The acti yield of 'the "one-tenth in the competition and ithe figured yield per mere. The est total acre was only 13 bu While thi this is pos- sibly above the average yield of po- tatoes in the county, still it could not be considered to be a large yield in a competition of this nature. It might be of interest to know that the highest 'yield of the competitor who won first prize in Russell county potato growing comtest this year had a total yield of 652 bushels per acre at a net profit of $302.50 per acre; so that there is room for improve: ment in this work. While the en- tries were not as large as anticipa- ted, nor was there the interest and enthusiasm displayed by the ti- tors that one would wish to see in a competition of this nature, still aiter all when it is considered that this was the first competition of its Lind held in Frontena¢ county, the results were very encouraging and there was {no doubt but what the competition had stimulated an interest mot only in potato growi but in the other farm crops as well among the young Sen who took part in the competi- acre pl N Should the potato growing com- test be continued next year it is hoped to receive thirty or forty ap- plications for entering the compe- tition.
