The corn club boys demon
strated that an average yield of
45 3-10 bushels per acre can be
raised at an average cost per
bushel of 35 cents.Thisaverage
yield of 45 3-10 bushels per
acre represents yields from
118 1-2 bushels down to practi
cally nothing. The average yield
of the state as a wholeisaround
20 bushels per acre. The corn
club boys therefore a little more
than doubled the yield of the
older farmers.
About 850 boys received in
structions in the care and man
agement of pigs, and those re
porting show that the value of
the pigs in the beginning of the
year to be around $5.50 and
that the average value of the
pigs at the time of makingtheir
report to be around $20.
About 525 boys have receiv
ed instructions in the growing
o! peanuts and their reports
show an average yield per acre
ot 49 4-10 bushels. The highest
yield being 222 bushels, which
was in Randolph county.

wived instructions in the grow
ing ot one-tenth acre gardens
in tomatoes and other vege
tables. I he 1.169 girls report
ing show that approximately
1,000.000 pounds of tomatoes
and other vegetables were
grown on these 1,169 one-tentn i
acre garden-, or, in other words
on 116 acres. The reports show
the value of these vegetables to
be $22,433.60, which is an av
erage value of $ 19.20 per girl
on her one-tenth acre or $192
per acre.
Five hundred and sixty girls
received instructions in the care
and management of poultry and
the 193 that reported show that
the value of the poultry that
they raised to be $2,277.65.The
.cost of raising this poultry was
$635.15, thereby giving a profit
of $1,642.20 for the girls.
