week were pronounced very good
although only part of the schools
sent exhibits.
We wish to express our apprecia
tion RI the efforts put forth by
the following teachers and schools IN
contributing articles worthy of spec
! ial mention
Misses Anna Frenchick and Edtia
West. OF Sheldon Nettie M. Sheldon
and Lydia Oelschlaeger, of Apollonia,
Koba Van Solen, of Big Bend Mil
dred Calkins, of Rusk, the village
schools of Bruce, the Manual Train
ing and Domestic Science department
of the Ladysmith schools and the
Rusk County Training school
1t was expected that the graded
schools of Hawkins, Ingram, Glen
Flora and Tony, following their Gus
tom of several years back, would,
| through their teachers, be represent
ed with interesting exhibits as in
centives to pupils and patrons.
The grain contest by pupils was
very successful and was participated
| in by large number of children.
The corn is an excellent yellow dent
that will yield at least seventy five
bushels per acre; the white pedigree
oats are as good as any grown in
Rusk county
Our thanks are extended to those
teachers who assisted their pupils
in undertaking this contest, and in
securing such good results. The Col
den Glow corn appears to be adapted
to soil conditions in the central part
of Rusk county, but not to the heavy
clay soils
Through the public spiritedness of
Secy. John Bronsky and the other
officers of the fair, thirty-seven
awards were made, ten for corn in
the ear ten on the stalk, ten on
sheaf oats, five on threshed oats,
and two on potatoes.
