The School Children
Grow Splendid Corn
Big Corn Contest Should be Held in
Z Every County in This State
Next Year

"S~I SVssAssI ~ SAAAs SssssS
Next Year
The rural school children's corn
growing contest for 1911 came to
a close last Friday when Prof. G.
w. .Randlett of the Agricultural
college awarded the prices to the
three children which in his judg.
ment had the best specimens. The
winners were: Alvin johnson,
Manfred. first; Edna johnson,
Manfred, second: Edmond Weiss,
st. Anna, third. The first prize is
q free trip to the boys and girls
institute at the Agricultural COL
lege at Fargo which takes place
some time in December, and the
second and third prices will be
articles which the winners will
possess with pride. The boys apd
girls institute has become an an
nual affair whereby the winners of
the contest are given an oppor-
tunity to further ac4uaint them.
selves with the good. work of the
college besides furnishing them
with weeks vacation that will
make favorable impression upon
their minds.
After Judging Prof. Randlett
gave an interesting and instructive
lecture upon corn culture, sprin-
kled with good advice to the child
ren.
Although the entries of corn
this year were not as numerous as
they have been in times past, a
great many children and their
parents attended. showing an in
: creasing interest in the work. Prof.
Randlett stated that there were
$4,000 pupils who entered these
contests last spring in the state.
About 200 in Wells county en-
tered last spring.
In this connection it may be in
teresting to know that the best
corn from the various counties
will be exhibited in special
g>school pupils class at the big corn
show to be held in Fargo January
16-l9.
Any boy or girl who has corn
for sale should by all means send
an exhibit to this show and in
dicate how much he has for sale.
One boy has already reported
100 bushels for sale.
The lively interest taken in the
present day pupils of our rural
schools in things agricultural may
be the means of preparing the
next generation for the better
farming era so loudly proclaimed
by everyone. for as one of our
citizens stated this week, the
trouble with North Dakota is that
she has too many five dollar men
tilling her soil to expect hundred
dollars an acre land; give us, says
he, one hundred dollar men to
conduct our farms and it will be
but short time before the hun.
dred dollar men will make one
hundred dollar an acre land. And
as it is hard to teach old dogs new
tricks, better begin training the
Yeung ones.
The men, and women, who will
make our land worth one hundred
= dollars an acre are not going to be
imported from the east, but they
will be the ones who as children
and youths have seen the failures
Of their elders 81 and q who will profit
by mistakes and will bring about
4 the,new era so much desired by
all Fessenden Free Press. !,

Dry the Fruit.

a large crop Of peaches and apples
IN Missouri, with consequent low
prices, suggests extensive drying of
fruit. Some time ago, wholesale
grocers called attention to the short
age OF dried fruit. The market Is
practically cleared of ii. There Is
not the usual carry-over from last
year to depress next season e prices.
There seems to he certainty OF
good prices for a much larger than
usual supply this fall.
Conditions appear to be ideal for
small fruit growers to turn their
fruit into money by drying it. 1t is
always the small growers, especially
when not convenient to market for
personal handling of their fruit, who
fail to realize on their crop when
the yield is large and the price is
low.
Drying is the best method for
them to pursue This is not a diff
cult or expensive process on IA scale
large enough To handle the product
OF n small orchard. I'm Il year when
some other of the farm crops have
failed, it would be too bad not to
get full value ont of a large fruit
