Girl Wins First nonors

a fourteen-year-o girl, Miss Flor
ence Turner, won first honors in the
acre yield corn growing contest. held
under the auspices Of the Oshawa
Farmers club Her prize acre pro-
duced 81 bushels Of corn, and she
won over her nearest boy competitor
by four-tenths Of a bushel. IS
The yield was q remarkable one.
This year. according to- statistics ga
thered by the federal department Of
agriculture, Nicollet county was the
banner corn county in the United
States, the average yield being 65
bushels to the acre. That secured
by Miss Turner was exactly 40 per
cent above the average, which is no
mean achievement. The winner Of
the contest is a daughter Of Mrs. j.
P. Turner, and is not quite fourteen
years of age.
Announcement of the result Of the
contest was made at Joint banquet
Of the Oshawa Farmers club and
the Oshawa Woman's club, which was
given at the home Of w. H. Turner
last Saturday evening. Florence
Turner was awarded first prize in
the Oshawa boys and girls corn
growing contest with yield of 81
bushels per acre, and was given q
| oh 0,,N -
try.
Walter Levine received second
prize, $40 in cash and free tuition at
Gustavus Adolphus college to the
amount of SIG, making a total prize
valued at $36, for a yield Of 5000
bushels per acre, and Oscar Johnson,
with yield of 1874 bushels per acre,
received $40 in cash as third prize.
A number of prizes donated by mer-
chants and business men were later
awarded to the other contestants.
A great deal Of interest was shown
in the contest, and Oshawa feels
proud, not only Of the high yields
obtained by the contestants, but of
the fact that it is the first township
in the state to conduct contest of
this kind. Credit is due Stewart
Leaning, agricultural director at the
St. Peter high school, for the work
he did in connection with the COM
petition, and also to the business men
of St. Peter for the generous way in
which they responded by donating
prizes.-St. Peter Herald.

Farmers Organize

\ Z Z ~
A large and enthusiastic meeting
Of farmers was held at the hall Mon
day afternoon to consider the orpa-
nization Of live stock shipping
association. An organization was
also perfected which will be known
as the Lafayette Farmers Cooper
alive Shipping Association and will
begin business at once. Next Thurs
day, January 9th, 1914, is the. date
on which they will first take in stock.
Mr.. s. s. Beach of Hutchinson,
who is employed by the Extension
Division Of the Agricultural school,
was sent here and spoke Of the very
flattering success the Hutchinson
Shipping Association had enjoyed
during their two years. 179 carloads
OF stock were shipped from that place
and nearly all the farmers in that
vicinity are members. E. j. Klawit-
ter, the manager of the Hutchinson
Association, was also present at
Mondays meeting and spoke briefly.
! Among other Hutchinson enthusiasts
who were present at the meeting
were: J. M. Beall. D. D. Chapen, C.
Z. Todd, and w. S. Beach; also A.
5. Holmes, vice president Of the
Brownton Shin-ing Association. Mr..
Beach made the remark that he
found the cooperative spirit STRONGER
here at Lafayette than he had ever
found and predicted unbounded sue
cess for the new association.
! Henning Johnson was chosen tenn
porary chairman and Aug. C. Olson
secretary Of the meeting. After a
vote was taken to organize the fol-
lowing seven directors were elected:
Henning Johnson, CHI. Nelson, Frank
Gunberg, Andrew jacobson, Joseph
Traurig, E. D.. Grussendorf and Os-
car Olson. Articles Of incorporation
and bylaws were then adopted. The
board Of directors organized by elect
ing Henning johnson president and
Andrew Jacobson secretary and treas
urer. L. w. Samuelson will act as
buyer for the association for the
time being.
A large number of the farmers
present signed up as members of the
association and it was announced
that anyone who delivers stock to
the association thereby becomes a
member. Those who sell stock to
the Shipping Association get just
what the stock brings in the market
less expense for Shipping and a small
per cent laid aside as sinking fund
to be used in case of unavoidable
loss.-Lafayette Ledger.

as a major league outfit.
The result has been that the Yam
KEGS instead of clearing hundreds OF
thousands of dollars a year-as would
be the case with even a half way de-
cent ball club-have annually lost from
$751; 600 to $4,000. And the visiting
teams, instead of picking up some soft
money here, usually get just about
enough TO pay hotel bills.
It was suggested some years ago
that some of the clubs in the American
league that were well fortified with
extra players Of major league caliber
turn them over to the Yankees. It was
known that Ban Johnson. as head Of
the league, could force such move,
one that would strengthen the Yankees
and in no way materially weaken the
other clubs. But such a move was not
made.
It was pointed out then that such a
move would have made the business
