Bates County Corn Show Z Sure
Project.

Forty Bates County farmers have
enlisted in the Bates County Corn
growing contest, and it does not
close until June Ist. This looks as
though we are sure of one hundred
entries in the project that is SO
worthy of mention.
The Farm Bureau does not hope 10
have especially pampered fields from
which the corn will be selected for
this show show. That is the reason that
we are placing the acreage so high.
We feel that five acre field will give
lis more representative average
than if we should select one acre EN-
tries. The result of this corn grow
ing contest will enable us to arrive
at very definite conclusion as to the
productivity of Bates County's soils.
There is no doubt in our opinion but
that Bates County can raise good
corn, but there are those in the coun-
ty that have been planting inferior
seed and caring tor their crop in 2
| careless manner, who have not re-
ceived the yield that they would like,
and, these are the men who complain
that Bates County is not a good corn
county.
We hope that some of the farmers
who read this article will send in
their names as members OF this corn
show, thereby starting out i'll the
ranks of improved corn growers, a,lt
placing themselves on record as
heartily in favor OF such extension
work, which is sure to build us good
system of improved agriculture in r
county.
Fellow farmers, you will be glad to
have entered even though you may

MACDOWELL MUSIC CLUB.

Yesterday evening the MacDowell
Music Club held it's regular weekly
session at the residence of Rev. A.
Leffingwell, and it was a most inter
esting meeting, with an excellent pro-
gram that was enjoyed most thor
oughly.
Owing ito the illness of Mrs. w. F.
Overton it was necessary to omit her
numbers upon the program, as pub
lished Sunday in these columns, and
other changes were made in the pro-
gram.
Doctor w. R. Boag of the Church
of England, who delivered the SER
mon at St. Andrews church Sunday
morning, was spresent, with Mrs.
Boag, and the gentleman favored the
club with an exquisite rendition Of
Kathleen Mavourneen," his fine
voice contributing wonderfully to the
splendid effect.
Reverend Leffingwell read an ex-
cellent dissertation on the life of
Mcdowell, the composer in whose
honor the club is named, and the rev.
erend gentleman then regaled the
club with piano solo, one of his own
compositions.
Mrs. Josephine Saxon read study
upon the Importance of music in
school training.
The evenings entertainment closed
with four songs, sung with rare eff
feet by Mrs. A. M. Gillespie:
(a) "Open the Gates of the Tenn
pie" Knapp.
Ob "The Song Of the Chimes"
(Worrell).
&C. "By the Waters of the Mime
tonka" (Lienrance).
(d) "A Love Note" (Rodgers).
