Boy'sC Corn Growing Contest

In 1906 the Missouri Corn Grow
ers Association in cooperation
with the College OF Agriculture
and the State Board of Agricui-
ture organized the Boys Corn
Growing Contest for the purpose
OF interesting Missouri farm boys
In growing more and better corr
and to show them OF the oppor-
tunities offered by intelligent
farming.
One OF the main reasons why our
boys are leaving the farm is be-
they have never been given
an incentive to stay on the farm
nor shown the opportunities that
farm life affords. There are many
ways to interest the boy in the
farm and one OF the best is to
have him Join the Boys Corn
Growing Contest and grow some
corn under the directions of the
College of Agriculture.
II Is planned to organize local
corn growing contests all over the
state, through the cooperation OF
County superintendent, teachers
farmers clubs, commercial clubs
newspapers, bankers and other
enterprising men of business.
The College of Agriculture will
send directions for growing corr

The President gives the restrictions for
obtaining title to government lands as
follows:
First. Not more than 1eo acres can be
entered in a single body by scrip.
Second. No location Of scrip along any

along such waters. and no entry can be

eighty rods must be reserved from entry

Third. Nothing in the act contained

THE whole contention that the executive
