under the auspices Of Virginia State
Farmers Institute and the Virginia
Corn Growers Association, prom
ises to be Of special interest and that is
the Farmers Sons Corn Judging Con-
test. This contest was made possible
through the generosity of number Of
the colleges of the State in giving valu-
able scholarships for prizes. The con-
test will consist in judging number Of
samples Of corn and placing them in
order Of merit, also in scoring one or
more Of the samples, using the score
card adopted by the Department of
Agronomy Of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. Placing the corn correctly
will count 60 points and the scoring 40
points in determining the winners Of
the contest. Any boy in the State under
twehty-one years of age and who has
never been enrolled at the V. p. /. is
eligible to compete.
The prizes arranged, in order Of re-
ceipt of offer, are as follows: A tuition
scholarship in the Shenandoah Col
legiate Institute and School of Music at
Dayton, Virginia. This is transferable
and may be used by either boy or girl.
Value $40.
A tuition scholarship in the Washing
ton and Lee University at Lexington,

ment $40 year, in the Engineering

The Virginia Christian College at

give a scholarship for this contest, but
nothing definite has been agreed upon.
The boy winning first place will have
first choice of the above scholarships,
the one winning second place will have
second choice and so on until all are
taken. There is little likelihood of any
of the boys eligible to the contest hav-
ing had special instruction in corn judg-
ing. SO all will be on equal footing.
Anyone wishing to compete or desiring
further information in regard to it, or
the Corn Show, should write to the
Secretary of the Virginia Corn Growers
Association, Lyman Carrier, Blackes-
burg, Va. He will send sample score

Three tramps applied to Officer W.
n. Tansill Tuesday night for lodging in
the lock up. Officer Tansill gave the
tramps wood enough to last them
through the night and took the names
of the three, with the view of seeing II
they were deserters. He, however,
failed to lock them up. He went TO
the Mayors Office and in searching the
list of deserters came across the names
and descriptions of the three men. he
found out they were deserters from the
u. S. Army and they were worth sol
each. Mr.. Tansill rushed back to the
lock up. but found his birds had flown.
They had "smelt a rat" Officer Tan
sill has been kicking himself ever since
for not locking the men up.
