SUSSEX CORN WINS PRIZES.

House IN Georgetown thursday an
Friday of last week. In all there wer
III entries, and the best corn raised il
the state during the past season was ol
exhibition and was viewed by hundred
Of people from Sussex County and diff
ferent parts of the state. Georgetown
residents took special interest in th'
exhibit, and it is believed that an effor
will be made to get the Corn Growers
Association to decide on giving the show
in Sussex County next year in order tC
stimulate still more interest. This is
the first time the exhibit has b zen held
in Sussex County and the general belief
is that it is the forerunner of others
which will be more enthusiastic. While
the exhibits from Sussex were not very
numerous, yet the displays showed
that Sussex County, by a closer appli-
cation of the scientific methods in corn
growing, can compete with New Castle
and Kent. The exhibition has already
aroused interest among many Sussex
farmers and the entries next year
should it be held in this county, will be
much larger than this. because of the
fact that the farmers have learned
what is required for premium winning.
Professor N. Schmitz of the Maryland
Agricultural College, acted as judge of
the exhibits.
Those in charge of the affair stated
that the displays we're as numerous as
any held in the State during recent
years, and seemed to be highly pleased
in every respect. Thursday afternoon
the Corn Growers Institute was held in
connection with the Corn Show, being
opened at /. 30 o'clock by an address of |
welcome by Andrew Marvel, Esq, Of
Georgetown, an enthusiastic agricul- /
turalist. The response was made by J. |
W. Killen, of FELTON,, president of the
Delaware Corn Growers Association,
which was followed by an address on
How to secure large yields of corn
through better speed, by Prof. N.
Schmitz of the Maryland Experiment
Station. This was followed by round
table discussion on corn growing, which
closed the afternoon session.
