TO DISTRIBUTE SEED CORN
County Superintendent to Distribute
Eight Bushels Of Prize Corn to
School Boys of County.

County Supt. F. N. Olry has receiv
ed eight bushels of prize seed corn
which is to be distributed among the
boys of the rural schools of the coun
lty in time for spring planting. The
corn was purchased by Professor Oh
Try from Mr.. Cellar of Greene county
and is some OF his finest seed corn
Professor Olry states that the eight
bushels will be enough to furnish 256
school boys of the>county with quart
each, which will enable them to raise
from eighteen to twenty bushels each.
The school children are requested to
enter some of tn best ears at the coun-
ty fair held at Arion and at the short
boys are interested in the raising of
better corn in this county and last
year there was some lively competi-
tion among them for h0nors at the fair
and short course.
/ There is some talk of starting an
acre corn contest in this county for
the boys and Mr. Olry hopes to secure
enough money by donation from bus
mess men and interested farmers to
offer some good cash prizes for the
winners. In this contest Mr. Olry pro.
poses to have the boys keep an ac-
count of the cost OF producing the acre
Of corn as well as the amount of corn
raised and the prizes will be awarded
to the boys who raised the most corn
from a single acre with the least ex-
pense. Where fertilizer is used this
will be charged, the time taken to pre-
pare the ground, work Of planting, cul-
tivating and husking the crop will be
kept track of. A. number of boys have
already told Mr.. Olry that they are
anxious to enter suc.. a contest and
doubtless there would be fifty or more
If substantial cash prizes were award
ed.
We are glad to see so much inter-
est being manifested by the boys of
Crawford county in the raising of corn
and We believe that II will be the
means of raising more and better corn
IN good old Crawford county.

Don't try to lift water by a suction
pump more than thirty feet. The vt
most height to which it is possible to
suction it = 33.95 feet. The weight Of
the air has to do the lifting.
An Iowa farmer pays his foreman %
cents for every pig over six to the sow
which reaches the age for weaving.
He likes to pay out the money. and the
foreman looks upon it as clear gain.
The bonus system is worth studying.
II will work in other fields as well as
in the piggery.
!! Potash is difficult to get now, not be-
cause there are no ships to carry it,
but because OF the difficulty in secNe-

houses to the coast.
Corn. fed the sows makes their pigs
fat before farrowing, but the pigs need
fat only after their eyes open on this

only bone, muscle and vigor. Alfalfa
