Previous to the auction sale Prof.
NJ. L. Mosher spoke in very fiattering
terms regarding the corn, which had
been exhibited durin this course,
The corn as a whole was among the
best in the state and it seemed to be
hardly necessary to send away for
seed corn when there were such fine
specimens in the county, He urged
the farmers to go on with their good
work and come up next year with
a larger prize list than ever. Prof
Washer served as auctioneer and
the first corn sold was three lots OF
ten ears each, list, End and 3rd
prizes lat Des Moines) of Silver
Mine white corn, which brought s.
$1.75 and S1.00 respectively. The
tray of list prize corn being sold to
F. F. Everett. Then followed in
quick succession ten ears of LIST prize

s11.OO to d. X. Unsicker; ten ears
of End prize (Des Moines) yellow
dent corn, grown by Elmer Cameron
and sold at $500, and ten ears Of
Bird prize yellow dent corn, grown 10y
Albert Natter and sold at $3.50.
The feature of the sale was the
selling of fifty ears of first prize
Reds Yellow Dent corn, grown by
John F. Krizer, and which was final
ly sold to Roy Lyle for $41.50. Mr.
Guy Pomeroy stated that he had Sc
cured during the past fall at Des
Moines and other places about 1926
in prizes and sweepstakes, with thi:
same grade of corn, and that it was
certainly big money-producer; 81

various varieties. During the sale
John L. Kriser paid $3.50 for one
particularly valuable ear of corn OF
the Reid Yllow Dent variety, and
which had been very successful in the
prize winning qualities. The sale
was very successful, although, ex,
cept in few cases, low prices seem,
ed to prevail.
