BOY CORN RA|SERS

INCIDENTALLY WIN PRIZES
Result of Experiments by Amateur

Making a cah on the President of the
United States and on the Secretary of
Agriculture feeding the animals at the
Zoo. feeding themselves at their hotel
and appearing before the committee on
agriculture of the House of Representa-
tives are some of the prospects and re-
wards that await the boy corn raisers of
the south who are this week the guests of
the Department of Agriculture.
" There is a score of the boys visiting
Washington this year. They have been
selected from all the southern states and
from Illinois as the state champions of
the boys corn, clubs. These clubs have
spread through the south in the past
three years till during the past season
there were 10000 boys in the competition
Practically every county in every state is
represented.
Each Boy Has Measured Acre.
Each boy has a measured acre Of
ground, and the Department Of Agricul-
ture early in the preceding winter dis
tributes them literature on selecting seed,
testing the terminating qualities Of the
corn and preparing the seed bed. Later in
the year, after the corn is planted, the
state and county agents of the depart
ment visit the various counties and in
spect the crops. Committees of school
tea and local business men keep a
record as to how much money is spent on

At the end of the season the champion
for the county is selected and his record
compared with the other county cham
the meantime there have been prizes Of
fered by the local business men in the
various counties, but the prize that is
looked forward to by all the boys Is the

That is the prize the boys are enjoying
now.
Profit Derived.
Many of the youthful farmers make a
considerable amount on their crop. There
are the various prizes. whose value de-
ponds on the generosity of the local COM
munities. Many Of the most successful
boys receive as much as from SIS to 500
in money prizes. animals, clothings,
watches and bicycles and then sell their
prize crop for seed at considerably over
the market figure. Last year one boy
who had raised over 200 bushels sold
his entire crop at s. a bushels for seed,
and the surrounding farmers were glad
to pay the price.
In scoring the results Of the planttnes,
of course, the high yield is counted. but
that Is not the only consideration. A
rich boy might load his corn patch with
commercial fertilizer and make big
crop. but the prize is awarded for big
cost Of production the rent of the ground.
the cost of the fertilizer and even the
labor of the boy himself are all charged
against the crop. The young farmer is
also made to write an account of the
raising of the crop and has to make an
exhibit Of the ten best ears of corn. All
these points are considered in the final
score.
Mississippi Lads Big Crop.
The highest crop among the winners
this year was made by little Bonnie Bee
son of Mississippi. red-headed lad OF
eleven years. who did not look as II he
were ten. He had raised 227 bushels. not
withstanding the bad season. at a cost OF
IA cents a bushel But quite as remark
able record was that Of Junius Hill OF
Alabama, who raised 212 bushels at q cost
Of 8 So cents a bushel. He was also
red-headed youngster. this seeming to be
a good season for red-headed boys. This
record of cost was SO remarkable that
special agent Of the department was sent
to investigate the case, but he reported
that the figures were correct, and the To-
cal committee vouched for the fairness
of the competition.
