To AH ff embers ol t he Club. i wrote juu before Unit we should have additional prizes and I am now glad to announce two additional prizes in each district under the same rules as the first list I sent you. These new prizes are two free trips, in each dis trict. to the National Corn Show which will be held in Columbia, S. C., in Jan- ? ?ary, 1912. flThe Southern Fertilizer Association has appropriated ?600 for this purpose. The boys who win these prizes will eaeli get $25 to cover all expenses for the trip. No boy will get the iJtoney, however, unless he takes the trip. We expect five hundred prize winning boys from all the Southern States to be at the corn show. Cots will be -furnished and all the boys will stay in one building. The main feature of the tri,. will be a judging school. Two or three hours eaeh day will be spent in judging corn, grains and live stock and ia visiting the various exhibits of the exposition. I believe these prizes the best offered in the State. The boys who go will have a great time, see the finest corn grown in the United States during 1912 and will get special instruction in corn judg ing, Eeeh?etyou - should do all hH?i? ? power to win one of these trips. We now have seven prizes in each dis trict of the State, The two boys mak ing the best records Will get {26 each to pay his expenses to the National Corn Show while the next five will gtt the caah prizes about which you have al ready received notice.
