Two Hundred and Sixty-four Tar t ect Youths Average 67.69 Bmhds of Corn to Acre. Hertford Couaty Bey BMli All Record* Hemarkable ProptM Hilt by ' Boy Farmer*—Monte In tercttlo( Figure*. Raleigh Time*, Dee. tth. In his annual report to the com missioner of agriculture, Mr. T. B. I'arker, in charge of the division of farmer's institutes, co-operative experiment* and boys' corn club work, reviews entertainingly the growth of his division and the re markable progress,, made in the State since 1898. Attending men's and women's institutes, for ex ample, were 64,018 people last year and all of these people did missionary work in the 97 coun-. ties. In 1898 28 institutes were held in 27 counties and in 1911 471 institutes were held in 97 counties. Many boys raised more than 100 bushels of corn to the acre and Charlie Parker, Jr., in Woodland, Hertford county, produced 236.60 bushels, beating all former world records, even beating Jerry Moore, another North Carolina boy. A Wake county boy, A. L. Bridgets, won the fourth prise In the Fourth Congressional district with a yield of 114 bushel. Dorson Kelley, another Wake county lad, prp sjuced 112.60 bushels to the acre and won the fifth prize. Of the largest corn yield in the world, Mr. Parker says: Boy*' Corn llibi. "The report* that have come in from the boys composing the corn olubs show that wo 'built wiser thnn we knew' when the first ap propriation was made for the pur pose of organizing the boys into 'Boys' Corn Clubs. Notwithstanding the dry year, the reports show an increased yield over those of last year. Fifty boys have averaged more than 100 buahels of shelled corn per aore, while one, Master Charlie W. Parker, Jr., reported 2351-2 bush els, harvest measure, from one acre. The yield was so large that I took the precaution to send down and have the corn reweighed about a month after it was first measured. This wad done in the presence of severttl witnesses. It was found that after the corn had dried out there were still 195.87 bushels of corn that tested by analysis 12.12 degrees moisture. I regard this the largest crop of corn ever grown on an acre of land in this or any other State. Proved By Teat. "In Massachusetta lastyesr and this year, the Bowker Fertiliser Company offered premiums to usen of their fertillien who grew the most corn on one acre of lane). This year a Mr. White, of Con necticut, made a yield of 160 bushels, harvest measure, made 112.68 bushels of dry corn. That yield was oonsldered remarkable acd possibly the largest well au thenticated, tested for moisture, yield ever made. Those people said our southern yields lacked authenticity, so this year I waa determined to one every precau tion possible to give out largest yield the same labratory test ths Boston people gave. The test has shown that our North Carolina boy has beat all records for dry oorn. These reports show more than mess number of bushels mads on an acre of land. They also show a determination to do farm ing. Some of the reports close with: "I made a poor yield this year, but I am not dlaoounged. I am going to do better next year." That la the way we like to hear a boy talk. It shows that there Is SCOTT'S EMULSION I something in him —a good farmer, and we are helping to develop him. Beet Demonstrator*. "The boys are my very beat demonstrators. A dozen men will f look at and inspect a boy's acre to every man who givea close iuspee tlon to the demonstration plat of a grown man. Not ouly are we ( helping the boys of th« State by this work, bnt also the men. They do not usaaliy like to be outstrip ped by a boy, so the boys are put ting the men on their mettle, with the result that we are getting larger yields from both." The average yield for the fifty prize winners of the Boys' Corn Club contest for 1911 follows: First district, 83.53 Bu Second district, 129.76 " Third district, 1 124.31 " Fourth district, 123.34 •' Fifth district, 113.13 " Sixth district, 110.01 " Seventh district, 82.32 " Eighth district, 98.44 " Ninth district, 80.24 " Tenth district, 117.38 " Total average for the ten districts, 106,24 " Largest yield, 236.66 bushels, harvest measure, or 190 bushels crib dry measure. Three boys made over 160 bushels, thirty three boys made over 100 bushels, eighty-nine made over 76 bushels, "each per acre. Twelve hundred and sixty-five entered the contest. These rep resenting 89 couuties. The hun dred and sixty-four, representing 66 counties, made final reports. These two hundred and sixty-four reports giving an average of 67.69 bushels per acre.
