This score card Is arranged for a
number of ears Of corn, ten being the
usual number entered as prize. On
the first requirement of trueness to
type, 1t is required that the ears be
similar in every respect, and any fall
ure means one or more points off, and
as to the shape Of the ear the same In
color the grain must be uniform and
true to the type, and yellow corn must
be on red cobs, and white corn on
white cobs. The. market condition ap-
plies to the flrmness and soundness Of
the corn on the cob, its freedom from
mould and injury from insects and the
like. The tips must not be too taper
ing, and should be we'll filled and reg
ular, and on the butts the kernels
should extend we'll over the butts, leav-
ing a deep depression when the shank
is removed. The kernels should be of
uniform shape and size and should
touch on the cob from tip to crown. In
the northern section of the state the
standard length Of ear is SO to 91s
inches, in the central So to ga, and in
the southern 9 to 10. The circumfer-
ence of the ear two-thirds Of the way
up from the butt should be, in the
northern section 6l@ to inches, central
Ga to IN, southern to 121a. The
proportion Of corn should be Sc to 81
per cent. A red cob in white corn or
a white cob in yellow corn should be
cut five points; for one or two mixed
kernels, a cut of one-fourth point is
made; for four or more mixed kernels
a cut of one-half point; kernels miss
ing from the ear are counted as mixed.

Officers of the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' Association are making an
effort to get Judge Cowan of the ma
tional cattle growers association, to
attend the meeting Of the Iowa Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association here
next month. He is the attorney who
engineered things thru at Denver
couple of years ago and is also a cat
tie grower himself and well versed in
cattle matters. In addition to him
there will be some other prominent
men nationally who will attend the
convention. The meetings Of the as.
ISOLATION will be held the same week
as that of the State Agricultural So
ciety and the State horticultural So
ciety.
The mixup in this county over the
position of county superintendent Of
schools is a unique one and probably
a similar situation will not arise again
in many years in the state. Mrs. Jen-
ME Huegle two years ago was the
democratic candidate for the position.
II. c. Thornburg was reelected on the
republican ticket. Failing to get this
election on the democratic ticket Mrs.
Huegle this year sought the republic
an nomination. Thinking that her eff
forts were but feeble and that the
party would not nominate on the re-
publican ticket against the republican
office holder a person who was the
democratic candidate but two years
before the friends of Thornburg made
little or no effort and at the primaries
HRS. Huegle won out. 1t was sur
prise. but it was too late then. 1t was
also discovered after her nomination
that she did not hold a state certificate
and was unqualified then. Had that
fact been made use of she probably
would have been defeated at the pri-
mares, where ulduy peopie Soteu lOl
her Just because she was woman.
Mrs. Huegle had four months after
her nomination in which to study up
for the state examination. For a GER
tificate of the grade required to quail
fly for superintendent it is necessary
to make grades Of not less than 50 in
every subject. During the four months
great many letters by friends of Mrs.
Huegle We're written to State Super
intendent Riggs asking him to give her
certificate. The day of political GER
tificates seems, however, to have pass
ed and the four months could have
better been employed by studying. One
OF Mrs. Huegle's grades was "a and
another 25 still another 5S and one 6.
