T he Boys Corn Growing Contest

The organization of The Barber
County Farmers Institute assures the
boys Of Barber County Of the right to
participate in the "Boys' Corn Con-
test" or any other contest that they
desire to enter into.
There will be two classes. An GA"
class consisting of young men from 16
to 20 years Of age, and "B" class
consisting Of boys from 10 to Is years
of age. The requirements of the two
classes are some different in regard to
seed etc.
There will be prizes offered to the
different classes. The first prize will
be free trip to Manhattan during
the holidays to the different contests
held by the Agricultural College at
that time Of the year. There will be
about three prizes offered to each
class, the prize to be determined by a
committee appointed for that pur-
pose.
The Institute will meet Saturday,
March 9th to discuss these contests
and the seed-corn question also, as
well as any other matter that it may
be deemed advisable to bring up be-
fore the Institute.
A bulletin will be issued and all
boys enrolling in the different classes
will be required to come up to certain
requirements in the way of planting,
cultivation etc. The Institute will
furnish seed-corn for the "a" class.
THE 'B" class will be expected to get
she best possible corn obtainable but
can get it anywhere they please. 1t
will be better, however, to get it in
the county on account of climatic
conditions.
All boys expecting to enroll in the
different classes should begin the
preparation Of their ground soon and
final enrolment will be April 9Th,
when the seed-corn will be distribut-
ed by the Institute at the regular

NEW INDUSTRY
IS LAUNCHED
Promotion Committee Places Its
Seal of Approval on
Bean Machine

AT short meeting of the promotion
garoba industry was officially launched
and may now be elassed with the Others
of the Islands, albeit it is the most in.
fantile of infants in that line.
The promotion committee has always
taken a fatherly interest in the pros
pect of the industry of converting the
beans into fodder growing to respect
able proportions. 1t is interesting to
note that the meeting yesterday, held
to celebrate the first machine that can
turn out the product successfully, was
the first anniversary of the meeting at
which a suggestion of the promotion
committee first started inventors work
ing on tentative machines.
The meeting was attended by Paul r.
Isenberg and Mr.. Renear, the inventor
of the machine, and was addressed by
the former, who boasts of being the
first to enter seriously into the alga-
roba bean business.
In his remarks. Mr.. 1senberg said in
part: 81 was the first one to start in
feeding algaroba beans to stock, and
everybody laughed at me for doing it.
Later other people began to do it also.
| was paying nine cents a bag, averag-
ing thirtysix pounds each, for the
beans, but, as the demand grew greater,
they rose to ten, then eleven, and this
year the gatherers are charging fifteen
cents a bag.
