To The Forum: Many people are,
Of course. wondering hen they Will
hear from the prizes awarded IN the
Improved Seed show.
The farmers of the state responded
with such d large umb OF samples
and they came to III In so few days
Immediately preceding the show that
while W. succeeded in getting the pur-
ity and termination tests done by
Thursday, Jan. %, the mass of figures
to be brought together and compared
with the results given by the COM
mercial judges was so great that It
was quite impossible for us to award
those prizes with any certainty that
some Of the results would not be in
error. Two persons are now going over
the records of the judges n Within
a few days there will be published
lists of the exhibitors and the scores
their samples made, together with the
prize winners. These lists will go out
in the order of classes as. published
in the premium list.
We have had a splendid show, very
much bigger than anyone anticipated
and I am sure that those who were
here and saw the difficulties under
which Il force was laboring and es-
pecially the difficulties under which
the commercial Judges worked, will be
patient until we are able to announce
the prizes so hat there can be no
possibility of error. Those interested
should watch the columns of the Far
go city papers for the lists of winners
as published from day to day. Later
these lists will be brought together in
such name that the relative scores
and the amount of seed that each
grower has for sale will. be shown and
this will be sen to any person who
wishes to buy good seed.
