IA PYRAMID OF CORN
Great Educational Feature Planned at
the Corn and Alfalfa Exposition
at Benson.

AS a special educational feature at
the Corn and Alfalfa Exposition at
Benson, Nov. 26-27-28, all the blue rib
bon samples Of corn and alfalfa are
to be assembled and displayed on a
huge pedestal or pyramid erected in
the gigantic tent which is to house the
exhibits. The pedestal will be twenty
feet square at the base and about nine
feet high.
Each of the four sides of the pyra-
mid will be reserved for the first prize
exhibits of four counties, each county
being given equal space. On the slop-
ing panel allotted to each county will
be eight shelves one foot apart. On
the top shelf the four best single ears
yellow dent, white dent, white cap
yellow dent, and red dent-in the four
lots will be placed. On the second
and third shelves the best four ten-ear
samples of corn from the four lots in
that class will be placed On the next
four shelves will be put the blue rib
bon thirty-ear samples from the four
lots in that class. On the last shelf
will be shown the best thirty-ear sam
pie in the boys class. Below the last
shelf will be the four first prize 100
ear samples in bushel baskets.
Exhibitor viii Profit.
This plan of exhibiting to the public
all of the blue ribbon exhibits from
each county will be of great value to
the exhibitor Attached to each ex-
hibit will be the name and address of
the owner. This will enable the sue
cessful exhibitors from each county to
obtain some efficient publicity, and aid
them in securing a market for seed
corn at home. Many good corn breed
ers hesitate about exhibiting at the
large corn shows, because no efficient
method of informing the public about
the awards has been devised. The
worth of this new plan is evident.
The new plan of exhibiting the best
ears of corn at the show will assist
in impressing upon the mind of the
public the correct types of the lead
ing varieties. After a careful exam.
nation of the blue ribbon samples
there will be no difficulty encountered
by any corn grower in picking out a
good ear of corn. Not only that, but
such an exhibit will illustrate in an
effective way the wonderful hold
which the corn industry is getting
upon West Central Minnesota.

PRECEDENT BROKEN.
Sweepstakes Prizes at Benson EXPOSE,
ton to Be Returned.

Officials in charge of the Corn and
Alfalfa Exposition at Benson, Nov. 26.
1928, have decided to break a prece
dent recognized by corn shows since
time immemorial and return to the
winners of the handsome $500 sweep
stakes the valuable exhibits that have
turned the trick. Last year the West
Central Development Association kept
the sweepstakes exhibits for further
exhibition purposes.
1t is believed that corn valuable
enough to win first prize in a sweep
stakes class is too valuable to the
corn breeder to lose. Rarely are
sweepstakes samples of corn planted,
although it is recognized that they
would be extremely valuable to the
owner. In fact, some of the largest
corn breeders have fought this rule
for several years, as they do not like
to lose championship exhibit.
1t is said that the new rule will re
suit in the display of more and better
corn than was previously expected
even though the original estimate was
placed at not less than $4,000 ears in
the regular classes.

GERMANY RELIES

Essen Supplies Terrible En-
giaGS Of Var.

IN these trying days, when the
great nations of Europe are ar
rayed against Germany, the leu
ton places his faith in the kaiser,
the army, the navy and krupp-in
the Krupp works because Krupp rifles
cannon and siege guns are the greatest
in the world admittedly, while Krupp
armor plate protects Germany's battle
ships. The house of Krupp is a ma
tional institution in the fatherland and
its name is almost as revered as that
of the Hohenzollern itself. Krupp guns
and armor form a ring of steel about
the fatherand.
The ironmasters of Essen have ruled
a hundred years. The founder of the
line, Friedrich. who was born at Essen,
endeavored to make cast steel. the Sc
cret of which was carefully guarded in
England And in 1910 he founded a
small forging plant near Essen for the
production of cast steel after process
he had evolved Mint dies, stamps for
buttons, etc. were manufactured, but
so small was the demand the works
could not be kept in operation And
soon after 1920 Krupp was obliged to
give up his house to occupy a small
one story laborer's cottage near his
plant. The hut is still preserved in the
midst of the present gigantic establish
ment
Shortly before his death. however

So much corn is it that not even

Officials.

The generous prizes offered by the
West Central Minnesota Development
Association for superior corn and al
falfa exhibits at the second annual
Corn and Alfalfa Exposition, Nov. 26-
27-28, are stimulating the sixteen
counties in the league to unprece-
denied activity. There is every. assur-
ance that the amount Of choice seed
corn will exceed that at any show
ever held in the northern section of
the corn belt.
The fact that the exhibits are to be
arranged by counties has stirred up a
world Of interest. None of the six
teen counties is willing to admit that
it has rival that can Guido it at a
corn show. Several of the counties
will have exhibits containing many
thousand ears of good corn, and the
alfalfa exhibits are certain to be large.
