BOYS CORN GROWING CONTESTS
The Leader Favors Free Scholar
ship For Boy Who Raises Best
10 Ears in Each County.

There has been wonderful improve
ment in corn and corn cultivation In
this state in the past ten years, ana
it is gratifying to know that the corn
experts are studying and experiment.
ing, hoping for still greater improve
ment in the years to come. In this
direction the LEADER hopes that
some arrangement a be made either
through county or state supervision
by which one boy in every county can
earn a free term scholarship in Brook
ings college by raising the best, ten
ears of corn under proper regulations.
This would encourage corn growing
among those who viii soon be the
no of the state. The expense
connected with the details Of such a
broad educational movement should
not be considered for a moment. En-
courage and educate the boys. The
trifing expense of a free term scholar
ship in Brookings would be as moth
ing with the educational feature and
the benefits that would come from
the work.
Surprising three or four hundred
bows in Lincoln county planted, cared
for and husked their corn on half an
acre of ground and then selected 10 OF
the best ears, and the boy who won
first place be given a scholarship prize
under county or state authority, how
long would it be before Lincoln coun-
ty got returns in wealth that could
not be measured?
Lincoln county is carrying on the
corn contest business now under the
direction of County Superintendent
Wimple and everything is working
successfully, but there is no author
lied state or county aid, only that
which the school districts give IN sup
port of this great work.
OF course this corn contest business
began among farmers as an expert
ment in Lincoln county through pri-
yate effort, then an organization was
formed and President Bremen OF the
association had a bill drawn aud 1t
became a law, authorizing farmers IN
stitute work and providing for ex'
pense. This worked so successfully
that institute work now cover the
state. Then County Superintendent
Lawrence organized corn contest WORK
among the rural school boys and DO
nestle science among the girls. sno

school districts and everything a
worked out nicely, although some
school districts have been unable to
realize the great benefit of the work
and refused financial aid, yet, a school
district that can't get $50 worth OF
benefit out of a $40 contribution to
educate the boys in corn growing and
the girls In domestic science don't
need a school house very bad.
A free scholarship for the best 10
ears of corn would set hundreds Of
boys in this county working for the
prize.
Every dollar spent judiciously to
educate our boys In scientific agricul-
ture would ONE back a hundred fold.
Scientific farming alone can meet the
conditions which confront the coun-
try today.
Let US all unite in, an effort to pro-
mote special education among the
boys along agricultural lines because
the future demands specialists in
farm work as much Is in any other
profession.
The LEADER respectfully asks State
Superintendent Lawrence to take up
the question of free scholarships, as
above referred to, and bring the mat
ter to a successful conclusion.
Mr.. Crippen has received a fine lot
of Christmas trees and holly for trim

The stores are all handsomely de-

Mrs. j. G. Little was among our re-
newal subscribers last Saturday. She
is enthusiastic over Harding county,
located in the northwest corner of the
state, where Mr.. Little owns a fine
half section of good land which is all
fenced and part under cultivation.
Christmas is. the one day of the
year when young and old look for a
visit from Santa Claus, and Santa
Claus is Just as much enjoyed by the
older members of the family as the
younger, because Of the blessed privi-
lege of making the youngsters happy
and bringing joy into the hearts of
the little folks. Christmas without
Santa Claus would be a cherries day
for the youth of the nation.
Last Saturday was a lively day in
Canton. Autos and carriages and wag-
ons filled the town and the sidewalks
and stores were full Of people. 1t was
the beginning of real holiday trade,
and the people are beginning to re-
cognize that they can do their holiday
shopping early and to better advant-
age than waiting to "the day before
Christmas" Next week will be a
busy one, and early shopping will be
of great advantage to buyer and seller.
