Ames, Feb. 26.-State Senator Joe

send forty four of the 1916 boy baby
pork winners to the Ames winter short
course next year. This is the third
year Senator Allen has donated fund
TO pay the expenses Of the pork win
ners to Iowa State College.
This year over 900 boys were en-
tered in the baby pork contest, not all
farm boys either, by any means.
Strange to say, some of the best feed
ing records in the contest were made
by boys who live in the city and who
virtually had never seen pig They
fed their prize porkers according to in
structionS received from the agricul-
tural extension department ar Ames.
The contest put farm into the heal
of lot Of the city boys. Many of them
said they could hardly wait until they
were old enough to come TO college
and learn to farm says z. G. Bishop.
state leader of the Boys and Girls
Club work. And it instilled into the
minds of most Of the farm youngsters
g desire to come to the college, learn
modern agriculture and go back to the
farm, better farmers"
II like the baby pork work so wei.
I can hardly wait until l get back on
the farm to raise more, cheaper and
better pork says Howard Baker, IS
year-old Mahaska county boy and
student at Iowa State College, who
with Murle Mills, of Hardin county,
scored 80 per cent, the highest score
in the contest. The scoring was based
on the rate of gain of the pig, cost Of
grain, care Of pig, record kept and
story submitted.
