has sent to each county superintendent

date upon which the boys and girls may
meet with the superintendents TO receive
their instructions and organize their clubs.
A. e. Nelson will attend each Of the
meetings, OF as many as possible, and give
the details Of the plans to the boys and
girls and assist them in getting started.
Contests will be started for the best acre
Of corn grown and for the best ten ears
and for the best potatoes The rules re-
duire that the contestants report monthly
on their crops. The "ear a row. contest
provides that a row Of corn shall be planted
from different ears OF corn and on each
