The Ontario Department of Agri- culture is co-operating with the Ki- wanis Club of Kingston im conduct- ing a boys' potato growing contest this year. The contest is to be open to thirty boys from twelve to eigh- teen years, inclusive, residing with- in thirty miles of Kingston. The seed is being furnished by members of the Kiwanis Club to those 'toys who are enrolled by the Club. 2 These Kiwanis business men feel that there are big possibilities for the boy on the farm, providing busi- ness-like methods are adopted. To prove that their faith is justified, they are asking the boy entering the contest to keep accurate accounts of all expenses and receipts in con- nection with his plot, on forms pro- vided for that purpose. Further- more, the contest aims to teach ap- proved methods of potato culture to the bOys in their teens, the farmers of to-morrow. Boys might not be interested in "just farmin'," but are interested in better farming, especi- ally where given some sense of own- ership. The Dooley variety of potatoes has been selected on account of its spec- ial adaptability to the potato sec- tions of this county, being resistant to dradght in the summer months and also more resistant to the many potato diseases. The scores of varie- ties of potatoes grown is a curse to potato growing in Ontario to-day. Shippers in the various counties can rarely secure a car load of one vari- ety and . frequently they are even mixed in the bags. A premium 'is always paid for a car load of one variety. Why not go after it? These are the things that make farming pay! Suggestions will be given later for growing potatoes. If these sug- gestions are followed as closely as conditions will permit, the boy should have good success with his crop. Excellent prizes are to be given for those making the best showing, and the Kiwanians are anxious that the boys should win this contest with the pdGiatoes they are supplying. A number of prizes will be given based on the scale of points included in the rules." The first two prizes will probably be a short courde at Ontario Agricultural Colleges with railway fare and board paid. Other prizes will be donated by Kiwanians. Rules of Competition. 1.
