FARMERS ATTEND. .CT. CORN SHOW

The Second Annual County Corn Show brought out between i've and six hundred people representative Of the various towns in the county. Many farmers came to locate home grown seed corn for next year. and through the assistance of the county agent much helpful information was distributed.
 Out of a total of 125 exhibits, 27 were in the 50ear class for germfna- tion tests, with the remaining entries divided into 10-ear exhibits. small grains, the junior section and the smelling out contest. Attractive dis play windows, one showing numerous varieties of corn, and the other diff ferent food products and cooked dishes, did much to add to the pub licity of the show. MT. II. F. Dor sey, Extension Specialist from the. Connecticut Agricultural College, had a very interesting exhibit of types of corn and small grains, which clearly demonstrated the need for careful seed selection in order to inn prove both the yield and quality of these crops.
 The corn show is fast developing into 9 center at which farmers can pick up much helpful information. II is practically the only center offering a chance for farmer to compare his corn with that Of his county neigh bors. Another years crop is ahead. Plan now for a better exhibit at the next show.
