Q THE BOYS' CORN CLUB WORK. The hoys corn clubs have come to stay. No propaganda ever started in this country has spread so rapidly or Since the begin- three done so much good. ning of the movement years ago, over 12,000 have joined it and more will join. The winners gain prizes, but whether any prize is gained or not, the boys who try to learn the true inwardness of farming in a way that could not be learned from any other source with equal thoroughness, says the Starke Telegraph. But the knowledge imparted to the boys is only one-half of the henefit derived. \When we go down to bot- tom facts it is the fathers of the boys, in most instances, who direct the work. Nearly all of them, in doing this, run up against ‘“‘new-fangled notions,” but they do not feel uneasy for if the experiment proves a failure no blame falls on “the old man.” But in carrying out the work they are naturally anxious that their boys should come out well, and thus are compelled to study the problem thor- oughly, perhaps for the first time in their lives. It is safe to say that, ex- cept in cases of bad luck, the boys' acre of corn is the best that was ever raised on the farm. While the “potions” were “new-fangled” they brought success, and if the boys® acre produced 70 bushels of corn while “the old man” had never made more than 10, he will be pretty sure to ab- andon the old slip-shod way and ad- faising corn. about hoys opt a new system for The improvements that started in the corn field will spread to the other de- Pa <time. Since the agricultural depart- ment in Washington began its demon- siration work the corn production in the South has increased 15 per ceni. [ MR. FLAGLER'S GREAT ACHIEVE- MENT. The Manufacturer's Record of Jan- nwary 4 devotes three pages 1o a -lv-; seription of the “Over-the-Sca Rail-| read,” now completed to Key West. The writer pays Mr. Flagler the following splendid tribute: “To a nation the appropriations from whose treasury total a billion dollars a year the expenditure of a bundred million dollars, more or less, distributed over a period of years makes little difference, but the con- struction from the private resources of one man of i50 miles of the most costly railroad ever built is an under- aking of stupendous significance even in this day of almost incalcula- ble fortunes.
