If Boys Can Do 1t.

Live farm boys under eighteen
years of age, in Will county, ILL
nois, made records of over one
hundred bushels of corn per acre
the past year. The highest yield
was III bushels and 60 pounds,
counting Is pounds to the bushel.
These results were accomplished
in connection with a country
wide boys corn contest in which
the corn of thirty-four contest
ants was harvested. The aver
age yield of all the boys in the
contest was over 80 bushels of
grain per acre. The acres of all
the contestants were measured
and the harvesting supervised by
a committee of Will county farm
ers. All soft and unsound grain
was set aside and did not enter
into the weight Of the yields.
This is a fine record and one of
which any farmer might we'll be
proud, says Farmers Review. If
Uhirty-four boys in a single coun-
ty can raise ar average of 80
bushels-per acre crop, what ought
the grown-up farmers do? With
the average corn yield of the
state standing at thirty-nine
bushels per acre and the average
of the country standing at twen-
ty-seven,it would look as if more
boy farmers were needed.
