In all this work for corn improvement we should not lose 

 sight of the importance of other points besides the greatest yield. 



In the proper order the basis of award should be as follows : 



Greatest yield per acre. 



Best exhibit of ears. 



Best Story of crop production. 



Best showing of profit on investrrient. 



Stir up an interest in Agriculture in your school district by 

 having a contest, and if possible award premiums. You have an 

 opportunity to be one of the first to organize an Agricultural 

 Club. It will help to make you a leader in your community. 



The ingenious teacher will find an almost unlimited field of 

 operation in which contests may be devised, that will develop skill, 

 accuracy, and lead to practical and scientific results.
