They met the secretary of agriculture and, after listening to a talk on th Im portance of good work In general, and their own work, In particular, wer given diploma. They railed on President Taft at the White llouae and wer treated like distinguished visitors.

On of the boys. It Is not necessary to mention names,, was th son of a poor country minister.

Still, ho told th. boy If h would clear an acr of th tump land he could hav It for th crop, provided, of course, lie did not ask hi. dad to spend any money or trouble on It. The boy went to work and cleared the land. Anyone who Is personally ac quainted with light-wood stump know, how closely they approximate granite In composition, and clearing an acre waa of Itself a Ilerculenn task tor such a baby; a boy at an ag. when many city reared children still hav a French nurse tagging after them. However, the Job eventually was done. And then the farmer took the acre away from him. Mean? fan any father holding down a city lob with his boy In the fourth grade. and wondering If the work Is not too hard for him, Imagine anything much meaner? Then the tenant farmer told hi. youngster if h. would clear another acre of land he might really have that. What sort of stuff that boy Is made of can b judged from th fact that ha took up th challenge and cleared atioihor acr. This he was allowed to keep. II. se lected bis own seed and tested It after the methods that had been outlined to htm by the department, and raised his acre of corn between times when he was not working on the regular farm. Ill lather's corn patch waa on three Ides of the experimental acre. Th father, who knew all about raising corn, averaged 1 bushel, an acr. Th boy raised Ml bUKhels. This did l ot win th state prti and tho boy did not oom to Washington, but bit father appeared at a farmers' Insti tute meeting that fall and confessed Just bow mean he had been, and added that It he had known as much about raising corn thirty years ago as that boy knows today he would bo well off and living In a decent hous. of his own. Instead ot fiuni.ni on half .hares. Il!g Little Wlssrn, Archie Ck'.om, tho winner of the second prtxe in Alabama, maJe 177, bushel, on his ucre. ut an expenso of U cents a I'UKhel. He Is a patriarch of fifteen the youngeM of eight children, four brothers and three sistris. b'lt h. la tb head of the lainily at home, the rest being mar ried. I!c takes car of his mother and two unmarried . iters, il was compelled to tnt school to work a year ago. but he hn r.on back and plr.s continuing in th corn club and going to lomon rolU-t In acUlltlon t his acr in corn lust year, he mad two bales of cotton iff three acres. It may b csuinsd that th teaava these record crops mean no much to the boy. la that th corn sella for aaed in their region at several times the market price. Some of them In a little while will turn their attention to raising seed corn altogether. One cf th tiniest tots of the lot was Jerry Moore of Winona, R C, who raised the KS-bushel crop. II. Is the son of a Methodist circuit rider and tbe youngest of nine children. Ilo raised his com on the parsonage lot. and consequently had no rent to pay for tt, but Ii charged himself $.1 for the rent, in calculating the cost of the crop. Floyd Cayer of Oklahoma Is another of th llttl fellows. He raised his corn on land that his father rents from an Indian. II Is th youngest of three children, and Is still ut school. He plans to make enough money to continue through an agricultural college. This year, In an open competition with men at Ardmore, h. won f23 in gold and the boys' ptlia of ta. The people of Ard more promised to end the Kiy to Wash ington in th spring, but Senator Uor offered th slate prise, and the boy won that. Next year he plans to put five acres In cotton. His list of prises Is re markably various. He won a Jersey row worth fjo, a pair of shoes, an overcoat worth $10. two pigs, f,V In rash, a Ji suit case, a 15 bat, a rug sod, an ax. Joe Hton of Georgia . another boy prise winner, who ha. to walk thr. mile, to school, and whose father farms on half shares. These are some sample, of the corn club boys. Not only have they all raised big crops, but the corn from neb of these record crops has been sold for seed to surrounding farmers for next year at a high as U a bushel, and each of the demonstration acre has been visited by an average of 100 farmers, who wanted pointers on how It waa don. No wonder the official of ths Depart ment of Agriculture are pleased. It Is the biggest stride toward doubling th corn crop pf the United (states thut has yet been made. Country Life in Ameilca.
