iums.
The work of judging the corn Is in
the hands Of Prof. J. c. Hoke Of Fargo
who is highly pleased with the quality
CT the corn shown as well as vita the
number Ut separate contestants. In
speaking Of the awards he stated that
there vera 80 many good samples that
/: was very dif.icnlt to arrive ut de-
cision and that those who were less
fortunate need not feel at all discour-
aged but on the other hand have cause
to be proud Of the showing made. The
greatest difficulty in raising corn in
this climate is 10 secure corn that
will mature. Several Of the best look
ing samples were good to look at but
were soft and therefore not so desir.
able. The corn exhibits this year are
the best ever shown and those in
chage are greatly pleased with this
part Of the show.
