girls have won the right to stand
shoulder to shoulder with, the boys In
their splenSad work in raising good
corn. 1 nsSer saw a more uniform
exhibit OF corn, and the one hundred
or more samples displayed was some
thing to command the admiration Of
all. I am proud Of Lincoln county
boys and girls and / am proud OF the
man who has organized this great
work"
COUNTY COMMISSIONER N. SMITH OF
LENNOx:
II am surprised and delighted with
everything. The boys are teaching
their fathers what good corn means
and the girls are certainly entitled to
the admiration OF all who love home
comforts. The girl who can bake
good bread and biscuit Is home
treasure, and the boy Of IL or Is who
can raise prize winning corn is the
future farm king of the country.
Since the corn contests began In this

discussed home and educational ques-
tions and all enjoyed his forceful and
sensible discussion of improved con-
ditions on the farm and what the fu-
ture had in store for those who were
willing to keep step to rural progress.
After his address he was highly COM
plimented by many who gave him a
hearty greeting. When the meeting
closed the Governor was escorted to
the exhibition room where he was
greeted by hundreds during his exam
ination of the exhibits. His opinion
of what he saw is given In another
part OF this article. Gov. Vessey was
guest OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Thorson at supper and was accom-
panied by Chairman Cook Of the State
Central committee and Prot. Cham
berlain. The Governor left for Mitch
ell on the evening train bound Tor the
capital.
Prot. Holden of Ames, President
Slagle of Brookings college, State
Superintendent Ustrud and Mrs.
Margaret Olmstead were the speakers
billed for Friday fore and afternoon.
The editor Of the LEADER inter-
viewed several of the visitors as to
their opinion Of the exhibits and the
contest in general and found them all
enthusiastic in praise of the boys and,
girls as we'll as Prof. Lawrence who
had labored so hard to bring about
such important features In rural
school work. All we're surprised at
the quality and scope of the exhibits
embraced In tie contest and were
prolific in praise of Lincoln county In
general. We quote the opinion OF
Governor .Vessey and other gentle
men as follows:
GOVERNOR VEssEY: "a magnificent
display. 1t is very gratifying to note
the splendid work of the boys and the
hibit by the girls, and the result is
something every man and woman in
Lincoln county can be Justly proud
of. wish the people of the state
could see what the boys and girls are
doing here. Superintendent Law
renee has set an example that every
county should follow and his work is
worthy of highest commendation. l
am surprised and delighted with this
great work.
PROF. g. P. HOLDEN OF AMEs COLLEGE:
II have travelled everywhere in the
west and am pleased to say that this
is the best exhibit I ever saw. I
can't express my appreciation Of this
great work. It Is simply magnificent;
and such corn-and the splendid work
of the girls Is an inspiration. Super
iptendent Lawrence has set the pace
for u al to follow.

PRESIDENT sLAGLE OF BROOKINas
COLLEGE,:

II had no idea of what Lincoln
county had in store for us when ar
rived in Canton with the other gen.
tlemen invited to speak at your con-
test. It's wonderful demonstration
of what our Dakota boys and girls
can do under intelligent direction,
but the exhibits are far in advance of
anything I had reason to anticipate,
yet am aware that Lincoln county
has been the leader and the origina-
tor Of corn contests among men and
boys, but the work Of girls is new
feature and certainly one that will
bring happiness and pleasure to thou
sands Of homes, and to the people of
the entire state as the good work goes
on. 1 wish could give a medal to
every boy and girl engaged in this
progressive work-they deserve the
best you can give them; they are
worthy Of all praise. Superintendent
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-12-10


little boys pluck and perseverance.
Henry is under II years of age, and
we met the little fellow shortly
after he arrived and we doubt if there
was a prouder boy in Canton during
the contest and he won prize.
The corn on the whole was very
even in size and showed that the boy S
had given much of their time to
cultivation although the score varied
as much as 80 points.
The county was divided into two
districts, the division line being the
section line one mile south of Canton
running west to Turner county.
Exhibits in class A were raised by
boys oyer IL years, and in class B by
boys of II and under.
Helmer Strand won frst prize in
class A south, and Oscar H. Renli
first in class 8.
Roy Beck won first prize in class A
north, and Clifford Millage first in
class B.
The first prize in the boys COM
position contest was won by Eli
Jensen, age Is, of district 43, and the
first prize in the girls composition
contest was won by Pearl Wardwell
age Is, Harrisburg.
The following is the result of the
various scores.

county our corn has improved one
hundred per cent. Think Of that
alone as wealth producer. Think
what it means to all our people, for
everybody prospers as the farmer
prospers. It's glorious work and it
must continue, and the man who
succeeds County Superintendent
Lawrence must be able to carry on
this great work. Think of the pride
and spirit that finds place In the
youthful breasts Of these little workers
through the praise heaped upon them
and from the prizes they won and
from the words Of cheer given by
Governor Vessey and other noted
speakers, and We can easily under.

