The Sweep Stakes prize of 500 for
the state is to be awarded to the boy
who secures the highest yield in the
state, irrespective of the district where
located. Thus the prize winner in the
northern or the southern district who
secures the largest yield of mature
corn per acre, will not only obtain the
first prize in his distr ct, but in addi-
tion will be awarded the Sweep Stakes
prize. In the event that the first prize
winners in the two districts produce
the same yields, the Sweep Stakes
prize will be divided equally.
The Seed
Each contestant must furnish his
own seed. No special variety must
he planted to enter the contest, but it
is advisable to plant the best variety
of corn that can he secured in the
locality. Northwestern Dent, Mime
sofa No. IL, Minnesota No. %, Da-
kota White Dent, Golden Dent, and
the various varieties of flint corn have
given excellent results in the different
sections of the state. The former con.
tests have shown that home grown
seed of variety adapted to the 10.
cality gives the best results. The
highest yields are secured from goot
stands of corn. These can be oh
tained by carefully testing the sect
SO that its termination may be known
A perfect stand of corn, producing
six ounce ear on each of four stalk
to the hill, will give yield to excee,
65 bushels. If one out Of five hill
is missing, the yield will be reduce
one fifth, or q loss Of thirteen bushel,
Assure a good stand by careful test
ing for termination. Plant hom
grown seed that shows strong germ:

Purpose Of the Contest

Purpose OF the Contest
The contest is designed to arouse a
greater interest in corn production and
to demonstrate that mature corn can
be prohtably grown in all sections of
the state. The results Of the two for
mer contests have attracted wide at
tention and have had much to do with
the increase Of corn production in
North Dakota. The farm boy who
participates in this contest becomes a
local demonstrator, and through his
efforts widens the interest in the pro-
duction Of mature corn. As has been
pointed out, the value Of the corn crop
cannot be overestimated. It brings
q diversified and more permanent ag-
riculture and betters the production
per acre Of the crop following the
corn. The farm boy can help bring
this about rs we'll rs the grown per-
son.

For the past two years IN Acre Yield
Corn Contest has been held by the
Better Farming Section. Contestants
entered from all parts Of the state and
secured surprising results. The high
est acre yield Of mature corn was pro-
duced both years by Ransom county
boys. For the first time in the his
tory Of the state IN authentic yield
Of over 100 bushels Of mature corn
per acre was produced in 1918. High
yields were secured in the northern
part Of the state also, and the aver
age for the sixty prize winners Of
the state in both years Was 81 bushels
Of mature corn per acre. The contest
will be open to farm boys only this
year, as it was in 1918. Grown people
will not be allowed to participate.
Thirty-one state prizes will be dis
tributed. This in addition to the nu.
merous county prizes which will be
offered locally.

Dakota over ten years and under
