ment of Agriculture. Each year the cham
pion boy corn growers of each State are
given free trip to Washington, where they
meet the President and receive diplomas
from the Secretary of Agriculture.
The work of getting boys interested in
championship corn contests has advanced
to point where the Department is now
showing its hand-how it intends to utilize
this organization of boys in the future.
A bulletin has just been issued on the
subject, and one sentence in the bulletin
might have been written in this form:
WANTED-A boy in every corn-grow-
ing county of the United States, who
can prove his ability as farmer by sew
eral years of superior work in the corn con-
tests. to act for the rest of his life as the
official seed corn grower and distributor in
his county for the Government. Pleasant
and profitable work. For further informa-
ton apply to Office Of Corn investigations.
Department of Agriculture Washington, D. c.
In other words, it is the intention Of the
Department to effect permanent organi-
cation of boy champion corn growers. One
in each county is desired. By improving
seed and furnishing it to farmers of his
county he will help toward the general
plan of doubling the American corn crop.
The name of the bulletin is : How to
Grow an Acre of Corn" It is a corn-grow-
ors textbook. written in short. pithy para
graphs, each giving a suggestion on how
to improve corn.
Boys have splendid opportunities to pro-
duce better varieties than have ever been
produced" is the promise held out
1t is also pointed out that while corn
sells commercially for so or rs cents per
bushel. the successful corn-breeder can
sell his corn to his neighbors for seed for
So or So bushel A boy who can grow
100 bushels of this sort of corn on an acre
spends very profitable summer.
Every boy in town, village or the country
who has access to an acre of ground ought
to write to his congressman for this bulle-
tin and get into the growing contest.
