Four times as many boys, members

who have succeeded in growing 100
bushels to the acre than have

bushels averaged to the acre will be
about 80 or 1855 bushels.

than has been shown heretofore" said
Mr.. Sandy, and 1t shows that the boys
have been paying more attention to

There are now about 5000 members
in the Boys Corn Clubs, and they all
