The crop brought the Boy Scouts a
met profit of about $1,000, it is said.
! The total cost Of labor and machinery
that was employed in the planting
and cultivation Of the crop was about
81 800. The land was loaned to the
scouts by the Government for one
year free OF charge. Most OF the
actual planting last July was done by
machinery and hired help, but the
work OF cultivation has been carried
on entirely by the boys themselves.
The harvesting will be done entirely
by them with the assistance Of
wagons that have been furnished by
the buyers OF the crop.
1t is expected that the 100 acres in
the farm will be harvested by Satur-
day night.
This is the first time that the rich

received some criticism for not har-
vestlng the crop earlier They say
that every detail OF the raising of
the crop has been carried out under
directions from the department of
Agriculture. The crop was not hnr
vested earlier because the land is 80
moist that the corn would have spoil
