experiment station has just been clos
ed. The $500 in prizes put up by the
better farming section is being dis
tributed to the winners.
Walter Granlund Of DeLamere Sc
cured a yield of 98.s bushels of ma
ture corn which entities him to first
in the southern section as we'll as In
the state. This brings him the first
prize Of SIS and the grand prize OF
500.
Henry Schmidt of Enlerado, with a
yield of 764 bushels. has the highest
yield in the northern section which
carries with it prize of SIS.
Noel Thorpe of Mayville in the
southeast district, has a. yield of 92.6
bushels which exactly duplicates his
last years production and gives him
second place which entities him to
a prize of $50.
The average yield of the 16 prize
winners in the southern section of the
state is 70.6 bushels, while the Is in
the northern section averaged 6c.3
bushels. The contest was entered by
688 boys. The average for the state
is $50 bushels. while that of the Uni

Walter Granlund's yield is nearly
four times that of the state average
while the average of the winners in
the southern section is more than

Contest Regulation.
l. This contest was opened to farm
boys from 10 to 1S years of age and
they had to grow this corn under
field conditions, furnishing their own
seed, though they were advised to Sc
cure that which was home grown.
The corn was Judged by members Of
the experiment station most Of whom
were county agents in the better
farming section. A considerable part
of the acre was husked and weighed
so as to form an accurate basis for
getting at the Yields and only the corn
which was mature enough for crib
bing was considered in the finals.
Sseventy-six pounds were required per

the contest is the superiority of home
grown seed. All the prize winners
in the southern. section used home
grown seed. while all but two in the
northern section did likewise, and
those two were low on the list. This
has been the case in every contest
which indicates that it takes North
Dakota corn seed to secure good
yields of corn.

SITUATION IN EAST CLEARED Up

Arrival of Wounded Bruges Indicates That Fighting r
Belgium Has Been More Severe Than Popularity Sup
posed-Desperate Encounters Believed Under Way.

For the first time since the Germans were check
ed in their advance Warsaw, it is possible to gain
fairly clear idea of the military situation in Russian
Poland, in its border aspect. Advces from both Ber
lin and Petrograd indicated the Germans have def
nitely succeeded in throwing back the envelopng Rus
forces maintaining stolidly their positions
of Lowcz Furthermore, it is said the Germans are
again undertaking energetic offensive. The
pleteess of the change in the situation, ascribed
rously to the failure of General Rennenkanp to close
up the ring about the Germans and the brilliant STRAIT
egy of the German leaders, is indicated by report
telegraphed from Petrograd by English CORE
spondent who previously had announced the Russians
had overwhelming victory. He now states
that the Germans are holding their POSITIONS and that
the situation remains extremely interesting and az-
ardous."
The latest official announcement from Petrograd
states the fighting has become less severe.
German military critic estimates the Russian
losses in killed, wounded, prisoners and death from
sickness amount to fully 100000 men, one-third
of the nations best troops.
In Galicia the situation still is confused Recent
reports from Petrograd that the Russians had invest
ed Cracow on three sides contradicted by an
unofficial dispatch which says the invaders are eight
miles from the city. ..s@s s@~st3~~- sf@E

BY THE BANDERS

New York, Dec. 3.-Panic only to
distrust Of banks has been relegated
to the museum Of antiquities by the
new reserve banking system, in the
opinion of G.. S. Hamlin, governor of
the federal reserve board, voiced this
afternoon In a speech before the New
York chamber of commerce.
'"The federal reserve system will
relegate to its proper place the muse-
UNI of antiquities. the panic generat-
ed by distrust in our banking system,
leading to struggle of self-preserva-
ton between bank and bank and in
dividual and individual, and ultimate
boarding by the people" Hamlin as
serted.
Such boarding usually follows
boarding by the banks and does not
precede it, If boarding by banks
should cease, boarding by individuals
would never occur, and both, I be-
lieve, will be relegated to obscurity
under the federal reserve system"
