Well Worth Consideration.

We want our boys and girls to stay
in the country, but there must be some
interest and incentive beyond drudgery
and monotony to make young people
love the farm. The boys and girls
clubs are helping to provide this interest.
The boys and girls are made an essential
factor in the home and community life.
There IS competition and compensation
in these clubs and they lead the young
mind to the wonderfully interesting
problems of agriculture and the benefits
to be derived from the materials and
opportunities at home. The young
people respond and do fine work. In
South Carolina 4,540 boys enrolled in
the corn clubs produced Sc, 231 bushels
of corn at an average of Al cents a
bushel. Valuing the corn at one dollar
a bushel and the boys add S33, 900 to the
crop wealth of the State. The champion
produced 1854 bushels at 80 cents a
bushel. The result of this boys method
and yields has won for his seed corn the
name of Halls Improved Mortgage
LITTER" 1t is SO recognized by the
State Department of Agriculture.
One boy of Is years, living in the
State Of Idaho, raised 10 bushels of
potatoes on an eighth of an acre, $50
bushels to an acre. Miss Helen
Durham, of Davis county, Utah,
Joined girls canning club. She had
never canned quart of fruit in her
lite. When the club exhibits were
made up she had SO varieties of canned
fruits, green's, vegetables, meat,
relishes and catsups. She was awarded
a medal as State champion. What
other girls can do, our girls can outstrip;
we have faith in our own boys and girls.
Give them chance.

Suggestions To Growers Of Seed
Potatoes.

AN IDEAL SOIL for potatoes is a
well drained. deep, loose loan, we'll
supplied with decayed organic matter,
to hold moisture and possible plant
food. This soil is seldom found, hence
many bushels of potatoes are grown on
other soil than this. But the nearer
the ideal the better the crop.
WHAT SHOULD YOU SELECT?
The piece of ground on your farm near
est to the ideal and then bring it still
nearer by your treatment of it from
NOW until your crop is HARVESTED.
You will not need much land for this
crop which, properly handled. should be
profitable one, so let that be the best
on your farm. Select rich well-drained
sofia sod which has had a liberal top
dressing of manure in the past year or
two. Do not apply any manure NOW
unless it is WELL ROTTED. A clover
sod is best. NEW ground will do. Ii
this piece was not fall plowed pillow at
ONCE 8 inches (measured with rule) or
not more than one inch deeper than
previous blowing. Immediately after,
harrow and drag, aud drag and harrow,
disc being far preferable for this
work to any other harrow, until a
thoroughly pulverised seed bed 5 or 6
inches deep has been obtained. Then
continue to go over it once each week
with harrow, not more than or 3 in
ches deep, until planting time middle
of June,
For the procer preparation of seed
bed, followed by a constant shallow
cultivation, means storing and con-
serving of the necessary moisture to
make good crop, even a dry season.
And no amount of cultivation after
planting can make up for neglect in
preparing your seed bed. And remem-
Der, neither good seed or good land can
take the place of WORK.
