As we think of porn planting tini". may we think of planting at least one ac re of prize winning corn. Transylva nia farmers just got too much pride and determination to lose a good thing aft t once they have won it. .lust one way to hold the production corn growing record over nu:* friends in the neighboring county and that is to produce more corn per acre than they do and at a lower cost p< r bushel. The more farmers we have in this contest, the more good we will get out of it: a finer spirit of cooperation will be shown and last but not least, our chances for winning Will be better. Select your best piece of ground, see that a good 3eed bed is prepared. TTse the very best seed corn available of an adapted variety. Fertilize well using tin1 kind and amount recommended by the experiment station for this section. Do a real job of cultivation and if you don't win a production prize, you will greatly profit by your increased yield. At least 100 farmers is the goal that has been sot for Henderson county en tries, according to Information from the county agent, with a targe group al ready signed up.
