The Farmer Boys Are March

month. If everybody talks corn-more
corn will grow. Increase yield by in.
creasing conversation. Plow deep and

farmers and statesmen.
boy has right to a good time
while young. The tramp is often the
echo of the neglected unhappy child.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture
is asking County Fairs, Oranges. Bank
ers, Grain Dealers, and Milers to pay
the expense of one or more boys to
Washington, ID. C. To win the boy
must grow the most corn on one acre.
Some counties will send more than
one boy. A four-day trip is planned,
at a cost of about $50. They will start
from Columbus, and go on one train.
President Taft will welcome the
boys to the White House. Each cabi-
net officer will be visited. Ride on
Potomac river down to Mt Vernon and
see the tomb of Washington. Look in
upon Congress the first or second week
in December The State Board of Agri-
culture will arrange details of travel
and sightseeing going and coming
Several Fair boards have voted to
pay the expense of one boy. Individu-
al banks have agreed to send boy
Other banks will clubb together and
pay. Grain dealers and millers are an.
xious to increase production and have
| joined in the game. Oranges are vot
ing to give the boys a chance to see
the Capital of the nation. High-water
mark in corn production on one acre in
each county is the main object The
average Ohio yield must be raised The
boys can do it If encouraged. 1t will
help them to stay on the farm. Give
the boy a chance to win victory and
watch him grow while doing it. Two
hundred boys can ride on the Buckeye
train to Washington. Every county
should be represented. The economic
value and far-reaching effects of this
contest in every county will be appre
ciated and approved by thoughtful citi
zens. It is practical way OF BOOST

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Closes at Jasper tomorrow AZ
ter Very Interesting Session.

JASPER. Tenn, June 5.-(Special) }
Friday closes the fourth annual in
stitute held by Supt. Alan S. Kelly at
the High School building in Jasper,
with an enrolment of 80 teachers.
Prof. Turner, who lectures on Agri-
culture, Physiology, English and
Standards of Education, by his expert
ments in the agricultural class, has
proven to the teachers that scientific
farming is not only theoretical but
practical.
Miss Wilburn, who comes to us from
Lebanon, has Primary Work, Geogra-
ply. and History, and by her original
methods of presenting these subjects
has made them intensely interesting.
Prof. Hackworth, who holds the
chair of mathematics in the High
School, is we'll known to the people of
the county as an instructor. His lee
lures have bridged many of the diff
culties which confront teachers in
Mathematics and Grammar.
The work has been interspersed with
impromptu programs, consisting of
readings by Miss Callie X. Simpson,
who is very gifted reader, and her
pupil. Miss Bess Hoge, Piano selec-
tions by Misses Elizabeth Downing
and Flossie Hughes, which received
much commentator from the teach
ers Miss Dolce Simpson added much
to the programs by rendering several
vocal selections.
