Hastings In South Carolina
and Other States

and Other STATES
Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-Corn club
prizes for Southern boys In South Car.
DINA and nine other corn-growing
states of this section have been renew
ed for 1916 by II. G. Hastings, gen:
,eral chairman Of the Georgia corn
show committee and chairman OF me
agricultural committee Of the Atlanta
chamber Of commerce.
The prizes amount in all to $1,000,
in cash and scholarships, and Will be
awarded under the direction OF the
government corn club agents in2each
state.
In South Carolina Mr.. Hastings has
offered 500 to be divided into three
cash prizes Of $50, $50 and $40, or to
be awarded In scholarship form, &C
cording to the wishes Of the South
Carolina corn club authorities.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and North Carolina,
Mr.. Hastings offers 500 in each state

ing to local arrangement. In Georgia,
his home state, he offers q $3.50 schol.
arship In the State College Of Agri'
culture and two additional cash prizes

The great educational value and
constructive force Of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing In increased
corn productions, are emphasized In
an interview given out by MI Hast
ings In connection with his announce
ment Of prizes. MI. Hastings said:
"The interest now being taken IN
corn production, by the federal gov
eminent, by state officials, by leading
or EXAMINATIONS and Individuals, Is, IN
my opinion, the greatest constructive
force now operative In agriculture,
affairs in America. For too long the
tendency Of education In the rura,
school was to draw boys away from
the farm, but the corn clubs are now
combining with true agricultural edu'
cation to influence the boys to form
new ideas and new ideals OF farm
life. The corn club work Is growing
in value and importance with eact
successive year"
