I. PRODUCTION PROJECTS 



PROJECT 1 

 GROWING CORN FOR PROFIT 



Materials. Selected seed ; an acre or more of land ; the use of the necessary tools ; machinery. 



Directions. Consult all the literature available on corn production. Confer with the best corn 

 growers of the community regarding the variety to use, sources of seed, methods of manuring and 

 preparing the land, time and method of planting and cultivating the crop. Make and keep a record 

 of everything you do ; keep an accurate account of the time required, and the cost of each opera- 

 tion. Use only such methods as are practicable in commercial corn growing, but leave nothing undone 

 that is practicable that will increase the yield. Enter a full statement of your operations in the 

 blanks which follow. 



SOIL RECORD 



Note. A record of the soil will furnish a basis for determining what sort of fertilizer, if any, to use, as well as the 

 nature of the cultivation that will prove the most desirable. The references will give specific information and should 

 be studied. Others may be obtained that will prove valuable.
