WASN'T JUDGED HERE
Editor Shepard Wants to Know About
Some Corn Judging - Emmons
Corn Won in Omaha.

Editor Shepard of The Braddock
News sends The Forum an article
about some prize winning corn i'm
which he claims that corn sent from
Emmons county was not awarded a
prize in North Dakota, but the same
ears did win in the national show at
Omaha.
There was no corn show in Fargo
last fall. The North Dakota Corn show
was held in January of this year-sub-
sequent to the Omaha show. Therefore
1t could not have been judged here be-
fore being sent to the Omaha exhibit
ton.
Last fall the departments of agricul-
ture at Bismarck issued call for
samples of corn to be prepared for the
national show. 1t may be possible Mr..
Jepson's corn was sent to that de-
partment and Editor Shepard confused
1t with the North Dakota Corn show
held in Fargo.
follows:
Last week M. Jepson, one of the we'll
known and progressive farmers of the
Braddock district, received a premium

managers of the National Corn Elk

corn field. The two pieces of paper
bore silent but truely eloquent evil
dence that Mr.. Jepson, a Braddock, N.
D., farmer, had won sixth prize at
the worlds greatest corn contest for
1909. The writer is no "cornologist"
nor even yersed in corn contests, but
presumes that the sixth prize in this
case represents the sixth best Of a
certain class or variety of corn. Mr..
Jepson sent ten ears of corn to the
truly meritorious and much advertised
North Dakota corn contest exhibition
last fall. In due time the winners at
that memorable meet were named and

ed-throughout the northern part OF

other sections. The Braddock farmer
heard first from his corn when he
learned that it, with other North Da-
kota exhibits, had been sent to the ma
tional exhibition where It drew a prize.
Now, who are biased Or guided in
their judgment of corn by political
pull--the Judges of the North Da-
kota corn contest or the judges of the
National corn exhibition? marked
