Boys Wheat Club.

Because flour is now very high and
the prospects for s12 and SIS a barrel
for f1our are in sight something must
be done to induce people t. plant
more wheat. To meet this condition
in a way, Farm Demonstration Agent
l.. S. Wolfe announced late yesterday
afternoon that he intends to form a
boys wheat club i'm this county.
Ayers and Williams, a seed and
grain which operates n roller
mill at O~rangc3urg, have promised to
give the prizes 10 the boys. Fifty dol
lars will be awarded i'm all. The prob
abilities are that first prize will be $50
and second prize will be SIS.
Boys who are interested i'm this con-
test should see Demonstration Agent
Wolfe at once and enroll IN this club.
One acre of wheat has to be planted
and the boy who makes the greatest
yield at the lowest cost will get the
first prize and the second best will, of
course. take second money.
The acre planted by the boy must,
however, be additional to the regular
wheat crop to be planted by his faith
err, as it would not be fair to enter
ones fathers crop i'm the boys con-
test. Rules are being formulated now
and any one wishing further informa-
ton will do well to see the demon-
stration agent at once.-Times and
