 This young man grew 58 al d 1912 bushels on a measured acre. despite the dought of the past season, which he estimates reduced the yield at least one third.
 The bank has furnished The News with a detailed statement by this young man of the meth ods, amount of work and eX- pense expended in growing this crop, which was published and in enclosing the report to Us, George H. Bell, cashier of the bank, and the gentleman who suggested the contest, says:
 This is the first prize winner in the Howard County Boys Corn Contest, by boy fifteen years old. 1 believe it would be a good idea to publish this re- port in full. If all would do as well as this boy, our financial problem would disappear, said problem being a matter of feed, and not the price of Cotton You will note that he thinks Ee was damaged one-third by the trough.
