The three best yields and best sam
pies Of corn were sent to the state
leader, Mr.. Erickson and were placed
as follows: Albert Birkland first;
Levi Dahl, second, and John ALL
strom, third. Albert produced 1913
bushels Of dry shelled corn on his
acre according to Department figures,
Albert and Levi both winning a trip
to the State Fair next fall, receiving
their car fare and expenses. It is pos
sible that other prizes may come to
the boys, but at present we do not
know of any. We were unfortunate
the past year in having some of the
prizes offered under conditions which
we were unable to fulfil.
An effort is already being made to
have the acre yield Corn Contest
throughout the state bigger and bet
ter than ever, the coming season. It
is certain that a number OF the boys
who were in the contest last year will
enter again this season with renewed
effort. Announcements and arrange
ments will be made little later, CIV
ing more detail.

Director Of Agriculture.

NOT INCONSISTENT.

The editor of the Willmar Tribune
who does not believe in party conven-
tons, was a delegate to the Demo-
cratic convention in St. Paul last
week. Evidently the members of his
party are the only ones who can be
trusted not to abuse the convention
Breckenridge Telegram.
Because the editor of the Willmar
Tribune has advocated and still advo-
Gates the direct primary the Brecken-
ridge editor and other editors assume
that we are opposed to party conven-
ttons. We are not, and have not said
that we are. We are opposed to the
system which gives any one or two
gatherings the monopoly on public af-
fairs and render them supreme in en-
forcing their dictum on the rank and
file of any state or community. You
cannot have representative govern
ment without public discussion and
the crystalization of sentiment of rep
resentative bodies of citizens. To as
sumo, as even some progressives do,
that the direct primary, prohibits such
gatherings is misconception of the
purposes Of such law. But the de-
mocracy of the people must have the
final say who are to be the candidates,
and the primary safeguards this, if
even in an imperfect way.
But parties under the direct pri-
mary will develop into different kind
Of organizations than are parties as
we know Them. The State primary
law can be simplified and perfected
by the adoption of the same rule that
governs Minnesota county and legis-
lative elections-by the abolition of
party names on the ballot.
Then parties would have to stand
for something that would bear the
broad daylight Of open discussion and
have cohesive power to hold the peo-
pie together-or go to pieces, as they
should when they cease to stand for
anything but pelf and public plumber.

9oYs' ACRE YIELD
CORN CONTEST FOR 1915

Results OF Last Years contests.-
Winners Scores Tabulated.
We cannot say that the fact that
last year was a very poor corn sea-
son, due to an unusual amount of cold.
rainy weather, is very important
item Of news, after having the point
discussed so much during the past few
months. It will, however, serve in q
large measure to explain the results
Of the Boys Acre Yield Corn Contest
In Kandiyohi County last year. Coun-
ty Agent r. M. Poe had approximate
~ fifty boys in various parts of the
county lined up for the corn contest
last spring, but many Of them dropped
by the way side early in the season
due to the unfavorable conditions.
About the first of September, some
who were still in the contest and
were interested came to US and asked
what was going to be done since the
county agent had gone. We volun-
teered to do what we could and i'm
mediately got in touch with Prof. T.
A. Erickson, head of the boys and
girls club work in the state. We Sc
cured from him q list Of the boys and
their addresses, as well as consider
able other valuable information. We
wrote a letter to each boy asking If
he was still in the contest and stat
ing that we would check up his re-
suits for him il he wished, since there
was no county agent. A number Of
replies were made from all parts Of
the county. ALL those who asked to
have their results figured out were
carefully measured. We are indebted
to Mr.. Shaad, the Agricultural Direc-
tor of New London, for his assistance
in giving information and helping to
| check up in his community.
Several Of the boys were encourag-
ed and instructed in picking out ex-
Eibits of ten ears sending them to
Ortonville and also the Corn Show at
st. Paul. Albert Birkeland, of WILL
mar. near Eagle Lake, captured a
blue ribbon and five dollars for win
ming first place from this county at
Ortonville. William and Jacob Hook
stra of Svea, near Roseland, getting
seven dollars for second and third
places. It has been reported that
John Ahlstrom of Spicer got a place
at the Corn Show at St. Paul, but
the details have not yet been learned
The following show the results OF
the boys who had their acre checked
up. Seventy-two pounds being taken
for bushel of ear corn.
