Intensive Farming Yields by Twelve Thousand Young Farmers
A Department of Agriculture program tracked over twelve thousand boys under eighteen who cultivated one acre of corn. The top state winners, South Carolina and Mississippi, reported leading yields of 152.5 and 147 bushels respectively, with Arkansas and Virginia close behind. The average across all participants was about 60 bushels per acre, suggesting methods that could double national yields with proper cultivation and fertilizer. The article also notes wide potato yields and advice on improving agricultural practices. It discusses blushing as a nervous condition, its causes, and remedies, including training and confidence-building for children and simple health measures for adults. It includes humorous anecdotes about social embarrassment and a traveling salesman promoting health products.
