During his seven years of club
work Morris has completed de-
monstrations in field and truck
crops, beef cattle, dairying, and
swine. Morris' father died in 1937
and since a very small boy Morris
has had to do a great deal of the
farming to help his mother. He
bought a tractor in 1948 and since
that time a great deal of his
plowing has had to be done after
school. This past year Morris has
/aised peanuts,, tomatoes and
watermelons. He had four acres
of watermelons in 1950 and pro-
duced approximately 30,000 pounds
of melons. A large percentage of
this crop hit the early market and
Morris sold them for |140 per
100 lbs. His total income was $98
per acre. Careful selection of
seed, proper fertilizing helped him
to raise melons of good quality
and #5 per cent were sold as No.
