"On the other hand, Henry, never

IOWA CORN SHOW
EDUCATIONAL
Many Valuable Lessons to Be
Pointed Out at Exposition.

The most important phase Of the
Iowa corn show at Des Moines this
year will be the educational features.
Chief among these will be the plan of
scoring all corn that Is exhibited. a
large number OF expert judges have
been employed. and every sample
which is shown will be scored In de-
tail, and the score card attached to
the sample This system will enable
the man who fails to get into the mon
ey to see in just what points his sam
pie fell below the ones that received
the ribbons. 1t will also enable VS.
itors to see more clearly the differ.
ences between the various samples,
and will teach them the points that
go to make up good ear of corn.
The termination test is another edu-
cational feature that is bound to prove
of very great value All the leading
prize samples will be subjected to this
test:Any that fall to grow, on send
up only weak sprouts, will be discard
ed. This will be striking object les
son on the value of strong seed corn.
It is of especial interest this year,
when SO much OF the seed corn in the
state has been injured by freezing.
A number of lecturers have also
been arranged for. These men will
talk on various phases OF agriculture
but the central theme will always be
corn. The management is putting
forth every means in its power te
make the seventh annual corn expo
sition the greatest educational gather
ing ever held in Iowa
