Interest in Corn Contests
Growing
To Lincoln County Belon gs the
Credit For the State Wide
Interest in This Great
Work.

The county commissioners of Sphinx
county have offered $4,000 to be a
warded as prizes among the rural
school boys who raise corn for a
county contest. This is a proper
action for the commissioners to take,
and those Sphinx county officials could
not use 800 of the peoples money to
better advantage.
Nearly every county in the state is
interested in corn growing contests
among the boys in rural schools and
domestic science contests among the
girls is meeting with great success.
The LEADER seldom claims credit
for any good work done, but it is
especially proud of it's work IN get
ting a number of progressive farmers
interested in pure seed corn and corn
contests some nine years ago. Many
of the best farmers in the county
contended that they knew all about
corn and there was nothing more to
learn. 1t was uphill work to get the
farmers interested, but the pioneer
students in how to improve corn soon
became deeply interested in the corn
contest and the work aroused general
interest and spread rapidly, other
counties following the example set by
Old Lincoln.
The LEADER offered a S75 buggy
seven years ago for the best bushel OF
corr raised in the county, the LEADER
to keep the corn, but some of the
bows were afraid the LEADER was
going to make a million or two out of
the transaction and didn't want a
corn a%ristocracy growing up in Can
ton. T%hirty-nine samples were re-
ceived, making in all about 30 bushels.
The buggy dealer allowed the LEADER
80 dollars for the corn and the Editor
paid S45 for the experiment. Geo.
Millet of Eden won the buggy and
the LEADER was mighty we'll pleased
with the investment if the anticipat-
ed millions proved a beautiful dream.
Then county Superintendent Law
renee got the rural school girls in
terested in domestic science, and the
good work progressed rapidly.
The state institute work started
through the suggestion and efforts of
Lincoln county pioneer corn growers
represented by Joseph Millett, A. j.
Wimple and John Bremen, and to
these gentleman is due a large share
| of the honor and glory for the aroused
interest in pure seed and improved
corn conditions in this state. There
is glory enough for all, but to Lincoln
county belongs the credit for start
ing corn contests and the organiza-
tion of rural school girls into domestic
science clubs, and the LEADER rejoices
in the success of this great work in
which it took an active part in or
ganizing.
