SMALL FORTUNE

| Among other cheering Virginia
| scenes pictured on the front page is
am accurate photograph of the sussex
county boy who won all the prizes
Tor good corn growing in old Yir-
sinia. The story OF this boys good work
mas ALREADY been told in The Times
dispatch. y repetition of the story is
surely not out Of place. Here il is:
Upon a total investment of s51.
which includes his own labor and rent
on an acre of his fathers land, John
A. Johnston, Jr.. of Jarrctts, SUSSEX
county, the thirteenycar- old Sussex
| county boy, who raised the best sore
OIL corn In the State this year, will
| realize many hundreds of dollars.
He puts in his corn at 90 cents n
oushel, which is too low. But letting
It go at that. he will get s147.60 for
| the 164 bushels. This makes n clear
profit of 5000. In addition, he got
the $3.50 prize Mt the Southside Fair
for the best acre Of corn; a $50 prize
at the Emporia Fair. and SIS prize
at the Sussex County Schol Fair. This;
! makes s215 cash in prizes
On December II he will ioin tbc
prize winning boys from the other
States in trip to Washington with
all expenses paid by the Bureau If
Plant Industry. The kids Will he
shown everything in town.
Then young Johnston gets a scholar
ship at the special farmers course ut
the Virginia Polytechnic INSTITUTES In
January and February, taking IN anv
practical subject nc plcases. with all
expenses paid. He will probably go.
This kid. who has beaten every other
corn-raiser In the State, man or bay,
used about 1.40o pounds of phospnoric
acid. 400 pounds Of bone. meal, 200
pounds Of muriate of potash and 200
pounds Of nitrate Of soda Tho ground
did not get all this at once. but by
degrees. Tho soil was used In faisinS
peanuts last year OF course, it was
plowed deep and worked we'll. rhe
whole was under the direction of M
H. West. of Waverly, the demonstra-
tor for Sussex county.
It goes without saying that Mr.. West

sixteen such farms in as many dit-
fcrcnt counties In Iowa AT compliant
Ing time my agents go along the coun-
try roads and collect from ccah farm
CT sample of the corn which he IS
! sowing. The samples are taken right
out OF the planting machines. they
are labeled. the corn is tested for
termination, records are filed. and
then the sample corn.is planted on the
county farm. each farmers sample
| being tried out In four different plots
OF ground SO as to give II a fair
chance.
When the harvest time comes we
have big county show. Each plot
of corn IL labeled with the farmers
name and the yield per bushel is writ
ten on the tag. The farmers come
and look for their names on the tag
and compare results.
There may be a seventy shell. and
n thirty-fivc- bushel yield side by side
Our experiments show that Is per cent
or the kernels planted are dead kerr
| nels and do not grow at ALL Some
! OF the farmers open their eyes when
| they see the results and skirmish
| around buying seed corn from their
more successful ncighbors.
What Might be.
In Iowa am allowed $4,000 a year
for this extension work If l owned
all the farm land in single county
I'd take all of this $4,000 and nut
| II into one county. l could add ten
bushels an acre to the yield. For a
single county this would mean an
| Increase OF 100000 bushels and n
profit OF 100000 Wouldn't tina, De
| a good investment?
We've got TO get rid of the moor
seed corn first. Each State should
| appropriate carloads of the best seed
torn to the farmers gratis Then the
| farmers must be educated, and to do
this the State should set up short
term agricultural schools in each
| township of the State
There are four agricultural COM
mandmcnts, which every farmer should
obey:
Il. Thou shalt test tgerminatel six
kernels In every ear of thy seed corn
before planting.
"2. Thou shalt grade 1t and test thy
