Fred Killing tells us that there is a
movement talked of to offer a prize of
500 to the first B%rookings county
farmer who raises 100 bushels of corn
to the acre. The money it is expected
will be furnished by Brookings citi-
zens and the institute association will
have charge of the contest. Many peo-
pie will scott at the idea of %Brookings
county raising 100 bushels to the
acre, but Mr.. Killing says that it can
be done, and we know of no better
corn authority around here. The coun
ty last year raised corr that averaged
all the way from twenty to seventy
bushels, and the latter figures are not
a great ways from the 100 mark. Sc
lection of seed, preparation Of ground
and care will all enter into the success
of the undertaking. 100 bushels will
not come this coming season, but Mr..
Killing is confident it can be done in
the near future.
