major operations of the farm will
invariably lead in the yield per acre
of farm crops. This has been dem
onstrated over and over again in all
sections of the country, and the re-
suits of the 1918 corn contest have
brcu ght the lesson home to the far
mers of Maryland In no uncertain
manner The sections of the State
that should profit most from this les
son are the Eastern Shore and Sou
thern Maryland where the growing
of livestock is as yet only in its in
fancy These sections are admirably
adapted to dairying and general live
stock production and it Is TO be hop
ed that the lesson of the corn con-
test will result il & substantial IL
crease OF all kinds of livestock on
these farms.
There were two Statewide prizes
in the War Garden CONTEST. one for
the best small garden and one for
best large garden. AS in all OF the
contests, except corn, the State win
ners were selected from the twenty
three first prize county winners. A
sum of $500 was offered for the
small garden and $500 for the large
garden.
The prize winning garden in Glass
l was grown by Mr.. E. w. Monday,
of Rockville, Montgomery county.
From the 511 yards in the garden
total return of s150.75, or 20 II cents
I per square yard was realized.
In Glass 2, the winner was Mr.. L.
B. H. Smith, Frederick, Md, His gar
den contained $3.50 square yards of
land upon which were grown Fl diff
tferent kinds of vegetables. The re-
turns per square yard were estlmat-
ed at 281s cents or total for the
garden of $1,102.95.
In focusing our attention on the
prize winners we are quite apt to
overlook the more important facts
which were brought out by the con-
test For example, the average re-
turn per acre for all of the small gar
dens was sS2764 and for the large
gardens $54692. Figured on an acre
basis the prize winning small garden
gave a return of $1,427.80 per acre
and the large garden gave return
of $1,3S9.40 per acre. These figures
strikingly illustrate the possibilities
of the home garden under intensive
culture.
Three separate contests were
staged in connection with the Boys
Club Work. consisting of a pig club
contest, corn club contest, and pota-
to club contest. The Statewide
prize offered in each of the competi-
lions was a fifty-dollar Liberty Bond.
The first prize in the pig contest
was awarded to James A. Hadaway,
of Kent county. The porker cared
for by James made a net overweight
gain of 400 pounds and brought its
owner net profit of $37.40.
Arthur L. Harris topped the list
of boy corn growers with yield of
1924 bushels of shelled corn per
acre and a net profit of s139.18.

Sellner took the blue ribbon with

Winners in $4,000 Win
the-War Product Contest

The distribution of prizes in the
$4,000 "Win-the-War Product Con-
test" has been completed and anOth-
er chapter has been written into the
history of Maryland's achievements
during the trying year of 1918. 1t
tells the story o. how her loyal sons
and daughters, who helped SO nobly
to keep the home fires burning, re-
sponded to the cry of a hungry world
for food. While the officials of our
army and navy were graphing with
the tremendous problem of putting
an effective fighting machine in Eu-
rope to stem the Onrushing hordes of
huns-the Food Administrations thru
its leaders, modified the remaining
home forces for a mighty food pro-
duction drive to insure adequate
supplies for non-combatants and the
lighting forces. Both projects had
all the aspects Of the impossible,yet
both were brought to successful
conclusion, and the world made safe
for democracy.
Owing to lack of space it will not
be possible to announce in these col
umns any of the winners except
those which led the State in their re-
spective lines.
First, second and third Statewide
prizes were offered in the corn con-
test for the best yield per acre on a
minimum of % acres. The three
successful contestants follows:
First prize, $1,000, Mr.. Norman
Stump, of Baltimore county, S5.4
bushels of corn, as measured in the
field-making 1876 bushels of stand
ardized corn.
Second prize, $500, Mr.. August
Stirn & Sons, Howard county, 85.4
bushels of corn as measured in the
fleld-making Il bushels of stand
ardized corn.
Third prize, $3.50, Mr.. J. Walter
Street. Hartford county, 1858 bushels
of corn as measured in the field
making 67.3 bushels of standardized
corn.
Competition for third place was
very keen and there were number
Of farmers who lost out by mere
fraction of a bushel. The most strik
ing point of interest, however, is the
fact that all of the winners and near
winners were located in the most i'm
portant dairy section of the State.
Obviously there is but one deduc-
ton to be drawn and that is, that

So much FOR the high lights. Nov
let us turn to the averages obtained
in the Boys Club Work to better ap
preciate the remarkable showing tina
our boys have made.
4 There were 481 boys enrolled ii
the pig clubs that completed theil
work. The pigs cared for by these
boys made a net gain of 82,50t
pounds at a cost of $11,143 The
value of the net gain was $751;
500. The average cost per pound oil
gain was $.135 and the average gain
per pig was 171.5 pounds.
Out of the total enrolment in
the Corn Clubs 261 boys carried their
work through the year. The total
production represented by these boys
was 14,705 bushels of corn at cost
Of 1924. The value Of the crop was
$26,475. The average yield per acre
reached the surprising figure of
Sc. "a bushels and it was grown at an
average cost of SIS per bushel.
Four hundred and three boys
pinned their hopes to the humble
spud and raised 1852 bushels. The
cost of growing, harvesting, ETC., was
$4,135, and the value of the tubers
$11, 474. The average yield was 147
hr1c h0lu Of Of Z
per bushel.
The grand total cost of all the
products produced by the boys clubs
was $24,313, and the value of these
products was $56,36S. While these
figures are impressive. their value is
insignificant when compared with
the general averages which obtained
in the three lines of work.
In the Girls Club contest a State
wide first prize of a $50 Liberty Bond
was oGered for the largest and best
garden, and one for conserving the
most garden products-second prizes
of $3.50 worth of War Savings
Stamps was also awarded in both
classes.
Dorothy McAllister, of Eldorado,
Dorchester county, topped the list
for the largest and best garden; and
Mary Willett, of La Plata, Charles
county, carried off second honors.
"Can all you can and can the Kai-
ser?" was interpreted literally by
Alberta Miller, of Grantsville, Gar
rett county, who took the blue rib
bon for conserving the most products.
Alice Rineheart, of Westminster,
Carroll county, was just as anxious
to can the KAISER but had to be
content with second place.
Our boys and girls are showing
the way, blazing the trail of new
and better agriculture. There is
nothing startling about the methods
Of husbandry which made their re-
suits possible; the secret Of their
success lies in the fact that they have
been willing to give practical appli-
cation to the modern methods of
husbandry that our agricultural ex-
perts are recommending. Let those
of us who are oldder and more set in
our ways take cognizance Of the won
derful showing made by our young
folks and eliminate all inefficient
pre-war farming practices. - State

same.
The Avenue will continue to follow the
upper level of the Place until II opens onto
the square opposite tho building Of the

Analysing food we learn that the
three chief components are sugar, fats
and protein. Until recently II was I'm
possible to manufacture sugar synthet-
ioally, but now we have solved the riddle
in several different ways. Iron rust
exposed to the prisnatio rays of the sun
through water makes formaldehyde,
since the rays of the sun acting upon
the rust as q contact agent, mixed with
the carbon dioxide of the air and water
makes this powerful chemical. From
formaldehyde certain forms of sugar
may be obtained. Other ways of maxi
ing sugar alphabetically are through the
employment of ultraviolet rays, radium
and electricity.
Part of our research work at Har-
wards botanical laboratory has been to
observe the process by which the plant
transforms the carbon 'dioxide gas and
