BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS 



(Chapter 27) 



1. In 1913 Walker Dunson of Alabama led the corn 

 club boys in the crop of that year. He raised 232 7/10 

 bushels on one acre at a cost of only 19 9/10 cents per 

 bushel. What was the net profit on his acre with corn 

 selling at 50 cents a bushel? 



2. Jerry Moore, a former corn champion of South 

 Carolina, raised 228 75/100 bushels at a cost of 42 cents 

 per bushel. If each crop sold at 50 cents per bushel, 

 which had the greater profit? 



3. The ordinary yield of tomatoes is about 8 tons per 

 acre. The best culture secures 18 tons per acre. If the 

 canning factory pays $8.50 a ton, how much greater is 

 the income from 3% acres of tomatoes given the best cul- 

 ture than that from the same acreage given ordinary 

 treatment ? 



4. Merle Hyer of Lewiston has the world's record po- 

 tato yield — 764 bushels per acre. It cost him $60.00 and 

 his net profit was $398.00. What was the selling price 

 per bushel?
