the pineapple first. This can be done
easily enough by cutting a slice off the
top with the outstanding crown of
leaves; then slice off the bottom.
The remaining cone with its two fiat
ends can be easily followed out by pass

side of the fat end to the other, bring

skin as possible without cutting

the core out you will have a perfect

bottom slice and cover it again with
the crown leaves and the top slice you
have a hollow receptacle into which
you can put your fruit salad just be-

Remember the corn contest takes
place or January 30 and 81. Pick out
your corn and do your best. It Is
we'll known that some farmers had
poor corn last season but there is
enough good corn to make a splendid
display. Don't hesitate because you
may think your corn is not good
enough. Pick out the best 10 ears
you can find and have it scored. The
result may surprise you, besides you
will get the benefit OF knowing how
to improve your seed. No farmer
should hesitate who has corn. It is
not SO much what you ma wiz In
prizes as what you may learn in the
great and important study Of corn as
illustrated by experts.
