q SOUTHERN BOYS WIN CORN PRIZES To Spend a Week in Wash
 ingtOn THEY WILL SEE TAFT The Average Production Among the Twenty-one Boys Was 175 Bushels Per Acre-Hill of
 Alabama First
THEY WILL SEE TAFT

Washington, December 11.-Twenty- one boys from the southern states who won prizes this year for raising ban rer crops of corn, arrived here today and will spend the rest of the week taking in the sights of the national capital, one of the rewards of their efforts.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to- morrow will present each of the boys a diploma in recognition of the good work done by them in the advance of agriculture. They also will be pre- sented to President Taft
 Agricultural department officials in charge of the farm demonstration work are highly pleased with the result of this years work by the boys clubs. Both in quantity of corn raised and in cheapness of production It has been by far the best year since the idea was inaugurated three years ago. They point to the fact that six of the boys HOW here raised more than 200 bushels on their acres of land. whereas last year this was done by only one boy. The average production among the 2l boys is about 175 bushels per acre.
 Bennie Beeson, II years old, of Mor- ticello, Miss, who grew 227 and a frac- ton bushels on his acre at a cost of II cents per bushel, Is the leading prize winner, having come within d bushel of the best previous record In cheapness of cost Junius Hill of Ala bama comes first, his PIP bushels hav- ing been raised at an average cost of cnly S1a cents a bushel.
 The most interesting feature of this years corn work, which has spread like wildhre throughout the entire south," said Professor Martin today, who will have charge of the boys dur ing their stay here lis the extremely low cost of production shown by them, and we are much pleased with this, for sne of the things on which Dr. Knapp, who started the movement. insisted was that no efforts should be made to pro- duce freak crops, no matter what the expense incurred might be, but that cost should be kept down. TherefoIe e. in awarding the prizes cost counts equally with production in determining the prize winners. Quality also is rated and the boys general knowledge of correct farming methods, as shown by a paper he is required to prepare"
 The boys now here are Eber A. Kim brough and Junius Hill, Alabama; Bur ]ey Sea agrave and Walter Hale, Ark ansas; Ben Leath, Arthur Hill and Mon- Toe Hill, Georgia; Carl Duncan and Howard Burge, Kentucky; John H. Henry, Jr., Louisiana; Bennie Beeson, Barnie Thomas and John Bowen, Mis- sissippi; Charlie Barker, Jr., North Car olina; Philip Wolf, Oklahoma; Miller Hudson and Claude Mcdonald, South Carolina; John V. Mckibbon and Nor man Smith, Tennessee; John A. John ston, Jr., Virginia, and Edward Doyle,s Illinois.

FOUR SMALL TOWNS
 JOIN REBELLION

Mexico City, December 11.-Withln the past IS hours four small towns in the state of Pueblo have joined in the rebellion against the central go, . lrnment. Four haciendas have been sack ed by the insurrectos.
 This activity in the states of Morelos and TlaXcala places within hundred miles south of the capital center of disaffection. Additional troops have been sent to Puebla in an effort to restore order but the maintenance of l big army on the northern frontier and the campaign being waged against small bands of rebels in many other ates as well as the more important action in Yucatan. has made it difi- cult for the government to send a strong force into the region south of fhe capital tonight. Reports from Vera Cruz are that new band of rebels has begun operations in that state, raiding haciendas and two villages.
 Efforts of the government agents to locate General Reyes have been with out success.
