Those Church Suppers!

Church sales, dinners, teas and the like are
not only means for promoting social enjoyment
and incidentally of replenishing the treasures
of the organizations which provide them. These
functions serve a real and valuable economic
purpose, as is indicated by the lady whom Edna
x. Wooley quotes in the Toledo Blade. This
lady, weary of the work of providing three meals
a day for her family, consisting of herself, her
living at this time of year, and explains why:
Last night we went to a roast beef dinner. To-
night we are going to a Methodist progressive
supper. My husband hates those progressive
suppers, because we start with soup at the
church, you know, then go to some house for the
meat course and finish up at some other house
for the dessert. He says when he sits down to a
meal he likes to finish the job on the spot, in
stead of getting up every little while, putting on
his hat and coat and g~al1oping out into the cold
and cruel world to resume his eats at some other
stand. But / think It's fun. It's a blessed oh ange.
Tomorrow night W. go to a Presbyterian church
supper. That's only rs cents, too, and 1 don't
see how they do 1t for the money. The next one
after that is an Episcopal turkey supper, and the
next Is also a turkey supper at the Unitarian
church. Then come the Disciple and Congrega-
ton church suppers, and by that time you'll see
my cheeks sticking out with rich living. What
would we poor home cooks do IL it wasn't for the
church suppers? They give us q rest from the
eternal routine of planning and cooking the daily
meals. Nobody that hasn't tried that three-meal-
a-day business knows what a grind It gets to be.
1 don't believe there's a man on earth would
stand for 1t.

west-in states such as Illinois, Indiana. Iowa
and Nebraska. But the government experts
scouting around soon came to the conclusion
that as good or better corn than America had
ever known could be raised in prolific quantity
in the south if only the people south of Mason
and Dixon's line could be aroused to the pos
sibil1tles lying dormant at their doors.
Waking up these southern farmers to their
neglected opportunities is the present work OF
one of the most efficient organizations in Uncle
Sans agricultural corps. 1t was nothing short
OF an inspiration that the experts hit upon the
plan of proving that their corn fairy tales"
could come true through the medium of the
farmer boys of the south. The lads were enlisted
in this country wide Demonstration work" and
46, 600 of them have lately been giving their Ia
theirs object lessons right at home. What is more,
many Of the fathers have taken the lessons to
heart and after seeing with their own eyes what
phenomenal yields can be made If corn be cui-
tivated as the book chaps" at the agricultural
department prescribe they have become converts
to the new ideas and have announced that hence
forth they will cultivate corn the way their sons
have been doing these past few months. 1t VIII
mean only a fraction more time and work and 1T
means production doubled or trebled or quad
Tupled.
OF course the government gave instructions
to these lads as to how to till the soil in the most
advantageous manner, but the enthusiasm which
resulted in corn harvests that have made the
whole world sit up and take notice was inspired
by competitive contests for the winners In which
all sorts of prizes were ofered-townshlp prizes.
village prizes, county prizes, state prizes, and
goodness knows what, all in the way OF trophies
eliminating in each state in a grand prize IN
the form Of a sightseeing trip to Washington. all
expenses paid. for one boy. OF course, the gov
eminent did not offer these prizes. Uncle Sam
has no money available for such purposes, out
the department Of agriculture engineered the
whole scheme and got the public-spirited citizens
OF more than a dozen states so interested that
they put UP the prizes mentioned. indlVlouals
such as bankers and merchants and organ1za
tions such as boards of trade, county superln-
tendents Of education, chambers of commerce.
etc. contributed to the list of prizes which IN the
Grand total footed up to more than $4,000

to see prizes awarded to lads who are pointing
the way to increased averages OF corn produc.
ton in the south, and incidentally to a parua'
solution of the increased cost of living. Ana no
old-time farmer can sheer that the shoWlnes
made in this Notwithstanding corn growing ara
spurts Of no practical Significance. On the con-
trary the government officials have applied MOD
ern bookkeeping methods to the business slde OK
the proposition and the reported costs OF produc-
ton can be accepted as fair actual costs.
The Yields made during the past season by
these young corn growers have been truly aston
ishing and some of them are almost past the
belief of farmers who have been getting an aver
age Of, say. 80 to 40 bushels of corn per acre
in choice corn country in the middle west. In
one Mississippi county 4s boys averaged 81
bushels per acre. In one South Carolina county
20 boys produced LOO bushels Of corn on 20
acres. In another county in that same state 142
boys averaged CO bushels per acre. One LAD
made 81, 900 from a single acre of corn. Jerry
grower of the world, got the amazing yield OF
228 bushels to the acre. Steve Henry OF Loulsl-
ana carried off the highest honors for economical
farming. producing on his acre nearly 40 bushels
at a cost of only 10 cents per bushel. Joe Stone
of Georgia, youngest and smallest of the national
prize winners. is only eleven years OF age, but
he produced 1O2 bushels to the acre at a cost of
80 cents per bushel. Next season the scope
Of the corn-growing competition is to be greatly
extended and the government may also strive
to get the country girls of the United States
into a similar competition, only, of course, 1t will
not be corn growing but vegetable gardening with
canning and preserving as a side line
