At the same time, the boys are earning money with which to buy Liberty Bonds, thus helping In a double barreled manner to help win the war. Members of the Com Club In South Carolina produced last year 26,813.21 bushels of corn at an average cost of forty cents a bushel, the average yield being fifty-three bushfls to the aire Figuring corn at $2.00 per bushel. wWch is conservative, the total net profit was $42,685.47. The totnl net profit resulting from the Boys' Pig Club in the State was $13,998.01 The total net profits of South Carolina farter boys in these two projects for the year was $Rfi,687.48 There is an effort being made to more than double the membership of the Corn and Pig Clubs during pres ent year.
