works with him in the field. The
county agent is his big brother.
And then. too. Hal fed some of his
corn to his pigs. Last year his father
gave him an old SOW that seemed to
have the blood of half a dozen breeds
cOursing through her veins, the pre-
dominant being Berkshire. She was
a long. lean. hungry-looking old SOW,
with ten pigs. and Hal sold them after
a while for $3.50. He took excellent
care of her. even though she was only
a scrub. and he was fully rewarded
when she farrowed thirteen pigs in
her second litter. He raised all Of
them, selling eight and keeping the
other six. he credits himself with
S104 for the second litter, and count
ing the $3.50 for the first litter, the
old SOW brought him $2o3.5O worth of
pigs.
But Hal was not satisfied. He had
pure-bred corn but no pure bred pig.
SO recently he came to Athens and
purchased a pure-bred Berkshire pig.
To pay far the blooded pig he brought
twelve hens TO town and sold them for

things during the last year that one
hardly knows where to begin the story.
Princeton is the town that Hal has
made famous. II is a small factory
settlement lying just beyond the city
limits Of Athens. on the Watkinsville
road. The people of the community
are in no wise agricultural. but are in
terested in the machinery and handi-
work necessary TO turn cotton into
thread and cloth. Halls father has
followed a great many lines of work.
and today owns only a few acres of
land lying along the banks of the OcO-
nee river. His mother is a frail little
woman. full Of energy and enthusiasm.
Five years ago she had the misfortune
TO have her foot hurt in an accident.
and since that time she has been al
most an invalid. When his father is
away, Hal is the mainstay of the fam
lily. doing everything which is TO be
done about the little place. he has
learned TO feed the hogs. calves and
chickens. and even TO prepare a meal
in the kitchen when his mother is i'll.

two little sisters. All OF this expert

from Hal his story.
"Our county agent gave me some
seed corn last year and told me he

was offered" he began. Il broke my

MY stand was pretty good and
plowed it out eight times. The drouth
hurt mighty bad and I made only a
fair crop" concluded Hal.
While the dry weather did material
ly reduce the yield of his corn. Hal
made a better record than any other
club boy or farmer in Clark county
when he raised fifty-three bushels on
his acre. The average yield for the
county under the drouth conditions
was only about fifteen to eighteen
bushels per acre. and so after all the
boy made more than fair cron
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-09-18

In the record book which the county
agent gave him, Hal kept an accurate
account of all the money which he
spent in growing his acre Of corn. His
charges for seed. rent Of land. rent of
mule. manure and fertilizer amounted
TO $4,000, and then. after crediting his
fifty-three bushels Of corn at 81 a
bushel, he declared a net profit of
$3.50. This was an excellent return 10
the boy for the time be spent in plant
ing, growing and gathering his acre of
corn. He sold part of his corn TO buy
thrift stamp, and the rest he fed to his
pigs.
Just as the corn was maturing IN
the field the county agent. who had
often visited him during the growing
season. came to help him select his
seed for this year. Together they
studied the different ears of corn and
Hal learned how the seed ear should

that there was an even number Of

S12. he bought a pig, which he says
