there is quite little corn grown
around this section that will go the
40 and so bushel mark. Inasmuch as
the eastern states have offered large
prizes for the best acre of corn, Mr..
Maxey thought if the club or its mem
bers would offer prize of $lOO in
cash for the best acre Of corn that it
would result in much good. He
thought that 100 bright, new dollar
bills displayed in some prominent
window would attract attention and
result in many entries for the prize.
Mr.. Dorman spoke of the efforts of
two boys to whom he had given the
right to plant pop corn in an orchard
if they would cultivate trees also. The
| boys garnered crop for which they
extracted $4,000 from Will Cowden.
This was from about IA acres. Mr..
Cleaver vouchsafed the information
that the boy who had won the national
corn prize grew 228 bushels OF corn
on one acre of ground, and that in
South Carolina.
That By-Products Plant.
President Dorman assured the men,
bers that the matter of by-products
plant was receiving attention and
probably the next meeting he would
be ready to submit full report, Civ
ing detailed information regarding
cost of erection and maintenance, as
we'll as probable earnings. He said
, that few days previously Mr.. Hurst
whose splendid orchard ad)oins the
Manville Fruit Company's by-pro,
ducts plant, had informed him that ne
was in the market for SO car loads o.
Gull apples. Mr.. Hurst, who IS inter
'ested in the Manville Fruit Co.., de
clared that if he could secure culls a
$1,000 per ton for 10 years, he woui'
i. retire with large scads OF Doodle
never to labor again.
Mr.. Dorman spoke of the amend
ments to our horticulture laws tina
: are being urged. Chief among thes
!, was a law forbidding the sale of Gull
and imperfect fruit to any but regul
arly licensed by-products plant.
Prospects for "Some Fair"
T. M. Nichol, assistant secretary Q
the Canyon County Fair, told OF tn
: exceptionally bright prospects for
