Joe Weston and the corn club prove soil skills and enterprise
Joe Weston at fourteen leads a farm family turning corn and potatoes into a profitable, planned operation. With help from merchant Somerville and friend Tom Ralston, he borrows ideas on canning, leaf humus, and seed selection, builds a record book, breeds high ear corn, and prepares for a county weigh‑in of the harvest.
