BOYS EARN $100* EfiCH FROM 4-H I
POTATO HARVEST"
Members of the 4-H Potato Club
under the leadership of Mrs, B.J.
Single, will clear more'than $100
each for their summer's work, it
was revealed this ■ week by" the Un
ivcrsi ty Extension Service.
There were 12 members in the
club, each of whom was allowed one*
fourth acre of ground near the Un
iversity, The ground wrs ploughed
and fertilized cooperatively at
a cost of $20 per man‘b or.. The boy:
■ themselves, did the hoeing and
• weeding, and picked up the potatoe:
when dug. They were harvested
Friday and Saturday of last week, j
Members were allowed to keep
enough for family use. The rest, I
amounting to 19,644 pounds of first
grade potatoes and 1,960 pounds of
seconds were sold by the Community
Marketing Association at .08 a
pound. The cost for digging and
hauling will be deducted from the
proceeds and the balance prorated
among the members of the Club, Mrs,
Lydia Fohn-Hansen, home demonstra
tion leader, estimated that each
boy will receive well over $100.
While some of the plots produced
more potatoes than others, due
either to better cultivation or to
better soil, each boy will receive
the same sum, but the Extension
Service points put that what a boy
may lose in this way by the coop
erative plan, he gains in reduced
costs from cooperative preparation
of the ground, digging and hauling.
