corn. He made his first ap-
pearance as an exhibitor in 1910 when
he won a high place at the national
corn show as we'll rs at the college

\ fine Yorkshire gilt which a few

pigs. With that start he has develop
ed his herd of swine and he now owns
some eighteen or twenty finely bred
porkers worth handsome sum. This
boy has developed fine business ability
and a well developed sense of RESPONSE
