A decided step towards, realizing
the object of the first annual Corn
and Potato Show, in S:utsman Coun-
ty in short. to prove that this coun-
ty can raise something besides wheat
and small grains. and that it can
successfully diversity. was attained
at the show which closed it's three
days program at the jamestown Ar
mory Saturday night. BY the Won
derful showing OF corn and grasses,
was proven beyond question that
Stmtsman county can raise success
fully the bast of the feed crops, de-
manded for real profitable diversi-
fication. And the potatoes exhibit
ed proved that altho many a farm
err is already realizing profits from
the homely ''spud", there is here al
so a. fine opportunity to bring in
more income to the farmers annual
budget.
The first annual corn and pota-
TO show was complete success from
start to end. The quality, number
and variety of exhibits far exceeded
the most optimistic hopes OF those
who promoted the affair: the attend
ance was fully as satisfactory, the
armory being filled at al 1.-The even
ing program and good crowds attend
ing afterAoens. and..the programs OF
and entertainment were
OF high class. Many thousand people
during the three days examined the
exhibits of corn. potatoes. and 9TH
er agricultural products, the visitors
coming from al lparts OF Stutsman
county as well as Jamestown. and
there were visitors also from other
parts of the state, whose comment
frequently expressed. was that the
exhibit ranked we'll with any Of its
Kind held in North Dakota. I'm
doubleday the corn and potato show
will be an added stimulation TO the
farmers of Stutsman to raise more
of these two products next year, and
as result, more stock. dairy cows and
hogs and be less dependent upon
the one crop, wheat.
The exhibits of potatoes and corn
have been saved. and will be dis
posed of for seed in the county. pos
sibly at the next meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce. under whose
auspices the show began.
