Sixty-six thousand boys In the South
ern states this year planted corn under
direction OF the national department OF
agriculture. In Texas the work has
reached large proportions. The boys
are making surprising records in pro-
duction. Last year Jerry Moore Of
South Carolina raised 228 3-5,' bushels
OF shelled corn per acre. The average
production per acre for the state dur.
ing the same year was only Is bushel.
A hundred boys average 1873 l3 bushels
per acre. The secretary of agriculture
gives diploma to one boy in each
state who shows greatest progress:
based on (a) best yield, (b) best 10
ears, (c) best written history, (d)
greatest profit Boards OF trade and
other organizations contribute funds
for prizes. Some Of these prizes in
clude trip to Washington, D. e. and
an opportunity to meet the president.
The work is carefully supervised by
agents, who visit the farms once a
month.
Three thousand girls are growing
tomatoes this year on the same plan as
the boys. Congress has appropriated
$3.50, 600 for this splendid work among
boys and girls, and it will gradually
be extended.
