' ' I (By J M, Gray.l '.This has been an unusually hard year for the Corn Club members In tbls county, due to a dry spring and an ( excessively wet summer. Yet there bave been some very good rec ords made which goes to show thai good farm practices pay. no matter what the seasons may be. .Especially commendable is tbe ; spirit shown by those who reported It requires considerable more cour age and manhood to report on yields that are low than it does to report on yields that are high, and there is no doubt but that all the boys re porting would have made much bet- - ter yields if the seasons had been more favorable. These reports show that the boys are learning some of the important lessons which corn club work is teaching, viz: business methods, accuracy and the princi ples which constitute good citizenship of. Which stick-to-it-iveness Is an im portant'' one. We know that a boy 'who makes a report on 16..1 bushels of corn when he was expecting at least three times that amount when he was planting has the making; of a successful man in him. It shows that he realizes there is greater honor in a task well done than there . la In bushels ot corn grown or in dollars in money made, that ihe successful corn club boy as well as the successful business man is meas ured by the completed enterprise and not by parts of it. . In scoring the reports and determ ining which boys won the highest honors, the following points were considered: yield 30 points, profit f , 1 I . . 1 . a ., av points, written nisiory or me crop 20 points, exhibit of corn at some fair 20 points. In scoring, tbe boy having the highest yield is given 30 points on yield, the one making the greatest profit is given 30 points on profit, the one writing the best his tory is given 20 points on history, and the one making the best exhibit is given 20 points on exhibit. The others are scored in proportion to these. The judRe at the county fair did not score the exhibit. there so I have given each boy who exhibited a score of 1 .". points on "exhibit. The other points were scored by tiie J3tate agent according to the above outline. In studying the report given below one will see that the boy making the third highest yield, which was bushels less than the highest yield, won first place in the county. This was because he did ail the work re quired as best he could: that is. be reported the yield, the expenses and receipts of the crop, wrote a hitsory of the work done and make an ex hibit at the county fair, while the boy who made the highest yield only reported on the yield and expenses and receipts of the crop and failed to make a complete history of the crop and did not exhibit his corn. (The rules' governing the scoring of reports are made by the office at Washington and not by the county agent or the county fair association, and govern all members in all States. ) Below is given in tabulated form the reports of the boys and their scores: TECOBIIC UB RECORDS -' - - NAME OF MEMBER L - 1 POST OFFICE 5 r I 3 - r - x " 5 5 C g S. - - i i r j i I Biggerstaff.
