PRIZES AWARDED At
STATE CORN SHOW
Wallace Cook of Newark Carried
Off the Grand Championship
Honors.

~This corn is good enough to go 10 any
of the big shows" said Prof. A. E. Gran
than of Delaware College, last Friday
afternoon, at the New Castle-Kent county
corn show, which was held In the New
Century Clubhouse at Smyrna on De
cember and z, as he tied the grand
championship ribbon on a ten-ear exhibit
of white corn shown by Wallace Cook OF
Newark.
The farm bureaus of New Castle and
Kent counties, in cooperation with the
business men of Smyrna, provided the
premium list and managed this corn
show, at which three silver cups, 5000 in
money and 20 ribbons we're distributed
among Il exhibitors from Kent, and SIX
from New Castle county. Besides the
regular exhibit of corn the home demon
stration agents of the two counties had a
very attractive display of freless cookers
and food products. The Boys Corn Club
contests proved to be very interesting to
the fathers and mothers, as well as to the
boys.
The Bows Corn Club exhibit consisted
of ten-ear samples of corn grown by corn
club bows in the two counties. Some of
this corn was as good rs any IN the show
and the exhibit was good throughout.
Wallace Cook of Newark, who exhibited
the grand champion ten-ear and fiffy-ear
sample in the show, is a corn club boy and
he also exhibited the best ten ears IN the
Bows Corn Club exhibit. A Judging con-
test in which the boys Judged three ten
