This seventeen-year-old boy, by
mixing little brain with Drawn, rails
ed 1853 bushels and Al pounds OF
shelled corn on one acre. On the day
that he husked his corn 1t had a mar
ket value Of $96.92 for shipping pur-
poses. Fed to stock upon the farm
at the price of meat prevailing on
that date its value was $146.3S. It
cost Arnett Rose $36.70 to produce
that acre, allowing for labor. land
rental and every expense properly
chargeable against It. One hundred
and eight dollars and sixty-eight cents
is conservative estimate of the net
profit Of that acre. Ohio's average
net profit per acre is $7.22. Arnett
Roses yield figures gain Of $1O1.46
per acre over the average net profit
Ohio is devoting 100000 acres to
corn each year. II the farmers OF
Ohio were to accomplish what this
