Red Cloud Boy Wins Prize The following is taken from the Nebtaska Farm Journal, under date of January 1. 1 ' 1 r : "The best fat ined acre contest was won handily by Kllerv Hooper of lied Cloud, Nebraska. His prize is a trip to Lincoln for the boys' and girls' short course, with all expenses paid. in this contest yield counted only 15 points, ptollt 15 points, methods 5(1 points, exhibit 10 points, and report of work 10 points. It, was his methods that gave Klleiy his lend. He fall plowed his ground ami put on four spread."' loads of inaiiuie in the fall. He carefully tested Ills seed corn anil found It had a vitality of 08 per cent. lie plauted his com May 0 mid re planted May 20. His corn received five workings with harrow and culti vator, and he spent 20 hours hoeing his crop As is to be expected all this work ran up Ellery's expenses for every hour of work done was to be included in the expense account. Desidcs he had to contend with unfavorable weather as well as insects. His corn was damaged by smut and ear worms, and wind mid dry weather also took their toll. So when it came time to husk he gathered only 42 bushels and 51 pounds. Yet that yield was far better than the average in Nebraska Aside from his methods, young Hooper had the best exhibit of com, and the report of his work was very carefully prepared. The fact that ho selected 10 bushels of seed from his prize aero indicates thai his crop was of good quality, lie figured the expense of growing Ills aero of corn to bo S22.07. Tho valtio of his crop was $31.32, thus leaving hltn a profit of S3. 03. This Is not the only prize yoifng Hooper won whh his corn. In the Webster county boys' exhibit he car ried off the first prize on his 10-ear entry. The sample sent in for the Capper show had also previously won 82 for him at the local show. There Is also a possibility of his winning further prizes at the stato show at Lincoln this month. He is already preparing for the 1915 corn contest as he had his stalks cut and grouud plowed early in December. It is easy to see that Ellery would not have ranked very high in a corn contest where yield counts for every thing. And this ia just the reason why this best farmed-acre contest was arranged. It enables the boy to win who has tried his best, and who hss applied the correct methods, but who fulls to get a big yield duo to causes over which ho has no control.
