interest has conferred about them from
the tact that they are eye demonstra-
tons Of the possibilities of North Da-
kota along diversified farming zines.
Again and again people ask the ques-
ton Did this really all grow in North
Dakota?" which simply means that
people are very agreeably surprised
with the splendid product the state
Is able to put forth. With corn must
necessarily come a greater, amount of
livestock, dairying, crop rotation, and
all those things that make for diversi-
fled farming and a more profitable and
permanent system OF agriculture.
Every farmer in the state VINO has
should make an exhibit at the show,
not for the mere purpose of winning
a $40 or $25 premium, but as a matter
OF loyalty to his state and the i'm
mediate community in which he lives.
Thousands Of people, now living n
Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, and other parts
of the corn belt proper, think the
stories old Of corn growing in North
Dakota are mere jokes. Every eye
demonstration that is made at the corn
show of the excellence of the corn crop
in this state goes far toward disprov-
ing this fallacy.
The various fairs. corn festivals,
harvest home occasions, and all
gatherings of this kind held during
the fall months nave brought out large
exhibits of excellent corn. Every
farmer who has exhibited at one Of
these local contests should send in an
exhibit to the state corr show. Many
have saved seed corn for next years
springs planting. From this seed corn
supply, h very best ten ears should
be selected for this purpose. The ears
selected should be wrapped separately
in paper or cloth, boxed in a con-
V~enient sized box with excelsior or old
papers to prevent their rubbing to-
gether and consequent Smelling, direct
ed to G. w. Randlett, Fargo. and ship
ped by prepaid express. No exhibitor
will forfeit his corn at this time. He
may call for it at the close Of the
show, or have it shipped back by pay
ing the express charges.
