Boys Should Get in the Corn Growing Game Under Instruction From County Agent. Jasper county will again this year have a boys’ corn club. The contest will be open to all boys of the county between the ages of twelve and twenty years. Each member must paint, cultivate and hamst one acre of corn without the aid of any person. Prizes will be awarded in the different townships based upon the yield per appearance of field or cultivation, and cost of production. It is hoped to be able to send one boy from each township to Purdue next winter for the short course. The County Agent of Agriculture, who will be appointed the first of next will visit the plots of the different boys and advise with them as to the best methods of treating their ground. All boys who wish to enter this contest should send their names at once to Ernest Lamson, of Rensselaer, who will send out enrollment cards and full rules governing the contests. Do not put It off; Act at once.
