CORN CLUB RALLY.

The Corn Club rally at the
court house o. last Saturday was
a very interesting gathering
when properly considered by u
thoughtful observer.
Hon. Thomas A. Early, a rep
resentative of the Corn Club ex-
tension work of the Department
OF Agriculture, at the invitation
of County Superintendent Smith,
was here, and addressed the
Club boys, farmers and business
men on the subject OF Scientific
Agriculture and its Possibilities.
II was significant that much in-
terest was manifested when sucis
a large number of farmers and
boys rode for miles through the
snow and sleet TO attend the
meeting.
Mr. Early complinented the
Lafayette County Corn Club.
stating that as Superintendent Of
the Agricultural Exhibit at the
Tri-State Fair last fall, he OBJ
served that the Lafayette county

many Of our boys being awarded
valuable cash prizes. He stated
that on Corn Club day our coun-
ty was represented by u larger
number OF boys than any county
in the three states comprising the
Tri-Sta.e territory, Shelby coun-
t., Tenn, not excepted.
TIE boys seemed delighted To-.
listen to Ar. Esrly's detailed ada
vice and information pertaining
to such subjects as soil prepara-
ton, seed selection, cultivation.
etc., as we'll as to the conclusion
of his address which dealt
with the business feature of the
Corn Club movement, showing
logically how the boys. farmers,
az well as bankers and business
men may be made 10 prosper
financially as a result ofthe boys
competitive corn growing and
pig raising. ?
One of the most delightful
features OF the meeting was the
number OF imprompt1 talks IRON
the Club boys. jim Brown, Curt
Starnes, Andrew Mitchell, Jr.,
Will White and a number of
other boys made two or three
minutes talks, telling briefly how
they raised their corn last season.
A, the conclusion of the talks
by the boys, Superintendent
Smith asked all the boys who had
bank accounts to ''hands up" y
large majority of the boys raised
their hands. He then asked how
many had bank accounts before
joining the Corn Club. Not n sin
gle hand went up. This in itself
proved conclusively to the BUSH
ness men present what the move
ment means as 4 business PROPOSE
ton.
Supervisor NJ. p. Bishop, on
behalf of the supervisors. assured
the boys that the board heartily
indorses the Corn Club move
ment, Prois. Balthrop and Lea
veil. of Inc Oxford High School,
and others, addressed the meet
ing giving the members some
sound advice pertaining to the
I educational feature of the work.
