They parted with that, those two

Corn Club Boys Win Prizes.

It is a little late to make the
announcement, but we hope the
boys have not grown so impatient
that they have decided they were
not in the winning class. Every
boy who complied with instruc-
tions throughout the year is re-
ceiving a check, while the Win
ners of the large prizes are as
follows: In the ten-ear class ex-
hibited at the Tupelo fair the
winners were:
Halsey Clayton, first SIC. 90.
Paul Maxcy. second $500 500
Clint Long, third .--- 800
ClarenceE dgeworth fourth 200.
Cute Coggins, fifth 100.
In the matter of winning on
fthe acre yield, that was graded
by a dis-interested committee Of
two men, Messrs. B. j. Estes
and D. E. Bourland of Verona,
who measured the land. the corn
and made all reports, grading it
on the following basis:
Largest yield per acre, 30
points.
Best exhibit of 10 ears of corn,
20 points.
Best written account showing
history of crop, 20 points.
Best showing of profit, based
on commercial price of corn, 80
points.
According to that basis, the
largest yield did not win first
place. but rather took third
place. and some of the best
yields did not win at all. The
committee have the list Of yields
in their possession, but have fur
nished us their grading, as fol-
lows:
Halsey Clayton, first with 91a
per cent.
Clint Long, second with 78a
per cent.
Scale Vaughn. third with "a
per cent.
B. F. Young, fourth with I'll
per cent.
The prize money is given to
the second, third and fourth. as
follows:

ing for this years prize money:

We take this opportunity to ex-
tend our thanks to these ~institu-
tons for their liberal support,
and to the boys for their con-
tinued interest, even though
some of them made but little
corn to report. Here is a good
opportunity to state that one OF
the main objects of the club work
is to teach system and business
by requiring reports.
