A Mississippi Boy
Raises Most Corn,

washington, Lee. 1Z.-1n0
champion corn growers Of the
United States are in Washing
ton as q premium upon their
proWess in the cultivation Of one
of the country's leading staples.
The boys are seeing Washington
as only a boy can see things.
There are a score of the boys
visiting Washington this year.
They have been selected from all
the Southern states and from IL
linois as the state champions Of
the boys corn clubs. These
clubs have spread through the
South in the past three years. till
during the past season there
were 10000 boys in the compe-
tition. Practically every county
in every state is represented.
Each boy has a measured acre
of ground and the department of
agriculture, early in the proceed
ing winter, distributes among
them literature on selecting seed,
testing the terminating qualities
of the corn and preparing the
seed bed. Later in the year,
after the corn is planted, the
state and county agents of the
department visit the various
counties and inspect the crops.
Committees of school teachers
and local business men keep a
record as to how much money is
spent on it and the final yield.
At the end of the season the
champion for the county is selec-
ted and his record compared with
the other county champions in
selecting the winner. In the
meantime there have been prizes
offered by the local business
men in the various counties. but
the prize that IS looked forward
to by all the boys is the trip to
Washington, provided by the
state.
The highest crop among the
winners this year was made by
little Bonnie Reeson, of Missis-
sippi, a red-headed lad of II
years, who does not look as if he
were 10. He had raised 277
bushels, Notwithstanding the bad
season. at a cost Of IA cents a
bushel. But quite as remark
able a record was that of Junius
Hill, of Alabama, who raised 212
bushel, at a cost of 8 3-5 cents a
bushel. This record was so re-
markable that a special agent of
the department was sent to in
vestigate the case, but he report
ed that the figures were correct,
and the local committee vouched
for the fairness of the compe-
tition.
It was not possible for all the
prize-winning boys to be present
but the following is a list of the
boys, their addresses, the
amount of their crop in bushels.
and the cost per bushel of pro-
ducing the corn. This last item
is regarded by the department as
the most important:
