WORTH WHILE FOLK: Originator of Ohio Corn Clubs
BY CHARLES A. HARBAUGH

One dav when more or less in the dumps over the re-
suits Of his efforts awaken the grown-ups OF the farm
Sandcs found himself asking the question, Why not
again employ the competitive principle
With him. to conceive was TO act. BY way OF nitro
ducng the plan that had proved successful in the
smaller field he let it be known throughout the common
wealth that free trip the capital Of the nation would
be given the boy or girl in each township who should
distance all competitors in raising corn, Ohos staple
crop.
He had struck the trail last. OF the seven hundred
youthful huSbandmen who entered the contest as many
as four hundred won the reward, with an average acre
Weld Of cghtv-fvc bushels-ifty bushels more 10 the
acre than their fathers had averaged "i'hn inc pre-
Ccding ten years.
Interest in the movement reached such pitch when
the planting season Of 1913 opened that more than three
thousand boys and girls ready and eager 20 enter
the lists the contest having in the meantime been en-
hrgcd TO include sewing baking, canning dairylng,
gardening lawn keeping, and other branches OF farm

and three hundred girls out victorious, and duly
made the pilgrimage 70 Washington.
I'm the opinion Of the leader q this adventure IN farm

10 attempt 70 or in other words II Is more
worth while 70 keep the country boy and girl ON the
soil than % coax them back TO !, after they have failed

Today. at the age Of fortv-tWo, Mr. Sandcs is yi-
ri.. outstanding man of dominating presence and Won
icrfullv magnetic personality He has in eminent
degree two gifts not commonly found in one individual,
the gift Of writing and the gift Of speech. OF the two.
the latter ha, been the greater asset in the rough and
tumble crusade ne has conducted along the frontier Of
