the Summer School at Delaware Col
lege should appeal to various classes of

PRIZES FOR CORN.

At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Delaware Corn Grow
ers' Association plans for the seventh
annual State Corn Show were consid-
cred. The time and place of holding the
corn show will be announced later. This
year the association is in a position to
offer exceptional inducements in the way
of prizes for the best exhibits of grain.
The appropriation of $500 annually to
the Delaware Corn Growers Association
made by the recent Legislature will
greatly advance the work. 1t is the
plan of the association to widen the
scope of the State Corn Show and en-
courage the exhibition of small grains
and grass seeds as well as of corn.
Aside from the Delaware prizes, pre-
miums amounting to $3.50 are offered by
the Corn Exchange Bank of Philadel-
phia for the best 10-ear samples of corn
grown in Delaware. In all about $3.50
will be spent this year to stimulate the
production of more and better grain"
for Delaware.
Premiums will be offered for the fol-
lowing crops: For the best 10-ear and
50-ear samples of corn of the different
eolors for the best peck samples of
wheat, oats, rye, soy beans, COW peas,
field beans, buckwheat, timothy, red
clover seed for the best sheaf samples
of wheat, oats and forage.
The association will offer substantial
prizes for the largest yields of corn per
acre on an average of not less than five
acres, produced at the minimum cost
per acre. Thus the cost as well as the
yield per acre will determine the winner.
All growers who decide to enter this
contest should apply to Secretary A. E.
Grantham, of Newark. Del, for regis
tration blanks. Competitors must be
registered before June 1st. The yield
contest will not be conducted unless five
or more men apply.

aware College has arranged to distribute
soy beans to 100 farmers of the State.
Four pounds of one of the best varieties
of soy beans yet tested at the Expert
mental Farm will be sent free of charge
to farmers who have not yet tried this
valuable crop. Directions for growing
will accompany the seed. The only re-
quirement the station makes of the Co
operator is that he report the yield at
the end of the season. Soy beans should
be planted about the 1st of June.
The department will also supply a
limited number of farmers with alfalfa
seed for sowing a trial plat under the
direction of the station. Seed sufficient
for a tract not exceeding two acres will
be furnished. Alfalfa should be sown
about the middle of August. Full par
ticulars as to the method of carrying
out the work will be sent upon applica-
tion. Those desiring to cooperate in
growing the above crops should write
