The Corn Club BOYS.

y
Five thousand eight hundred and
fifty.six boys located In every section
OF the state are busily engaged In
cultiyating and tending piats and
fields Of corn entered In the state and
county contests. It Is q common oc=
cArrencs for a corn club boy to grow
much bigger Yields than does his
father In an adjoining field, and quite
often the boys entire crop is sold IN
the neighborhood for seed purposes.
Just at present the boys are proud
~ exhibiting their; new club badges
which mark them as members Of tha
West Virginia Boyss and iris, Clubs
The badge Is of blue and gold. Fhs
central figure Is the four leaf clover
bearing four HIS, suggesting the de-
yelopment Of the head, heart. hand
and health. An ancient Grecfan
lamp prominently placed symbolizes
wisdom.
The next big activity In the club
work will be the preparation and
holding Of county and district corn
shows throughout the state. Local
business men and men Of public az
fairs are always willing to contribute
literally toWard the prize fists for
these exhibits and in this way slim
ulate the agricultural development of
local resources. In some. counties
last year, the prize list totaled more
then 5000 and equally attractive lists
are expected this year. The corn

ing not only q better agricultura but
9 better citizenship as we'll. and mer-
It every encouragement that can bs
