Bumper Corn Crops Can Logically b
Made by the Boys

\ Florida boy has raised 1S2 BUSH
els Of corn on one acre. Why is it
always a boy who gets these fabu-
lous returns? Perhaps even in agri-
culture a child shall lead them.-Or-
lan3o Sentinel.
1t is quite logical that the boys
should make the big crops. The boy
has nothing to unlearn. When. as a
corn club member. he begins 10 cul-
tivate his acre Of corn. he follows ad-
vice given b. scientists. The odd
man would as soon plant Bermuda
grass on his land a. % pillow deep,
which he IS sure kills the SOIL
Neither can he see the necessity for
the early and thoro preparation OF
the field. the selection Of good seed
and the frequent cultivation Of the
crop. When a farmer reluctantly con-
sents to let his boy have an acre OF
| land to experiment on. he gives that
plot up as lost. Yet, after successive
| bumper crops are made by the boys
methods. even the most conservative
| farmer must see the sense of the new
| agriculture. But there are other
crops besides corn which could be
trebled and quadrupled with little
extra work. and We hope the time
will come when the cane clubs ana
potato clubs will also GENE into ex
| istence.-Starke Telegraph.
