they choose their entries. Try TO
have the ears 70 look as much alike
as possible as well as the character
tf the kernels. I think the Show was
a decided success"
The Mcmillan High School Agricul.
turaI Glass. that judged Ferris &
cauthorn's Corn Show. had the dis.
tinction Of having 80 Of It's 80 mem-
bers choose the entry Prof. Miller
gave first prize. Twenty OF tho
Class were successful in choosing the
same second as the expert. Prof.
Street is to be congratulated upon
what his students are accomplishing.
Theodore Selb of this county, who
was a winner in the Ferris & Cauth-
orn Corn Show last year and who is
the originator OF Selbs Best, an Au-
draiI white corn, says this is the
best show ever given in Mexico, al
though the entries are by no mean
as lare as heretofore. He attributes
the Improvement in entries TO the
Ledger's list OF instructions for ehoo
ing show corr according to the e
perts' opinions which were later is
sued In pamphlet form by the firm
OF Ferris & Cauthorn.
The first year of the show Prot.
Damaree. who was sent here to judg
it, from the state Agricultural Col.
lege. spoke of the Improvement In
entries possible II this list, which th
school issues, were followed. His sug-
gestion was taken up by the Ledger
and from that time on we have urge
a careful choosing OF the show corn
along scientific Hines.
Theo. selb said Thursday that the
yellow corn was better than white
corn this season The reason OF
thds lies in the fact that white corn
requires a longer period to mature
and therefore is planted early. And
il was the early corn that suffered
the most. The yellow corn requires
practically ninety days to mature an
it was left to the last to plant. The
latter part OF the season being more
favorable to the growing corn re-
suited in the yellow making a bet
ter crop,
There were ON exhibition at the
store two large pumpkins. They
weighed 60 and 60 pounds respective
ly. They were grown on the farm Of
L. Malstrom Of near Thompson. Con
rad Shuttle also had OF exhibition
some very large beets.
