First Prize for Southern Part
Of State
BREEDERS WIN MANY RIBBONS
State Fair Visitors Amazed at Our
Wonderful Showing

Dickey county was we'll advertised
at the state fair this year by the ex-
hibit of her products which was COL
lected and arranged by the extension
workers. The large collection of corn,
grains and grasses was so attractively
arranged that the exhibit was award
ed first prize for the southern section
of the state. Enough prize money
was won to defray all expenses.
A large ear of corn which measured
two feet eleven inches in length and
twenty-seven inches in circumference
was easily the feature of the exhibit.
When prospective settlers were assur-
ed that this corn was grown in Dickey
county that could be purchased for
less than 500 per acre they made up
their minds to do little investigating.
The boys live stock Judging team
brought home more cups and medals
than any other team entered. Vincent
Kelsh won first prize in the entire
contest and was presented silver
loving cup. Glenn Marshall scored
highest in sheep and received gold
watch fob. The entire team, compos-
ed Of the two boys mentioned together
with Glenn Moore, won second place
and brought home a silver loving cup
to prove it.
Vincent Kelsh will be member Of
the team that will represent North
Dakota in the Judging contest to be
held in Sioux City, Ia, some time dur
ing September. Glenn Moore will be
second alternate on this team and in
case either Of the other boys cannot
make the trip he will go as member.
Throughout the entire contest Of
sixteen classes Of live stock the boys
gave a remarkable exhibition Of con-
sistent judging and they lost first
place by very small margin. They
were coached by the county agent and
club leader on trip during which
they visited nine Dickey county farms.
