Expects Hundred Bushel Corn Yield By Newton County Boys.

Newton County Enterprise. County Superintendent Schanlaub, accompanied by Prof. F. M. Shanklin, head of the department of club work of Purdue University, made a trip over Newton county Saturday inspecting the “com acres” of the boys who are members of the Newton County Boys’ Com Club. Owing to the rains some of the boys of the club will not oe able to compete at the annual com show, as their crop has been destroyed. There are, however, about 23 members who will be able to qualify. Mr. Schanlaub and Mr. Shanklin visited seven of these “com acres” and were pleased with results that the boys are accomplishing. They estimate that at least two of the “com acres” visited will yield better than 100 bushels.
