Mahaska County Boys Confident of
Good Showing. o.


are clean and thrifty. Some of the
stands are not as uniform as might
be, but this condition is general
Some few of the boys were unfortu
nate in having their acres ruined by
nigh waters. AS a whole, however, it
Is remarkable the way the crop has
advanced when one considers the
weather conditions it has had to con-
lend with. Our prospect for corn
crop is as good, or better, as that Of
any other part of the state and ! look
TO see the boys of the Acre club put

that will be an eye opener even to
Mahaska people"
