A large number from this commun-

was held at Denison last week, and
we are proud to know that the coun-
| try west Of town claims the champion
corn growers of the county. Art
Houston grew and exhibited the best
bushel of yellow corn and had the
pleasure of seeing it sell for an even
$50 Frank Odell-our own Frank
grew and exhibited the best half bush
ell of yellow corn. One of r. w.
Techs boys entered the best single ear
of yellow corn in the school exhibit.
We are informed that the Houston
corn was grown from seed that cost
SIS bushel and that the judge pro-
claimed it the best bushel he had
judged this season. Fred Buss pur-
chased the best ten ears at $1,000.
We have not been able to secure any
greater details for exhibits, etc., from
this vicinity. Let it be said that the
Houston Brothers captured the great
est amount of prizes, both last year
and this. Farmers, there is lesson
in the fact that they have picked up
the best prizes at both short courses.

you are not satisfied with their win
ming every year, get into the game
and play it to win. Those attending
from this vicinity were: Fred Buss,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank McHenry. Mott
McHenry, Lucinda McHenry, Morris
McHenry George Weiss, Frank Odell.
