Show Helps Many
TRACY EVENTS ATTRACTS MANY
REDWOOD COUNTY RESI-
DENTS; ALL SATISFIED

A number of Redwood residents at
tended the Tri-County Corn Show
held at Tracy last week and all re-
port a very satisfactory and interest
ing meeting. The show was not only
interesting to corn growers but also
to everyone interested in child well
fare, in boys and girls club work and
in the work which the Farm Bureau
is doing.
F. L. French County Agent attend
ed and took an active part in the
work One of the features of the
Wednesday morning program was a
meeting of the Redwood County Farm
Bureau which attracted the attention
of practically all those in attendance.
Adella G.. Pratt, superintendent of
Redwood County schools, assisted Mrs.
Baker in the bread work and other
phases of girls club work as we'll as
taking an active interest in all the
other work done. Miss Katherine
Johnson, Redwood County's Sehoas
nurse, had charge of much Of the
child welfare work done, giving a ba-
by bath demonstration which was
watched with keen interest during one
meeting. Miss Johnson also gave an
illustrated talk on babies at one of
the movie houses before the regular
program one evening and this was also
enthusiastically received by the par
ents present Max Treu of the high
school faculty was also in attendance
being IN charge of the two stock
Judging teams formed by Redwood
Falls boys. Superintendent G.. Knox
of Lamberton, several of his teachers
and students were also there, taking
an active part in The meetings SO that
Redwood County may feel that Ter
interests were well looked after a.
the show.
Several Redwood County residents
also took prizes, complete list of
which will be published later. Corn
prizes were taken by Tom Hoskins Of
North Redwood, his son, Tom Hoskins
Jr. and by J. l.. Colborg. The Red
wood Falls Bread Team also took first
place in the demonstration work, CIV
ing two very successful demonstra-
tions. The girls in the team are Har-
riet Keefe, Margaret Burmeister and
Ina Jones' In the individual contests
in the class A bread making contest
Ina Jones won the prize of $500 Ger
trude Nielsen of Lamberton the second
prize, Harriet Keefe the third and Ma
RE Anderson of Lamberton the fourth.
The announcement of the winners in
the stock Judging contest will be made
later. 1t is a big experience to the
boys and girls of the various schools
to meet in these contests and the re-
suits more than justify tho slight ex-
penditure of money which is made by
the respective school districts which
pay the students travelling expenses,
and by The Tri-County Association
which pays the living expenses while
they are attending tn eshow.
Redwood County may also feel
flattered by the fact that the seere-
tary of the i-County Association is
a Redwood County man and that the
County shines in reflected glory be-
cause of his very efficient work In
handling the show this year as IN
former years. The secretary is l..
T. Andrew of Springdale township,
and his work during the show just
passed elected many flattering COM
ments from the state workers pre-
sent as well as from the local people
attending. Mr.. Andrew has long
been one of the most efficient school
officers in Redwood County, he and
his brother officers having obtained
splendid results in their district for the
betterment of his community, and his
expert handling of the details of the
Tracy show, many of which were the
particular responsibility Of his office,
was a proof of this.
