Congressman Aiken was asked who In
his opinion would be the Dem ocratic nomi-

Account Of Work and Expenditures on
Acre OF Prize Corn.

When l heard that q DOyS' corn cluD
would be organized in my native county l
wanted to join it. I wanted to make more
and better corn.
After becoming a member l began to
look about for suitable place to plant my
acre Of prize corn. decided to plant 1t In
q branch bottom. -
The work of preparing this piece Of land
was no small task. 1t had not been culti-
vated for the two past years. 1t was wet
and soggy. I had to cut two bitches to
drain it. 1t was partly set In bulrushes.
During the month of March I spent my
time out of school grubbing these rushes
up. then broadcasted three loads Of sta
bic manure on it. then broke it with q
large scooter and cut over it with cut
away disc harrow. After this bedded 1t
and narrowed off the beds with McCor-
mick harrow.
On the twenty-flfth day Of April I plant
ed my acre In White Dent corn. 1t came
up beautifully. The weather during the
first part Of May was cool, and the bugs
sucked it and ruined the stand. I had to
plant almost all Of it over again. plant
ed 1t in homegrown seed this time. It
came up good stand again. This was the
last of May. In some Of the wet places 1t
died out again but decided to let 1t stand.
