 If you are old enough to blow you can be- come a member of this club.
 Send your name to your county manager where you have county organization, and Ii there is no organization in your county, send the name to the demonstration agent and where there is no demonstration agent, send the name direct to me at Fayetteville. Also your school teacher may send in your name.
 After your name has been sent to this office in either of the ways above mentioned, you will be given bulletins from Washington which will tell you how to prepare your ground and cultivate your crop. Watch for these bulletins and read them carefully. strive to do as they teach you and you will be a winner in more than one way.
 The prizes for 1911 and place of state con- test will be announced later.
 Have your ground accurately measured and see that it contains 4s40 square yards
 Have two disinterested men. not related to you, measure the ground, and weigh or meas ure the corn when it is gathered. and sign a statement to the effect that they have done so and give the measurement or weight in pounds and bushels. This should be attached to the record of your work which you send along with your exhibit to the state contest as well as the county contest if one is held in your county.
 The instructions which will be sent the boys, joining the Boys Corn Club, from Washing ton, will consist of the bulletins as follows:
 FARMERS BULLETINS.
 Fall breaking and preparation of seed bed No. A-6s.

 Commercial fertilizer, their uses and value No. A-65.
 Field instructions-vNo. A-69.
 Corn crop-No. A-66.
 The blank for keeping the business record and history of the crop-Form B-5lla.
 Should there be any delay in the receipt of these bulletins after the members have sent their names to this office or at any time during the year, the member should address a postal card to Dr. s. A. Knapp, at the Department of Agriculture. Washington, D C. and request him to send them, the bulletins, designating by number the ones desired. If the members will do this it will be impossible for them to fail to get their instructions immediately. It is better to order bulletin at time at intervals of about two weeks than to order the whole set at once. and when received they should be carefully preserved, they contain valuable information.
 In regard to form B-5lla special care should be made to preserve it and keep the record of the work done it indicates. and forward the record to this office not later than the 18th of October.
 Teachers should write to Dr. S. A. Knapp, at the Department of Agriculture at Washing ton for Farmers Bulletins No. 40S which treats of School Exercises in Plant Production and No. 409 which treats of School Lessons, on Corn.
 If the above suggestions are carefully fol- lowed the teacher and the members of the club will be fully equipped with all the nfor- nation necessary to the doing of successful work.
 Instructions concerning the State Corn Con- test. how to select and keep the exhibits, etc. will be furnished later.
