,89 worth ; of turkeys. She bought
nothing in the way of food for the
turkeys. Not to be outdone her hus

Harris Wins Prize
In the preliminary search for mas
ter farmers in the state more than
HO county agents submitted write-ups
of the farmers selected for inspection
in their respective counties., These
histories were submitted to the Pro
gressive Farmer and were graded by
Df. Poc, the editor, C. L. Newman,
associate editor, and Mr. Marshall,
business manager of that publication.
A prize was offered the. county agent
who handed in the best write-up
From more than 80 papers submitted
the committee selected that of Macon
county's agent as the best. According
to one of the committee the write-up
of Charlie Tcague surpascd the next
best paper by 80 per cent.
When informed that he had won
the prize Mr. Harris stated that other
county agents must be very poor writ
ers. However, the, citizens of -Macon
know that ' their county agent has an
excellent subject in the life of Charlie
Teague. The history of this man and
his wite reads more like a romance
than that of a hard working family.

;, acre of land joining the school lut ;
'built toilets; furnished floor oil, and
a new Diack Doara. 1 ne state nurse
