COLLEGE COURSE
ON SMALL FARM
Waterloo, la. — An Income ot $800
from two acres within a few months
Is the record made last summer by
Olenn Trapp, a seventeen-year-old boy.
The boy, who formerly was a news
carrier, paid for his land with the
onions that he raised and made a nest
sum In addition on other vegetables.
▲ desire to earn enough money to
go to college was the incentive for the
venture by young Trapp. Early last
spring he purchased two acres of
ground In Beaver Gardens, ten miles
north of Des Moines, on the Perry In
terurban. The land cost him $500, and
be made the first payments with
money he bad earned and saved while
carrying papers.
The boy erected a tent on his two
acres and lived there during the sum
mer, doing his own cooking and work
ing from dawn till dark on his small
farm. He planted the most of his
land to onions, also putting In a few
melons, potatoes and sweet corn. By
thinning out his onion crop early In
the summer be realised nearly $00 on
young onions. The onions he harvest
ed later are recognized by experts to
be about the best grade and quality
that have been raised In Iowa. He
took out nearly 800 bushels of onions,
for which he received $1 per bushel.
His melons, potatoes and sweet corn
have brought him an additional In
come.
Within another year Trapp expects
to have sufficient funds to complete
a full college course. His success
with bis two acres Is considered an
excellent example of the possibilities
of intensive farming.
