Why the Boys Beat the Men Raising


Why is II that the boys who JON
the corn clubs make such large yields.
while the average corn yields of the
South remain so low? No doubt these
boys have the advantage Of good land.
but they beat the men on the same
sort of land
The answer to the question is not
hard 20 find These boys employ
modern ideas, upto-date information,
and approved methods OF cultivation.
They know nothing of corn growing
to begin with, and know that they
do not Many OF the men know moth
ing of corn growing, but don't know
il. The boys have nothing to unlearn
and all to learn. They go about their
tasks ready to learn, and read. and
study the literature OF the question
with minds open to instruction. In
short, they learn, and practice mod
ern. scientific methods of corn grow
ing, and consequently succeed. The
linen must fellow the same course to
produce large yields.
The fact that these boys are more
open to instruction. that they learn
more readily because OF no prejudices
to overcome and NJ long-formed
habits to change, brings home to us
the Importance OF agricultural instruc
tion In the rural schools. To fit the
teaching of cur schools to the life of
the pupils is necessary before the
gospel of good farming can reach the
hearts of all the people. When will
our rural school authorities wake up
to this fact and attain the courage to
act?-Raleigh IN. c. Progressive

SICK HEADACHE

Probably comes from disordered

men tell us that the liver is natures
garbage collector. If it does not work
properly, the system is poisoned with
