List Of Winners.

Ames, Jan. Young men from Iowa
farms came into their own at the state
corn show Friday when the judges
awarded the grand champion sweep
stakes in the ten ear class and the
thirty ear pure bred class to Wayne
w. Polk, OF Sidney. who entered the
state show for the first time this year
and who grew corn for himself fol
the first time only four years ago. The
grand champion single ear award also
went to young man. Emanuel Peter
son, OF Harcourt.
These winnings by entire outsiders
were more remarkable because they
were in strong competition with first
prize winners at previous corn shows
who this year were placed in a spec
ial professional class. The amateurs
defeated the professionals In three OF
the four main championships. Willard
Zeller, Of Cooper, professional, won IN
the bushel eighty ear class with as per-
eectly uniform high grade bushel OF
seed corn as yet been shown at
state exhibition. His son, Ivan u
zeller, won the grandchampionship ten
ear in the junior classes, and Mr.. Eel
Ter also won blue ribbons In the par
ent and five offspring class.
Many of the first prizes in the section
al contests were also taken this year by
the younger farmers who have attend
"a the sher. courses at iowa State
College and in their home communi-
ties during the past few years, .and
who have put into practice what shey
have learned abont corn.
Many of the entries oe Iowa's corn
and grain products, said to be the fin
est ever gathered together In Iowa. will
be sent to the Panama Pacific exposi-
ton as a part of Iowa's display.
With record of twelve years OF
successful corn and small grain shows
behind them. the 700 members OF the
Iowa Corn and Small Grain Growers
Association have organized to make a
strong campaign before the next leg
islature for state aid for the Iowa corn
show which has now become too large
