Cape County Boys Winners.

On the morning of December
9th the boys from this county
were on hand at our Agricultur-
al College and Experiment Sta
tion and were ready to begin an
inspection of what our College
and Experiment Station are do
ing for the upbuilding Of agri-
cultural interests in our State
and for the education OF our
farmer boys. for the production
of more and better crops, more
livestock to feed our crops to
and thereby build up the fertili-
ty of our soil. Then we will be
able to raise more corn, more
wheat, more stock: then. with
more with more money for these
crops, we will be able to give
our farm boys and girls a better
education for farm life, whichsis
so necessary in order that they
be successful on the farm
We are glad to state that our
boys from this County did not
take their trip to Columbia for
pleasure only, but they went up
there to lead their class. which
they did; and when the time
came for the final test in corn
Judging they walked in and cap
tured all the prizes that were
offered on corn-judging, and got
for themselves and our county a
name. On the next morning |
hurried to the College to find
how our boys stood in the class
in corn-judging. These are the
words we heard: Cape Girar-
deau county boys stand at the
top. winning all the prizes. "
Harry Hensley won a 500
buggy, and Joe Matthews won q
Keen Kutter tool cabinet valued
at $50. Cyrus Sides last year
captured one of the two prizes
offered. So our boys from this
county have taken three prizes
out Of four on corn-judging at
the State Corn Show, in less
than one years time. Hurrah
for Cape Girardeau county boysl
This should encourage all of our
boys to get into the contest
work. And, boys, begin to pre-
pare for next years work, and

, enter the contest this year. And
