Was So Declared by Judges
at the County Agricul-
tural Show.
OTHER PRIZE WINNERS
Girls and Boys Will Enjoy
Trip as Result Of Their
Industry.

Not single pumpkin was exhibited
at the annual agricultural show IN the
court house on Saturday afternoon.
The old familiar saying Of the frost is
on the pumpkin" apparently did not
apply to Marion county this year for
the reason that there are no pumpkins
or else they were overlooked by exhibi-
tors. Usually there are quite num-
Der on hand. The exhibits at the show
this year were perhaps not as large as
some years in some respects, but sew.
eral of them were quite extensive.
Marion county corn came IN for its
FULL share of boosts. w. H. Kendrick,
state club agent, told County Agent H.
l.. Smith that the corn on exhibition
here was the best matured that he had
seen this year in the entire state. He
was so highly pleased with it that he
asked for the prize winning specimens
in the boys classes. He also request
ed that the corr grown by the farmers
that won prizes be sent along and this
will be done. On Saturday County
Agent Smith packed up the prize win
ming corn in the various classes and
put it in the hands Of the express com.
pany for shipment. The agriculture
show was under the auspices OF the
county educational committee.
One OF the unusual features OF the
show was that Joshua Mccoy, who re-
sides near Grays Flats. Paw Paw dis
trict, again won the first prize for his
crop of potatoes grown on tract OF
an eight of an acre Last year he
won it and as a reward he was given
a prize of $50 pounds of acid phosphate
and $50 pounds Of nitrate Of soda. This
he put on his potato patch Of about an
eighth Of an acra and everybody held
up their hands in ltorror believing that
lie had overfertilized. Joshua played
in luck for the weather man sent an
abnormal season anu the tubers sprout-
ed and grew big contrary to the calcu.
lations of scientific men who were
right had a normal season been ex-
perienced. The Eaters" developed
such yield that he has about thirty.
three bushels chucked up in the bin.

Natchful Waiting

There is one very disquieting thing
connected with this "watchful wait
ing" policy which has been endorsed
by the American people. II keeps us
always watching. Just as We get out
Of Mexico without Villa, and every
thing savcd but honor and our dead
soldiers and citizens, Germany orders
new submarine campaign, End note
paper is again in heavy demand. We
will have to again go through a vio-
lent exchange of polite notes and then
back down and have peace. Billy and
Villa are real bad men, and have kept
your Uncle Sam dancing to their mu-
sic until anybody Tut him would have
had enough.

New Mill Running

The Big Bend alfalfa mill is now
running full blast. The opening of
this large plant means much to the
citizens of the Big Bend section, af-
fording not only good market for
their hay, but its proximity to the
farming community makes the deliv-
cry of the hay easy. This entire sec
ton is rapidly forging to the front as
one of the foremost agricultural sec
tons Of the United States, and in a
few years the country will be dotted
with alfalfa mills, creameries and
other factories to take care of the
products of the fine farms. Verify.
