To Corn Club Boys
of Wheeler County:
We know that each club mem
ber has done his best and though
the yield may not bo as large as
you had hoped, we want a com
plete record of your year’s work.
The boys have promised to stick
to the end, even though they do
not make a peck. That is the
kind of spirit that will always
win.
There are or ly two reports to
be made out this year and they
aresimpleand easily understood.
Read them carefully and answer
all questions as best you can.
Do you know why we want these
reports so badly? Listen: Each
report represents a corn club
boy and his year’s work. It is
therefore a very important paper
and is the only record of you and
your work. If you have not re
ceived these report blanks you
will receive them soon.
With these reports we also
want a fine ten ear exhibit. Se
lect medium sized ears with well
filled out butts and tips, and
cobs of one color. Write a neat
little story of "How I Grew my
Acre of Corn”, and make it as
attractive as possible Use pic
tures, if you wish, to show your
method of preparation, cultiva
tion, seed selection, etc. Then
carry your Written story, the two
reports, and your ten ear exhib
it to your county contest, which
will be held at the court room in
Alamo on Tuesday, October 20th
at 10 o’clock a. m.
Before gathering year corn,
select some fine seed for your
acre next year. Pick out me
dium sized stalks Chat have made
you the most corn and select your
seed from best ears of such
stalks. Store in dry place, safe
from rats and weevils. Be sure
your corn is gathered according
to rules. If you make 100 bush
els or more per acre haye your
county superintendent of schools
appoint the committee to meas
ure the corn and sign report.
Sow oats this fall where you
have corn this year, as prizes
will be given next year on oats.
Hoping you much success, I am
Yours truly,
