The samples of corn which were sent
in by five girls and twenty-four boys
were recently judged by County Agri-
cultural Agent, Griffith Richards He
YVES very much surprised at the splen-
did quality of the corn which was grown
by the children Few farmers in Ke1-
osha County grew as good corn this
year, and farmers would be glad to
pay fancy prices for the children s corn
to use for seed. purposes next spring.
1T is planned to return these samples
of corn to the children so they may
have seed corn to use for planting next
year. They will thus have seed that
they know will mature and will hence
have a good chance to win prizes in the
Corn Contests next year.

The boys and girls who sent samples
of corn to be judged deserve a great
deal of credit for they must have
worked very hard to have raised such
corn in such poor corn season. They
learned great deal about the growing
oil corn as well as how to select a good
sample of seed corn. It is to be hoped
that these children will continue to be
interested in corn growing for it will
help them when they grow up and
operate farms Of their own.
Children who have won prizes will
receive checks fromathe S. & j. Gottlieb
Company sometime before February LIST,
1918. Children who do not receive their
checks by this time are kindly request
