Signer Puccini, although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, Is
Btlll a young innn. On tho subject of
his early success tho Italian composer
eald recently In New York:
"I liavo been very lucky. Recogni
tion for artistic work comes so often
after one Is too old to enjoy It.
"I remember ono of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had ho died
before seventy, would never have scon
any of his operas produced. Luckily
ho lived to so great an age that ho re
ceived for many years the admiration
ho deserved. Nnturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of obscurity and neglect,
and ho frequently spoko bitterly of
his bad lortuno.
"Once, at the very end of his long
life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera In Homo, and said re
spectfully: "'I have traveled all tho way from
London to beo tho author of my' fa
vorite opera.'
"Tho veteran composer, with a ma
licious smile, icpllcd:
" 'Woll, by friend, I have given you
plenty of tlmo to get hero.' "

wpst in states such as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Nebraska. But tho government experts
scouting around soon came to tho conclusion
that as good or better corn than America had
ever known could bo raised In proline quantity
In tho south if only the pcoplo south of Mason
nnd Dixon's lino could bo aroused to the pos
sibilities lying dormant at their doors.
Waking up these southern fnrmors to their
neglected opportunities is tho present work of
one of the most clliclent organizations in Unclo
Sam's agricultural corps. It was nothing short
of nn Inspiration that tho experte hit upon tho
plan of proving that their corn "fairy tales"
could como true through tho medium of tho
farmer boys of tho south. Tho lads wero enlisted
In this country wldo "demonstration work" nnd
46,000 of them have lately been giving their fa
thers object lessons right nt home. Whnt Is moro,
many of tho fathers have taken tho lessons to
heart and after seeing with their own oyeB wjiat
phenomenal yields can bo mado If corn bo cul
tivated as tho "book chnps" at tho agricultural
department prescrlbo they have becomo converts
1 to tho new Ideas and have nnnounced that hence
forth thoy will cultivate corn tho way their botib
havo been doing these prist fow months. It will
mean only a fraction moro tlmo and work and It
means production doubled or trebled or quad
rupled. Of course tho government gavo Instructions
to these lads as to how to till the soil In tho most
advantageous manner, but the enthusiasm which
resulted In corn harvests that havo made tho
whole world sit up nnd tnko notlco was Inspired
by competitive contests for tho winners In which
nil sorts of prizes wero offered township prlzeB,
vlllngo prizes, ciounty prizes, Btato prizes, and
goodness know? whnt, all In tho way of trophies
culminating In each Btato In a "grand prizo" In
tho form of a sightseeing trip to Washington, all
expenses paid, for ono boy. Of course, tho gov
ernment did not offer theso prizes. Unclo Sam
hns no money nvnllnblo for such purposes, but
I Mm dniinrtineiit of agriculture engineered tho
whole bchemo and got the public-spirited cltlzons
of more than a dozen states so Interested that
they put up tho prizes mentioned. Individuals
such ns bankers and merchants nnd orgnnlza
tlons such as boards of trado, county superin
tendents of education, chambers of commerce,
etc., contributed to tho list of prizes which In tho
grand total footed up to moro than J40.000
This wholo movement, nllko to other , similar
eduratlonal crusndes, has boen under tho direc
tion of the division of (armors' co-operative dem
onstration work of the department of agrlculturo
and tho field ofucors of this institution have
brought about systematic effort on tho part of
tho youthful com growers by organizing what
are known ns corn
clubB. Tliero aro
great numbers of
township clubs all
over tho land tho
township being tho
standard unit of organization and tliero aro
county clubs In about COO different counties.
Circulars of Instruction, prepared by Dr. S. A.
Knnpp, tho government expert, who Is tho Sol
omon of this movement, nro prepared and
sent sovornl times during tho year to each In
dividual boy who is enrolled In this work.
Seed Ecloction nnd tho preparation of tho
soil aro taken up first In theso courses of In
struction by mnll (supplemented by tho ndvlco
of tho field workers of tho department who
nro continually traveling nbout to supervlso
and givo practical Instruction.) All tho boyB
who won tho biggest prizes paid very careful
attention to tho Instructions on this sroro nnd
plowed their acres from eight to sixteen Inches
deep and thoroughly pulverized their seed beds.
Even moro careful ndvlco Is given tho boya on
tho very vital subject of fertilization nnd ono rea
son why so many of theso lads havo at tho first
go off gotten better corn crops thnn their fnthers
have ever been nblo to produce with nil their ex
perience back of them Ib that the youngsters
have nono of tho contempt of tho old fogies for
new-fangled Ideas nnd havo been not only willing
but eager to mnstor a general knowlcdgo of nitro
gen, potash, phosphorus, etc., as agricultural aids
and tho effect of leaves, wood mold, barnyard
manuro, etc.
Tho wholo plan of computing nnd comparing
yields in this country-wldo corn-growing competi
tion 1b dono in tho most systematic and business
like manner. With swnrma of keenly Interested
boys watching eacli other's crops llko hawka
thcro Is not much opportunity for deception of
any kind, but In addition to this Insurance, of pub
licity of methods and yields tho department of
agrlculturo has its own officers In tho field all
tho while and thoy rigidly Investigate any sus
picious reports Just as tho field workers of tho
United States coiisub havo been probing Into tho
enumeration in any town or city Hint Beemcd to
show an unduo lncrenso In population since tho
last censuB. Bo It snld to tho ctedlt of tho boy
corn growors that almost nono of thorn havo
fallen under suspicion on nny score.
In making up the rerordB of tho young corn
growers nnd awarding tho prizes Mint nre qffored
tho government ofilelnls tnko Into consideration
other things than tho moro crop yield, regardless
of crist of cultivation and every other fnelor.
Indeed, In making nwards thero aro considered
In addition to yield, the cost per bushel, tho best
ton enrs of corn raised nnd the written history
of tho crop prepared by tho boy who raised It,
Not all tho boys who won tho big prizes and wero
personally rongratulnted by President Taft In tho
White House nt Washington mado tho largest
yleldB In their states. Tho economical hide was
nywuys taken Into consideration In giving out
the prizes nnd In apportioning tho diplomas of
merit which Secretary Wilson personally pre
sented to tho boys who called on him at Wash
ington. Tho boya who havo won rank ns Unclo Sam'a
champion corn growers In every Instnnco "mado
good" by exhibiting their prizo products nt tholr
respective county fairs where their neighbors
could son with their own oyeB what they accom
plished by the new method of tilling the soil. In
many counties tho distribution of tho county
pilzes for corn growing wna mndo a red-lettor
event this past autumn and as many as 1,000 to
1,500 persons havo assembled at a county Beat
to boo pilzes awarded to lads who aro pointing
tho way to Increased averages of com produc
tion In tho south, nnd Incidentally to n partial
solution of tho Increased cost of living. And no
old-tlmo farmer enn sneer that tho showings
mado in this twentieth-century corn growing are
Bpurts of no practical significance. On tho con
trary tho government ofilelnls havo applied mod
ern bookkeeping methods to tho business sldo of
tho proposition and tho reported eosta of produc
tion can bo ncccpted as fnlr actual costs.
Tho yields made during tho past season by
theso young corn growers liavo been truly aston
ishing mid somo of them nro almost past tho
belief of farmers who have been getting nn aver
age of, eay, .12 to 40 bushels of corn per ncro

Mooio of Wlnonn, S. C., tho champion corn
