Corn and Tobacco Meeting a Success.

Corn and Tobacco Meeting a Success.
The first corn and tobacco growers
meeting under the auspices of the Ed
gerton Credit association in connection
with our high school agricultural class
terminated successfully Friday evening
with an address by State Commissioner
of Agriculture Norgard. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the dates fell upon bad
weather but the attendance was fairly
good at all the meetings. On Thursday
evening F. j. Holt, principal of the
Sun Prairie high school, whose agricul-
tural class took nearly $500 in prizes at
the state fair last year, gave an ad-
dress explaining the work being done
in that locality and explained the posi-
bilities of an agricultural course in a
high school.
Prof. Otis of the University of Wis
consin gave very pleasing and inter-
esting address on the problem of 1.-The
Boy and Girl.
The displays of farm products were
exceptionally good, and Friday fore
noon was devoted to judging and award
ing of prizes. In the afternoon Prof.
T. L. Bewick spoke on boys and girls
clubs, Prof. Moore on corn breeding,
and James Johnson of the state expert
mental station, on some tobacco prob
lens that confront the growers. Prof.
Moore highly complimented the display
of corn, which he said would rank we'll
with several state contests.
The following awards were made in
the several contests:

The domestic science classes furnish
ed lunches at nominal cost to those
who attended the meetings.
The cooperation of the farmers of
the vicinity in bringing their exhibits
and by their presence gives some as
surance that such meetings will be
made an annual affair.
