Moring over 200 more points
than its nearest competitor. These
boys certainly knew their beans

contest there were four samples
nt oatm, soybeans, wheat, and les
pedesa to be placed according to
their seed value. In addition there
were thirty samples of seed com
monly grown in North Carolina to

ficult to the Franklin County
group as there was no tobacco,
corn, or cotton to be ^identified.
These are the most common grown
crops in the county.
In a preliminary practice eon
test held at the County Agent's
Office last Monday between the
Agriculture Departments of the
Connty, the Youngsvllle team won
