Wabeno Trims Green Bay

One of the best basket ball games
ever seen here was witnessed by large
crowd at Neiders hall last Friday night
when the local high school team de-
feated the West Green Bay high school
quintet, score IL and ID.
The Green Bay boys had big anvan-
tage over the Wabeno boys in size and
weight, they looked more like college
team than high school team.
Wabeno was the first to score and
from then on both teams played real
basket ball. The score at the end OF
the first half was: Wabeno 8, Green
Bay 6. The last half was little rough
but the roughness was on $3.50 basis.
This was the first home game Of the
season and the boys are to be congrat-
ulated on their victory against such 9
strong team. Coach Nelson is dessrv.
ing of much credit for the excellent
team he is developing. Wabeno fans
were proud of their home team.

Forest county is looki for all pos
sible advertising that it can obtain,
and if we should be fortunate enough
to win first place either at the State
Potato Show or state Fair, the news
papers and farm journals of the coun-
try would give us such publicity that
could not be measured In dollars.
So let all remember, who have the
interest of our county at neart, that
two or three men cannot put up win
ming booth at the State Potato Show
or State Fair, but it requires the CO.
operation of many to reach first place.

FOREST COUNTY WINS
TWELFTH PLACE AT
STATE POTATO SHOW

Forest County took 18th place in the
County booth exhibit at the State PO-
tato show, Milwaukee. Wis. last week.
Competition among the counties for
first place is very keen and this year
there were only 81 points difference
between first and twelfth place. Some
of our potato samples were perfect, but
we did not have enough of the good
samples to win the coveted first place.
The first six places were won az follows:
Oconto, Barron, Oneida, Waupaca,
Price, and Lincoln.
The Triumphs Of C. j. Wiegan, of
Crandon, won third prize in the stand
ard'variety class out of class of IL
exhibits. 1t practically was a toss up
between the first three samples which
would take first place.
Some of our Show stock was frosted
and considerable of the bin run stock
shipped by different farmers of the
county was frozen.
The show itself was splendid, but
from the standpoint of attendance of
Milwaukee people, and others it was
not so successful. 1t was the concen-
sus of opinion that the show should be
held in the northern part of the state
next year, SO as to give our growers
an opportunity to study the education
ai feature of the show, to know what
Show stock looks like.
We all know and agree that Forest
county can grow as good potatoes as
Oneida or Oconto counties, and still we
may wonder why our exhibit falls down.
Oneida and Oconto counties have
probably couple dozen growers who
are interested in Show potatoes and Sc
lect same while digging in the fall,
whereas we had four growers last fall.
There is a wide difference between
high class table stock and high class
show stock, anG until we can select
show samples from selections of many
growers, there win not I've very much
chance OF Forest county winning first
place at the State Potato Show or even
at the State Fair.
One Oneida county grower had bet
ter than 20 bushels of field selected
show stock, and many of the other
growers of that county had as many,
and We probably have wondered for
several years why Oneida county has
been winning on their potatoes. Quail
ity show potatoes can bs easily select
ed if there is quantity Of field select
cd stock, and it will be the work of
the committee to work out some plan
whereby we can interest more Of eur
growers in this work.

Field Day a Success
DESPITE Bad Weather

The annual Field Day exercises, re-
sumed this year after suspension dur
inc the war period, proved magnlhcently
successful despite several untoward cir
cumstances. A heavy rain fell Thurs-
dov and Thursday night, and the lover
ino clouds of Friday morning served as
a deterrent to many people. The dis
coverv of case of smallpox at the
Holmes County Agricultural High school,
and the uuaranti1ing of that splendld IN
stitution. also had a dampening effect and
kent many people at home who other-
' wise would have come to Lexington. Not
only was the representation from Good
mqn vcry small but many of the parents
and relatives of the pupils, at the Agri-
cultural High school throughout the
county remained at home, disappointed
that their children were deprived OF the
opportunity of participating in the va
rious text book, literary and athletic
contests The Agricultural High usually
gives good account of itself at the neio
day events, and general regret was 1eit
over the fact that unfortunate circnm-
stances prevented its participation IN
this years functions.
The heavy rain on Thursday night in
terfered very greatly with the work OF
barbecuing the meat, but the gang OF
workers, under the able and experienced
supervision of Paul Stein, nobly stuck
to their task and by staying up all night
and working assiduously and heroically
were enabled to furnish an amplitude
of barbecued meat by dinner time.
The crowd in attendance, while neces-
sarily greatly below what it would have
been had the weather been sunshiny and
fair. exceeded all expectations in view
of the bad weather All the exercises
were carride out according to program
and were we'll attended and greatly en-
loved. Good nature and good Fellowship
snd perfect order and decorum prevailed
throughout the entire day and night.
