CRENSHAW & YOUNG
The Missouri State Corn Show,

The date Of the annual Mis-
souri, State Corn Show held by
the Missouri Corn Growers As
ISOLATION has this year, as usual
been set for January Sth to the
18th, 1912, during Farmers Week
at the College of Agriculture at
Columbia. Everything is being
done to make this show educa-
tional to the highest degree, and
it promises to be the best show
of corn and small grains ever
held in Missouri. A large num-
Der of very valuable prizes, ag-
gregating in value nearly $1,000,
will be awarded, which should
bring out a good display.
There are four divisions of the
Show, three for corn and one for
wheat and oats. The corn
divisions include prizes for
linen, young men and boys as
usual, but the premiums are more
valable than ever before. The
State is divided into five Sec
tions in each of these divisions,
and a complete list of premiums
is offered on both white and yell
low corn in each section. Com
petition for these sectional
classes is restricted to residents
living in each section. In all
there are about four hundred
different prizes offered, which
will insure a large number of
persons winning premiums.
Among the premiums offered
IN the mems classes are four
manure spreaders, three corn
planters, two feed mills, two cul-
tivators, two plOws, five tool
cabinets, 240 rods of fencing,
two tanning mills and numerous
other valuable machines. Then
for the highest honOrs of the
show, THE GRAND CHAMPION
TEN EARS, a large handsome
Silver Trophy is offered by the
Missouri State Board of Agricul-
ture. The premium list is so
arranged that every ten ear sam
pie, regardless of class, color or
variety, will be considered in
competition for this coveted
prize.
In the Boys and Young Mems
Classes nearly $1,000 in cash
premiums are offered, which in
eludes three Fifty Dollar Cash
Scholarships to the Short Winter
Course in Agriculture at the Col
lege of Agriculture. These scho-
larships are to pay the win
ner's living expenses. Tuition
is free.
A good many people think
their corn is not good enough to
show this year. There is, how
ever, good corn in every section.
In fact that the State is divided
into sections gives every man an
equal chance, for he will have to
complete only with men VIII
have had the same condition
with which to contend as he him
self. If every one thinks their
corn is too poor, why the fellow
who does shcw is going to win
some valuable premiums very
easily.
The Show is held in connection
with the Farmers Week meet
ings at the College of Agriculture
and no Missouri farmer, who is
interested m growing better
crops, can afford to miss it. A
week spent at the Show and at
this combined school and con-

prove Public Highways.

Des Moines, Dec. 31.-Enthusiasm
or systematic building OF good roads
u the state of Iowa drew together all
factions into harmonious and bene-
ficial conference at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Three hundred representative Iowa
citizens. including twenty-five mem.
bers OF the next general assembly,
dropped politics and for two hours
listened to a series OF short address
es by keen thinking public spirited
citizens.
DEPRESSING slightly from the ques-
ton of good roads Judge Horace e.
Deemer took decided knock at the
public school of Iowa, branding 1t "as
mistake and archaic" The emf.
nent jurist declared that the average
boy who went from the farm to
school, after leaving high school, was
less fitted for his life on the farm
than when he entered school.
He also declared that Iowa would
have a drain on her population as
long as there are cheap lands. "We
must divide the farms and go in for
intensive farming" he said. 1--WE
must adopt more modern methods,
and must improve the social life on
the farms"
Harvey Ingham advocated making
the county into an improvement dis.
trict. He said that the voluntary
dragging OF roads would never be
satisfactory.
A number of the speakers agreed
in advocating tax on automobiles
and narrow tired vehicles to provide
county road fund.
Prof. w. G. Raymond, Iowa City
proposed state board of public
works to have charge of all road work
and inter county drainage work.
]. C. Marley and B. Stanton told
of the model thirty-two miles OF
dragged road in Poweshiek county.
U. G. Whitney, Sioux City, favored
rewriting the entire road laws of the
state to center the responsibility OF
the road work on the county.
Gov. Carroll made q short address
on good roads.
M. o. Eldredge of the national good
roads bureau of the United States de.
partment of agriculture gave a stere.
optican lecture on good roads.
The Iowa Good Roads association
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, that in the interest OF
simplicity, we favor a rewriting of
the road lays of the state into sin.
gle act.
Second.--We favor the compulsory
dragging of earth roads and the ere.
alton of non-divertable drag fund.
Third.-We favor simple system
Of road management under a central
ICED authority which shall work
through skilled end competent ap'
pointed officers.
Fourth.-We favor some form of
state aid to encourage good road
building.
Fifth--It is the sense of the con.
ference that an increased per cent of
our road fund be intrusted to the
management of the board OF super.
visors.
After the program was adopted.
Frank Morris, chairman of the Polk
county board of supervisors, offered
an amendment to permit good roads
funds being place in the hands of the
supervisors board TO be used for the
employment Of an engineer.

found realism never before attempted
in moving pictures. A shipwreck is
shown and the victims reach the

for months in the jungle. Wild beasts
actually prowl about their hut and one
man falls victim to huge lion. Final
ly lions are seen stalking the surviv-

A complete animal show was used to

surpasses anything of the kind ever
