The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1913-01-15

were received at this great live stool,
market and handled until they were
turned out the finished product. The
pictures were exceptionally good and
proved to be very entertaining to
those who have never witnessed any
thing of this nature. This talk was
followed by very interesting film
furnished by the International Har
vester company, showing the improve
ments in farm machinery from an ear
ly date up to the Goth century. This
film was procured through the eff
forts of Pautsch Brothers of this city
and credit for the same is due them.
Premium Winners.
The Review regrets that the list OF
premium winners has not been com
pleted so that it can be printed in
full this week. No doubt this will be
done by the officials some time this
week and the complete list will ap.
pear in the next issue.
The $500 in premiums offered by
the Crawford County-Ames Short
Course association was one of the
largest that has ever been offered by
any short course in the state. The
prizes were so valuable that they
brought out entries in every depart
ment and those who were fortunate
enough to secure them feel more
than repaid for their efforts.
According to the rules all premium
corn and grain became the property
of the association, and this was sold
at public auction Saturday afternoon
at the court room. Bidding was live
ly for the prize winning entries and
the total sales amounted to something
over $4,000. For the first time in the
history of Crawford county we saw
single ear of corn sell for $40 and
bushel of yellow corn for $1,000.
The single prize winning ear of white
corn, which sold for $40, was entered
by Houston Brothers, of Boyer town
ship, and won for them about $65 in
prizes. The Houston boys did not
care to see this prize-winning ear OF
corn sold to some other party so they
purchased it at the auction for $40 and
will use it for seed and intentd to
come back to the short course next
year prepared to meet all entries.
The big premium winners in corn
were: Houston Brothers, of Boyer
township; Emil Witt, of Paradise
township; Fleming Brothers, of Stock
holm township; James Byrnes, of Mil
ford township; Jacob Weiss, of Deni-
son; Frank Bixler, of Paradist town
ship; John Woodruff, of Goodrich
township; Henry sievertsen, of Iowa
township; Chas. Goswiller, OF Deni-
son township; E. L. Champion, OF
Hanover township; John Fink, OF
Goodrich township; Hugo Brodersen,
of Denison township; Ralph Hannah,
of West Side, and James Rollins, of
East Boyer township.
In the domestic science competition
was also keen for the fine list OF
prizes and the following were among
those who were awarded premiums:
Mrs, J. r. Byrnes, Mrs. c. M. Jensen,
Lizzie Smith, Mrs. E. w. Pierce, Mrs.
John Rowher, Ella Kahler, Mrs. A. c.
Weeks, Mrs. Staley, Mrs. O. Racine
and Mrs. E. l.. Champion. The sale
of the prize-winning domestic science
entries amounted to $21.SO.
The $500 loving cup has not been
awarded as yet as the officials are
waiting to hear from the Ames judges
as they have not decided yet who it is
to be awarded to.
The Management.
The officials of the short course are
to he congratulated on the successful
course which was held. There was
no small amount of work in arrang
ing all the details and considering
that it. was their first experience IN
a matter of this kind they are to be
commended. We would suggest that
when the next meeting is held that
the association should elect the same
officers for the next year as they have
become familiar with the work and
will be better able to handle it than
new set of officers who have not
had experience.
Experimental Station.
Through the efforts of the Crawford
County-Ames short course faculty the
board of supervisors of Crawford
county have set aside $500 and will
secure land at the county farm of fiji
teen or more acres to be used as ar
experimental station under the su
pervision of the extension department
at Ames. Securing this station al
Denison will be additional help to the
farmers of Crawford county, ovel
which they are much pleased, Credit
is surely due the Ames school for the
