He noticed that the corn was thl6y-
ing out circle Of short blunt pei It's,
or stems, each about as large around
as slate pencil, from the two joints
just above the surface of the ground.
Joe did not understand what they were.
He looked through his book about
agriculture, his government reports,
the state bulletins. Nowhere did he
find a word about corn throwing out a
radiating circle of blunt spikes from
the lower joints. He was afraid to let
the subject drop for fear the corn was
not doing properly. He never remem-
bered seeing anything of the sort be-
fore, but then he reflected that he had
never noticed corn very closely before.
He walked down the path leading to
distant field where his father was
working to ask him if he knew any
thing about it, There were few corn
stalks standing in the edge of last
years cornfeld. He parted the rank
tangle of weeds about them in the hope
of finding something there that would
enlighten him.
The old cornstalks had the same
things on them, only much longer,
double ring of them, but each spike
had curved downward and entered the
soil. Carefully Joe dug some of the
dirt away with his knife blade-and he
had the secret!
Those rings of spikes were additional
main roots, which when they made
connection with the ground sent out
network of smaller feeders to gather
what the plant needed. At the end Of
each of those spikes was a fbrous
mass of smaller roots, each spike being
the main artery, or pipe, by which was
conveyed all the sustenance the small
er roots at the end gathered from the
soil In the form of sap to the main
stem of the cornstalk and thence dis
tributed to leaves and other parts Of
the plant. Joe sat fat upon the ground,
his mind busy with problem.
'Why should the corn be sending out
| those additional roots ?" she asked him
self.
ut must be hungry!' his mind an
| swered.
Eyes, that's true. But why is it
| hungry now? Why didn't it do that
! way befOrew
1T is almost through making stalk"
reason answered. "By the time those
extra roots touch the ground the stalks
will begin to put on the rudimentary
ears, and nature is preparing for the
extra drain upon the strength of the
plant. 1t must have more food to ma
ture the ears of corn''

move the surplus plants, leaving one
about every two feet in the row.
As soon as this was done the oats
were ready to cut, and the two boys
tackled the job with hand sickles,
twisting few of the oat stalks about
each bundle and turning the ends un-
der SO as to tie them. Five hundred
and fifty bundles of oats at cents a
bundle brought $22 more. Then Joe
turned the oat stubble under and bed
ded the acre for Mexican June corn.
He put Link to work hoeing the cot
ton and killing the luxuriantly growing
crab grass, which was making faster
progress than the crop. His prize acre
of corn was getting grassy also, and
the corn was about waist high. It was
time for more fertilizer. He scattered
generous handful about each hill,
then with light pillow run twice down
the middle of each row threw the loose
dirt toward the stalks and covered the
fertilizer. A good rain fell next day,
and one could almost see that corn
grow.
Two days later, when the ground
was dry enough, Joe ran furrow
through the ''beds'' he had thrown up
where the oats were and planted the
Mexican June corn, fertilizing with a
hundred pounds of the commercial
stimulant placed in the rows. AS soon
as this was done the potatoes needed q
blowing and got it, then an applica.
tion of fertilizer to the cotton and q
blowing such as he had given the corn
The days were busy ones for Joe and
his father. Both were out Of bed by
daylight, to meet only at mealtimes
and at night. Somehow Mr.. Weston
seemed to have taken a new lease on
life and better grip on everything.
He had ploWed the garden and fixed
the fences, and for the first time since
Joe could remember the family had an
abundance Of all sorts of vegetables
Now that the rough work of planting
the garden was over Mrs. eston

thriving wonderfully in large dry

The vegetable rows were then plowed
up and bedded into rows FIVE feet apart.

were called-earlier in the season and
bedded them in dry. warm place to

rain fell all that night and in a few
days roots sprang from every leaf joint
beneath the soil, and the acre was
planted without further cost for seed.
About May 10 Joe went over his corn
| with hoe and pulled from each hill
the two weakest stalks. A hard rain
packed the soil few days later and
necessitated another working to break
the crust.
Then Joe and Link had to "chop OUT

thickly to insure stand" and the

$131.
On the LIST Mr.. Somerville had
brought three disinterested men from
town. who measured the corn acre ex-
actly, put down the stakes and told Joe
to 'sgo ahead" He had two weeks pre-
viously measured the acre himself,
opened the burrows for the corn and
put some commercial fertilizer in so
that the young corn could get sturdy.
vigorous start. He also planted a bit
late so there would be no danger Of
cold nights chilling the corn and giving
it backset. The fertilizer in two
weeks time was largely absorbed into
the ground, and so there was no dan
ger of its concentrated strength burn
ing the roots of the tender plants, vet
the necessary elements were there
ready for the hungry baby rootlets.
The measurements of the committee
were exactly the same as Joe had
| made, so he commenced dropping the
seed corn, four grains every three feet
and the rows three feet apart. The
committee lounged under the oaks
across the road.
When the corn had been dropped in
the burrows Joe had old Badly ready
hitched to light plow and ran a shall
low furrow next to the seed furrow
This threw the dirt over the corn and
covered it properly.
Then the committee adjourned with
him to the house and certified upon the
blank furnished by the corn club con
testants for the report and record that
they had seen Joseph Weston plant his
acre of corn and cover it himself. They
signed it, Joe signed it, and the fight
was on.
From thenceforward, under the rules
of the contest, no other hand than his
own might touch that corn until it was
safely gathered and housed The rules
permitted him to employ help in pre-
pairing the ground, but every cent paid
out had to be entered on the record
sheet, the prize being not only for the
boy who made the greatest crop, but al
the least cost.

CHAPTER vi.
Some Close Figuring.

~IHUS far Joe had spent on the
corn acre: For leaves, 40 cents,
having hired Abe Lincoln for
~ two days on that work, but the
other day was charged to the cotton,
which was not a contest crop: work
scraping fertilizer from the lot, 40
cents. His father did not charge him
for the fertilizer, offsetting the graz
ing of the horses on the rye and some
work Joe did against it. The break
ing Of the acre cost 81; seed rye, So;
turning it under, 81; hundred pounds
of commercial fertilizer, $3.50; seed
corn, 81; total, $3.50.
As the rest of the acres was not
in competition Joe hired Abe Lincoln
whenever he needed him, which was
constantly now. Abe had got inter
