ake Many Prizes at Roland armeTS'
Institute.
Roland, Jan. 19.-At the Roland
farmers institute last week, the Egg
land family conspired to clean up ev-
erything in the prize offering that were
put up. When Referee F.. D. Staen had
made his decisions it was discovered
that Sam England led in trophies and
prize money won. In the first trench,
he won first and championship on ten
ears OF Reds Yellow Dent, thereby
obtaining the beautiful silver cup OF
the Farmers Savings Bank that was
held by Henry Birkeland last year. He
also won first and championship in
the single ear class and secured the
James H. Larson silver cup.
What Sam did to the other fellows,
however doesn't record all the win
nings of the highlands. Adolph Egg
land won third in Reid's ten ear class,
second in the best single ear, and first
in best peck of yellow oats. Then
along comes o. l. England with fourth
in the best ten ears of Reid and third
in the best peck Of yellow oats.
The institute was greatly handi-
capped this year by the very disagree
able weather, especially on the open
ing day. This tended to cut down the
number of exhibits In all there were
Only about thirty exhibits Of corn
which was less than last year. How
ever, the exhibits of corn this year
were of exceptional quality considering
the difficulties that the farmers had
to contend with in the way Of bad
weather A fine home economics ex-
hibit attracted much attention and 1t
is a successful feature of the institute.
The awards in this department will be
furnished later.
The biggest feature of the institute
was the program given by the Foil
inglo farm orchestra. on Friday eve-
ming. This orchestra is composed OF
six members of the Tjernagel family,
who live northeast of Story City. Their
exquisite music attracted packed
house and it is the one topic of dis
cussion on the street and in the
homes

The Roland institute has been for
tunate in having live and active bunch
of officers and supporters. The young
farmers in the vicinity of Roland are
as progressive as any in Iowa and
they are doing things that many vi
entities in Iowa will not do for TWEEN
ty or thirty years. One 81 these things
is COW testing association that VIII

bandman Of the United States depart
