No victory garden" is Harry's potato patch. This year he'll dip up enough potatoes to feed a city the size of Cincinnati for a week. His patch" for table potatoes comprises 1855 acres on eight farms. In addi- ton, he had 60 acres planted to certified seed potatoes, tomatoes and hybrid corn.
 Harry was graduated from high school only last spring, but before he got his diploma, he had already earned net profit of more than $6,000. He is successful as a grower because he remembers that selling is important, tco. One year, by smartly 1,oring his crop for a few mcntfJ ,, he made $1,000 extra. GOOD BUSINESSMAN, TOO
 Typcal of Harrys enterprise is the way he relieved his neighbors of their fears about getting their grain thresf ed this summer. He solved the problem by buying a combine for SEQ and doing the job, making $500 profit in one week.
 This year he is taking a market ing course sponsored by the National JuniCr Vegetable Growers Associa- ticn and is competing for one of the cash awards firm a s 000 schol- arship fund provided by the A. & P. Tea Company for students in 30 states.
 Harry started his career as farmer at the age of IA. He joined the Future Farmers of America at his high school, and, as his "proj- ect." rented several acres of potato land. His father paid for his seed that first year, but he has been on his own ever since. Tn fact, his father has now curtailed his own farming and helps Harry.
