Corn Clubs.

The thousands of boys of the
Southern States who worked so
earnestly to make good records
last year have set an example
that is certain to be followed by
thousands more, if not in the way
of growing corn then in some
other way that will prove as USE
full and perhaps more remunera-
tive. The promoters of this, the
greatest movement of the age for
the beneitof the South, undoubt-
edly feel recompensed for the
time, trouble and efforts spent in
the cause by the gratifying re-
suits, and these gentlemen and
women are still at the front
guiding the youth with even
greater energy than before.
The boys, profitirg by the mis-
takes of the past, will do better
than ever. The city school boy is
restricted to narrow bounds and
would willingly exchange posi-
tions with the fortunate country
youth, who, after school. can go
to his field and care for his crops
of corn or his litter of growing
pigs. They would prefer this to
playing ball. With the adoption
of practical methods and the use
of modern machinery, agricul-
ture will be lifted to a much
higher plane.
Our advice to the corn club and
hog club boys is to keep trying
to reach the top notch and even
if you don't win the prize which
Sheriff Berthelot has so gene
rously offered, you will have
gained in knowledge. If you in
tend to make farming your busi-
ness, now is the time to learn it
thoroughly.
The Meschacebe offers five
subscriptions to five boys max
ing good records and whose
names shall be submitted to the
editor by Superintendent Dupuy.
To encourage the youngsters
won't some public spirited citi-
zens offer other prizes
