BOYS IN INTENSIVE FARMING

More than II. 900 southern boys less

to Washington for the boy in each
state who raised the greatest amount
Of corn on his acre. The winning
boys will soon visit the national cap
ital.
The average yield Of corn to the

twenty-five bushels. The South Caro-

panion. II they should be followed ex-
actly the yield Of corn to the acre
could easily be doubled in a single
year.
Intensive cultivation Is worth while
on all crops. The average yield of
potatoes to the acre in 1909 was 107
bushels. but the Maine farmers aver
aged 225 bushels. and some Of the
more progressive Of them dug 400
bushels to the acre. The yield OF corn
and potatoes depends more upon cult.
walton and fertilization than upon the
soil. and there is practically no part
Of the United States In which these
crops cannot be raised successfully.
It is beyond doubt that larger crops
can be produced from ten acres thor
oughly titled than from two or even
three times ten acres cultivated as
they usually are. The fact that the
South Carolina prizewinner raised
more corn on one acre than the aver
age farmer produces from six tells a
story that should not be lost upon
those for whose benefit the expert
