AND POTATO SHOW.
SHOW A GRAND SUCCESS

At the Northern Montana Corn and
Potato show, held at Malta last week,
there were 800 corn exhibits, including
over 5000 ears Of corn, $50 grain ex-
hibits, S8 potato exhibits and 33 ex-
hibits Of alfalfa and grasses, making
Six hundred and fifty people viewed
the exhibits, which were attractively
arranged in the halls of the new Phil
lips county court house. The 5000
ears of corn were displayed on raised
platforms covered with green bunt
ing, thus making it possible for every
visitor to see every exhibit. The
corners were decorated with sheaves
of corn and pumpkins. The large
number Of exhibits and the quality
of the corn was a surprise to all the
visitors. The competition was very
keen in the corn classes, Valley coun-
ty getting away with one first and
two seconds in the Minnesota 23 and
sweet corn varieties.
On the second floor of the build
ing was the potato exhibit, consist
ing of 88 entries. Here again the
winners had to be of first quality.
In this class Valley county carried
away sweepstakes, the prize being
silver cup, the county collective BAN
ner and several firsts and seconds.
The third floor was made attractive
by the splendid exhibits of small
grains and grasses. In this class VAL
ley county won the silver sweep
stakes cup and the county collective
banner and large number Of firsts.
In alfalfa, Valley county stepped out
and carried away all the honors. Out
of eight possible awards on alfalfa,
Valley county received eight, besides
winning in Arctic sweet clover and
bronze grass.
People from outside the state who
attended the show were surprised at
the quality of the exhibits. This ex-
hibition clearly proved that the type
of farming in Montana is fast chang
ing from grain to diversification. The
diversified farmer, with corn, hogs
and poultry and other livestock is the
farmer who is going to stay and make
northern Montana a prosperous farm
ing country. At present the farmers
who are practicing diversified farm
ing are the satisfied ones. 1t is these
farmers who are putting confidence in
to northern Montana and making it
attractive for our eastern friends.
