The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-01-06
(By v. E. Brubaker)

The third annual Northern WIS.,
consin Grain Show was held at Su-
perior, Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. Three years ago the
organization was started when a
small grain Show was held at Ash
land Jet. at the State Experimental
Farm, when only 40 or so samples
of Grain were exhibited. This
year 400 samples were exhibited and
according to the judges and other
officials the exhibits were of the
highest quality and would stand
well at any State or National Grain
Show. Northern Wisconsin is be-
coming widely known for it's nigh
quality seed grain and are in demand
from many States. Mr.. Brubaker
who spent considerable time collect
ing these grain samples from our
farmers, states, that we can do
nothing of greater Importance than
to concentrate our efforts along these
lines, to constantly keep before the
public the progress of our Agricul-
tural development. He also wishes
to thank the farmers many times,
who prepared and sent in exhibits
for this show. When we are all
doing little, or ii other words, CO.
operate in these lines of work, much
can be accomplished.
Our farmers exhihisl so SAMPLES.

Bayfield, County farmers won

to pick and clean grain samples for
this Show. We are looking forward
