A corn and tomato contest was run
In the county this year. Fifty-eight
samples of corn and many samples of
tomatoes, both canned and in the
natural state, were submitted for the
contest. Many of the samples were
very good for this year and some Of
them would make a good showing any
year. Mr.. Bewick, the judge of the
contest work, pronounced them the
best he had seen this year.
This contest was financed by s. and
J. Gottlieb Co, of Kenosha, by whom
a purse Of $4,000 was distributed
among the corn growers and $4,000
were distributed among the tomato
growers
These contests are doing much to
interest the young people in farm life
and farm possibilities through intelli-
gent work on the fundamentals of
crop improvement.
Contests are being run in other
grains as well as corn in other parts
Of the state. Corn contests have been
worked in this county because no other
crop can replace corn, but corn can
readily take the place Of any other
grain crop.
Money wisely invested in education
will return better dividends to the in
dividuals and to the community than
investments in any other direction.
The conveniences of today have come
to us through people working in the
light and under the inspiration of
knowledge.
Every day that the child is in school
under the guidance and direction OF

uplift of patrons, school officers, teach
ers and pupils.
