the frst TO organize it's corn club boys

corn here that was ever exhibited In
Georgia. and the interest and enthusi-
asm aroused will result IN spreading
over Georgia and the south spirit OF
sincere interest and enthusiasm In corn
raising, and by practical demonstration
and method increase the yield OF corn

and that corn raising In Georgia Is de-
cidedly more profitable than cotton rais-.
ing and much less trouble.
