| am pleased with the work of
the Audrain county boys in. the
contest work in which eight of
our boys were entered in compe-
tition with the boys and girls of
the ether Farm Adviser counties
and in fact the entire state. This
was the first time that Audrain
has been represented in this way.
Ralph and Jewell Bybee of
Molino won 4th and 5th in the
Boys Acre Yield Contest. John
Crooks of Molino won second in
judging beef cattle. Mr.. Crooks
received a handsome trophy
given by one of the Live Stock
Commission Companies. Mr..
Roy Waddington of Benton City
won third in sheep Judging.
There were nearly one hundred
boys and girls entered in these
contests.
The following boys were enter
ed from Audrain county: Alvin
Beamer, John Crooks, Henry
Greer, Raymond Shook, Aubrey
Jones, Roy Waddington, Ralph
Bybee and Jewell Bybee. All of
these boys, excepting Ralph and
Jewell Bybee, are students in
Mcmillan High School.
/ hope that many more boys
will take advantage of this
splendid opportunity, and that
the girls will also be in hand
next year. There was total OF
130 boys and girls entered in the
