Is, 1911.-Hon. S. A. Roddenbery.
Thomasville, Ga. Dear Mr.. Rodden-
berry: After having a moment to
think and look over the list of prize
winners at the Georgia State Fair
ind that 33 1-3 per cent of the prizes
were won by the corn club members
OF your congressional district. This
is certainly gratifying to me, and
shows the success of your undertake
ing and the encouragement you have
given the boys. On looking over
the report of the judges also notice
that the Second congressional district
carried off 33 1-3 per cent of the
prizes and the Central of Georgia
railroad territory Sc 2-3 per cent.
All of this should be encouraging for
the work you have done in promoting
the Boys Corn Club movement.
Thanking you for your help in
this matter l beg to remain, Very
truly yours, J. PHIL CAMPBELL,
Special Agent in School Extension"
