The corn contest was decid-
ed success in every way and it
is felt that under the circum-
stances that the exhibit was
very creditable one indeed.
Owing to the fact that the sea-
son was not the best and that
the seed was a little late in
getting out the exhibit was not
as large as it otherwise would
have been. Not withstanding
this, however, fifty children
entered the contest and quite a
number of these we're present
at the judging held at the
School of Forestry last Friday.
It was thought that it would
be possible to send three of the
winners in the contest to the
Boys and Girls Institute at
Fargo, but owing to the fact
that the railroads will not furn-
ish transportation this year as
they did last, it will be impossi-
BILE to do so. We are, however,
able to give very liberal prizes
which we feel should be an en-
couragement to those who en-.
tered the contest. Last year
there were only seven who en-
tered the contest. This year
there were fifty which seems to
US very encouraging and we
look forward to a very large
and interesting contest next
year.
On behalf of the contestants
and this Office we wish to thank
the faculty of the School of
Forestry for the use of the
building and the assistance
given us to make the contest
both pleasant and profitable.
Those present were shown
through the building and made
acquainted with the different
departments of this school, a
privilege which they greatly
enjoyed. After this they as
sembled in the room where the
corn was on exhibition and lis.
tened to very instructive ad.
dress on the cultivation and
care of corn by Prof. F. E. Old
er. At noon all we're served
with a dainty lunch in the
domestic science room. Dur
ing the afternoon they visited
the court house and looked
over the school work on exhibi
ton in the Office of the county
superintendent and registered
