You will observe that the program il
brief and it is made so for the purpose
of doing q great deal of business in {
short time, in fact Wednesday,, Feb
ruary g. is to be the big day of the ses
sion, and those who miss being present
on that day will miss much in the shap'
of Information that money can't buy.
Every farmer who wants to learn how
to select the proper kind Of corn TO,
seed should be on hand. He can learr
how to pick out good ear of corn
for seed the moment he sees it. and w
will venture the assertion that there arr
not one hundred farmers in the county
today who can do this unless they have
learned from a specialist like Prof
Cole, - Ea5@g-
There will only be another issue o.
the LEADER before the Institute will b
held, and it seems that enough has beer
said through its columns to arouse
every farmer in the county to the i'm
portance of the Institute. Surely thers
is no man in the county so blind to his
own interests as to neglect q chance tc
study corn, wheat and oats from scien.
tific and practical standpoint. H.
The LEADER is practically donating
beautiful buggy and Joe Millett three
small cash prizes and the Canton
merchants $1oO in cash to arouse an
interest among the farmers which il
entirely for their special benefit and
the welfare Of ali, because as the farm
er prospers so we all prosper % &,,
The LEADER intends to continue stht
prize business for another year and We
expect the merchants will do the same,
and we shall feel repaid if the interest
in better seed and better crops shall
produce the result we hope for. There
can be no question as to the benefits If
the farmers will do their part
If a farmer has lot of poor corn he
is the man who wants good corn ~
If any farmer can't afford to give a
bushel of corn for this grand object, let
him bring in his corn for the benefit of
the scoring committee and he can haveit
back if he wants it. The LEADER is not
in this contest for gain. We have gone
into this seed corn business solely for
the benefit of the farmer, because the
writer now as in years long past, has
always tried to do whatever he could to
aid the farmer in his efforts to better
his condition.
There ought to be at least three or
four of the best samples of corn from
every township in the county. Some
of the corn men over in Grant have
promised to be represented. The only
townships so far represented are Eden,
Fairview, Canton, Dayton, Lynn, La
Valley; Highland. Lincoln and Norway.
Half dozen or more of the big farm
ers in Norway, have promised to be in
the contest but only one so far has
showed up. What's the matter with
Norway? Why don't Perry and Grant
as we'll as Delapre, Springdale, and
the other townships show up. There
is room for ALL and Saturday January
30, will be the last day on which corn,
wheat and oats will be received.