The second annual boys corn grow
ing contest was held in this city last
week on Thursday and Friday and
with the boys came the girls who pre-
sented samples of their work in bread
making, biscuits, sewing and darn
ing, all arranged for competition un-
der the careful direction Of County
Superintendent Lawrence. Consider
Ing the horrible condition of the
roads-mud knee deep--the number
of exhibits were remarkably large,
and some of the girls were compelled
to send their work by mail, which
failed to arrive until Saturday, but
these contestants will not be forgot
ten. No one expected rain and mud
in December and Of course those who
were late are not to blame.
The big double basement room of
the Syndicate block was used for dis
playing the exhibits and here again
the overhanging clouds marred much
Of the beauty Of the scene for it was
almost too dark to see we'll, yet all ac-
cepted the conditions cheerfully.
On one table we're placed &c ten ear
samples of corn and the balance was
taken to the court house where the
speaking took place. A long table
in the middle Of the room contained
LOG loaves of bread an6 as many sam
pies of biscuits, and this table found
hundreds of ladies and gentlemen n who
came to examine the work of the
girls A third table was covered with
hundreds Of samples of needle work
from the finest hemstitching down to
the carefully darned stocking, dis
playing great industry and skill in
the various lines.
1t was interesting to watch the
men and boys when they came in.
They headed for the corn exhibit
while the women and girls made d.
rect for the bread table and from
that they turned to the needlework
table. There was not poor sample
Of bread or biscuits, if we may quote
several ladies who ought to know,
while the needlework showed begin
ners as well as needle artists.
Prof. Potter of Brookings college
judged the corn; Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs.
Gemmill and Mrs. Linn judged the
needlework; and Mrs. j. J. Chraft,
Mrs. Ole Satrum and Mrs. Even Han
son judged the products Of the stove
oven.
The speaking began at the court
house Thursday afternoon and the
opening speech was by Superintendent
Chamberlain Of the Farmers Insti-
tute work. Mr.. Chamberlain is a
good speaker and was followed by
Governor Vessey who entertained q
ano audience for over an hour. He

STATE SUPERINTENDENT UsTRUD:
II have been in close touch with
Superintendent Lawrence during the
summer and was satisfied he was
going to give us all q marker In

lines, but l must confess I am as
much surprised and pleased as Prof.

Among the many happy men pre-
'sent who enjoyed the contest, none
took greater delight in the splendid
corn exhibit than Joseph E. Millett
of Eden township and John W.
Brenner of Canton, and we regret
exceedingly that our old friend A. J.
Wimple of Brooklyn township was
not present to share in the corn
victory. Mr.. Millett was the first
man in this county, or in the state.
for that matter, that gave his time to
the improvement Of corn. He was
leader in corn culture before this
paper began it's work nine years ago.
Then Mr.. Wimple and Mr.. Brenner
became corn breeders and from that
time until the present Lincoln
county corn has improved both in
quality and yield to the acre, and
now we have hundreds of corn breed
ers and the boys are engaged in the
work and promise to be better corn
growers than their fathers, In fact
Mr.. Eldsmoe's son raised corn last
year that scored higher than any
corn raised 10 the county. The pride
and satisfaction enjoyed by Mr.. Millett
and Mr.. Brenner over the corn exhibit
by the boys, paid them an hundred
fold for the many months and years
they devoted to improvement of corn.
The corn contests aud farmers
institute work originated in Lincoln
county, then Lincoln county opened
another new line of education that
bought the boys to the front and with
the boys winning fame and prizes, the
girls we're drawn into the home culture
school, and now fathers and mothers
and sons and daughters are all
interested with the boys and girls
riding In the automobile class at the
head Of the procession. It's magni-
ficent, and there Is no one who enjoys
this progressive work more than the
editor of the LEADER and from the
hundreds of expressions of praise from
those who saw the exhibits it isSquite
evident that many were surprised and
delighted, wondering how 1t all got
to Caution because of the terrible,
condition Of the roads. and in places
almost impossible. The condition Of
the roads proved the spirit that
brought success.
The condition of the roads proved the

Mr.. and Mrs. August johnson of

in order to see what the boys and
girls had on exhibition, and Mr..
Johnson walked the last fve or six
miles through the mud rather than

Review of Situation

Council has fixed November 10 as the
date for the try-out primary election
Everyone who registered by October
as a city voter will be entitled to the
franchise at that election, and he will
rot be asked his party preference. The
ballot will contain the names of all
candidates who have, prior to October
g. turned in their names to the city
clerk. Thoese names will be printed
in alphabetical order under the various
offices for which they are nominated.
There viii be no designation to show
party, says the Pacific outlook.
The two having the highest number
of votes for each office will be the con-
testants in the final election December
s. In the case of councilmen the final
list will be a total of IS.
The try-out ballot viii contain four
bona f1de candidates for the office of
mayor and three, or possibly four,
whose names are put in for amusement
of for principle. Under the latter head
come the nominees for the Socialists
and Prohibitionists
The real contest will be between
Alexander, Smith, Mushet and Parish.
Two of these four names must be
eliminated.
without doubt Alexander will be one
of the two that will remain for the
final bout He has the united and en-
thusiastic support of the good govern
ment people, whose organization is in
excellent shape, covering every section
of the city. As a mayor, Alexander
has unquestionably made good, and
there is no reason that viii commend
itself to the average citizen, of non
partisan tendencies, why any change
should be made in this office. We may
safely therefore limit the discussion to
the issue of which one of the other
