CHILDREN's COUNTY
CORN CONTEST

More care means better corn; more
corn and better cultivation means
more corn of better qualities; more
corn brings more cash. Care, culti-
vation, corn, and cash-the big four
of successful corn culture.
Every child in our state should be in
terested in improving the quality of
this important Ohio product. That in
formation on the essential points in
corn Improvement may be secured for
practical use, a children's county corn
contest is being arranged for by the
County Corn Improvement associa-
tions.
Every one under 1S years old may
enter the childrens contest. Grain
dealers, teachers and farmers should
all be interested in starting the young
people of the present generation to
begin the study of a subject that has
been given intensive study during the
last few years only If the average
corn crop Of Ohio is to be increased,
the young people of the present should
be assisted to begin solving the prob
lem.
The educational value of what is ex-
perienCed from the time the seed is
selected until the ten ears for exhibit
tion are selected, is worth the measur-
ing up to the other fellows product at
the county corn show.
At the state corn show next fall,
those who eXcelled in having corn of
highest qualities at the county corn
show, will have chance to compete
for beautiful silver cup. On it the
state winners name will be engraved 1;
the same cup will be competed for an.
nually.
The Ohio Corn Improvement associ
alton has awarded the College of Agri
culture trophy, a beautiful silver cup
to the New Holland High school, for
the best corn exhibited at the state
corn show held at Columbus, last No
vember. Any high school in which
! agriculture is taught, may compete
for this trophy. Three exhibitors
for a high school makes it a contest
ant.
