CORN GROWING IN RHODE ISLAND. 



The Rhode Island State College and 

 the State Board of Agriculture, in co- 

 operation with other organizations, 

 have for the last two years been con- 

 ducting a corn growing contest, the 

 purpose of which nas been to Increase 

 an interest in this important crop. 

 Classes have been arranged not only 

 for adult corn growers but also for 

 boys. In order to bring in the girls, 

 classes in baking, canning and sewing 

 have been included. This has resulted 

 in the formation of a state corn grow- 

 ing association and the formulation 

 of plans for holding a much larger 

 coc'es;t Ti-d exhibit the coming year, 

 in Providence. 



Rhode Island stands in the forefront 

 of corn growing states in production 

 per acre, the average being about 41 

 bushels. The record for Rhode Island, 



however, is over 100 bushels and it 

 would seem readily possible to raise 

 the average production per acre at 

 least 10 bushels and add to the in- 

 ccme of corn growers in the state an 

 aggregate of from $70,000 to $80,000 a 

 year. The slogan for the Corn Grow- 

 ing Association will, therefore, be: 

 "An average of 50 bushels of corn per 

 acre in Rhode Island." If the pur- 

 pose of this association can be accom- 

 plished, Rhode Island will lead all the 

 rest of the states in the country in 

 corn production per acre. In addition 

 to corn, it is proposed to include in 

 the contest this year all kinds of 

 plants of the grass family including 

 small grains and useful and orna- 

 mental grasses, and to show the im- 

 portance of this one family of plants 

 as a source of food and other neces- 

 sities. Anybody who grows any of the
