Paul. This is the first of it's kind
to be held in the northwest and a
large number of prizes are being

the auspices of the First National

of the northwest.
Corn and cattle contribute
capital for Bigger Bank Balances"
is the slogan adopted by the
management of this great show.
The object of the show is to en-
courage every farmer in the North
west, and the farmers sons, to
grow more corn and cattle be-
cause these will produce Bigger
Bank Balances" for the farmer
and greater prosperity for the
Northwest. The farmers and the
bankers Of the Northwest are
alive to this fact, and it is con-
fidently expected that the ''First
National Corn Show will receive
the greatest display Of corn the
Northwest has ever seen. The
keen interest displayed by far
mers on the first announcement
that this Show would be held in
dicates there will be thousands of
entries made for the prizes offered.
Reports coming in from the en-
tire Northwest indicate that the
acreage planted to corn in the
states of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, will be
vastly greater than in 1914.
The prize competition in this
mammoth corn show is open to
every farmer and farmers son in
the ''Zone Of Plenty states o,
Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon. One hundred
and twenty valuable prize cups in
all will be competed for, one half
of the number being awarded to
mems exhibits, the other half to
boys exhibits.
For the corn competition, each
state has been divided into dis
tricts. There will be no competi-
ton between states or between
districts, the contests Ibeing con-
fined entirely to the individual
districts.
There will be four prize cups
awarded in each district of each
state, a first and second prize for
men, and a first and second prize
for boys.
First Prize: Beautiful engraved
silver loving cup, valued at $4,000.

bronze loving cup.
The first prize awarded the
adult farmer in each district who

beautiful engraved silver loving
cup.

a handsome golden bronze loving
cup, suitably engraved, will be
awarded to the farmer in each
district displaying the second best

Every farmers son in the
Northwest who figures on making
agriculture his business in life
will find these prizes worth striv-
ing for: The growing, prize
winning boys Of today are the
successful farmers of tomorrow.
The youth who possesses the deter
mination, the resourcefulness, the
ability and the knowledge neces-
sary to raise corn of a quality that
