CORN CONTEST 1914

Capt. Reuben i. kolb, commissioners 81
agriculture and industries. announced
today that Alabama would have no corn
contest this year. This decision was
reached by Captain Kolb and other

The reason for deciding against a
corn contest this year is due to the
fact that an Alabama farmer has cap
tused the title of champion corn grow
er of the South and that the state as
whole has made wonderful progress in
the development of this crop. The eff
forts of the farmers this year will be
directed principally along other lines
with the present push and we'll di-
reeted energy the fun output of an
acre of land has not yet been reached %
said Commissioner Kolb in a letter to
the governor appended to a corn bull
letin now being printed. "Still as we
are far i'm the lead we have de-
cided for this year to forego having a
corn contest"
Commissioner kolb also told the gov
ernor that 1--WE are more than delight
cd TO be able to inform you that this
state now contains the champion corn
grower of the United States The
champion is Cecil Adams of Eclectic,
who grew 239s6 bushels of corn ON one
