hoped the time would come some day
when he could own one Today, how
ever, when he received a request to
have recorded a farm title for q sub

There are about two acres of ground

not a farm in the general acceptance

Mr., Ryerson did not feel like TAX

How One Small Boy Increased the Corn
Crop of One Whole State.

In the September American Magazine
Stanley johnson begins a series of ar
ticles entitled, Youth Leads the Way
which records some of the recent won
derful agricultural achievements of boys
and girls between the ages of ten and
eighteen. jerry Moore, a fifteen-year-
old boy of South Carolina, established
world record for corn growing, with
the result that an awakened interest in
corn growing in the state increased the
annual output OF South Carolina, from
100000 to 50,O00,000 bushels year.
All Of this work has been carried on in
boys and girls' corn clubs and other
agricultural clubs. under the direction
Of the department of agriculture.
Jerry raised a little over Us bushels
Of corn, on one acre of land.
"His achievement was established in
the archives of the agricultural depart
ment in way that satisfied the i'm
credulous. But his influence brought a
tremendous army of boys in the south
crn states TO attention, with their hands
on the plow The year following there
were over seventy-fve thousand boys
and girls mostly boysl engaged in club
activities. Jerry Moore had been 'toted'
from Boston TO Seattle by various or
carnations. He was the biggest human

Conceivably Stahl was volunteer

prints have too often led in common
direction to leave doubt that an illegal
conspiracy has existed and now exists.
Heretofore, out of a desire TO do moth

pearanee of non-neutrality, and in or
der not to iniure the feelings of GER
tain elements in our population, the gov
eminent has not pressed its inquiries
vigorously. II has been satisfied not to

Every farmers boy saw chance. an
opportunity that had never before been
dreamed of. Up in the northern states,
where the club movement was not start
ed until 1918, they were envious, be-
cause corn does not grow so abundantly
up there. In Sunday school in another
state, when a boy was asked if he knew
about jeremiah, he replied he did not.

him to attract settlers. Within three

states, has increased since Jerry Moore's
