N. W. CORN SHOW OPENS DEC. Is
More Than 1000 Exhibits From Eight
States to be Displayed in st.
Paul at THIS Time.

st. Paul, Dec. 14.-The largest corn
show ever held in the Northwest will
open tomorrow in the banking rooms
of the First National Bank and the
Northwestern Trust company. There
will be more than 1000 different ex-
hibits.
The corn show is one of the fea-
lures of the campaign outlined by
James J. Hill to create a greater in
terest in diversified farming in the
Northwest. Early this year the agri-
cultural experiment department OF
the First National bank and North
western Trust Company of st. Paul
took the initiative in giving publicity
to the project. Bankers of the North
west were asked to CO. operate, with
view of interesting farmers in their
respective localities to enter corn at
the show, and despite the unfavorable
weather conditions this season, a suf-
ficient number of tell-ear samples of
corn have been received at the St.
Paul headquarters to make repre-
sentative Northwestern display.
Each exhibit of corn will be placed
in separate compartment on racks
of a special design, and entries will be
segregated so visitors may view corn
from any particular territory they are
interested in in the States of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, North and South Da-
kota, Montana, Washington, Oregon,
and Idaho.
