, Nov. 1.-THE
great highways from New York to Flor
ida will be Travelled by 10000 county
farmers, hauling their products to mar
ket and enjoying the good roads as
every New York or Atlanta millionaire
who travels over it.
At no distant day the government will
spend some millions building up these
great highways, but the men upon the
farms viii be the beneficiaries. Their
land will be given increased value and
increased comforts will be carried to
their homes. Rural free delivery has
done much to enlighten the people Of all
sections-to draw the town people and

ANOTHER MAN PROVES THAT
HOGS BEAT A COTTON CROP

Mr.. Bragg, are not selling pork at 10
cents a pound when the retail market
brings them II IL cents. Their output
goes directly to the consumer in the

Not only the dressed pork, but the

Thousands of pounds of lard have been
made and sold, fine quality lar at that.
bringing IL 1-2 to IS cents per pound.
Much corn has been raised for the
feeding of the hogs and another year
the operations of the business will be
extended. Next year it is not, unlikely
that Mr.. Morgan VIII raise and sell from
1000 to 1000 pigs. and the output OF
lard will run UP into the tons.
There Is always a market for pork
and it's by-products. Farmers viii DO

Kingstree, Oct. 19.-Allen, the
fve-year-old son of ]. NJ. Driggers,
of this place, was run over and Sc
rious1y, if not fatally, hurt here this

they encountered a frightened horse,
which had gotten away from its
owner, and before the little boy
could get out of the animals way,
he was knocked down and trampled
upon, receiving serious injuries on
the scalp, body and legs. The scalp
wound was severe, but is not, as yet,
considered fatal; the greatest dan

Collision on Public Road.

Sumter, Oct. 21.-Solomon Myers,
a 1O-year-old negro boy, had his jaw
broken Friday morning in collision
between a buggy and double horse
wagon. John Tenant, white, and
an unknown negro woman, were also
injured, but not seriously.
The collision took place early IN
the morning when Tenant and his
brother were coming to town in a
buggy. On the causeway at Pocatall-
20 swamp they met the wagon, which
was driven by a white man named
Poole, and was loaded with cotton
pickers, who were being taken out
to Mr.. J. NJ. Tindal's place, several
miles from town. Tenant drove to
one side, but, it is alleged, Poole
made no effort to drive to his side
so that the two vehicles could pass.
The collision occurred and the two
white men were thrown to the
ground, John Tenant being knocked
unconscious. The negro boy was al
so thrown to the ground under the
feet of the mules and was trampled
on. His jaw was broken and 1t is
thought that his skull was fractured
