MONTANA TAKES
PRIZES FROM WORLD

Forty-one of the sixty-seven prizes
Hay and Grain Show at Chicago the
first week of this month were in world
competition. While this state did
not duplicate its record of last year
when it won sweepstakes for the best
bushel of wheat in the world, it won
first and fourth places on durum
wheat, third, fourth, seventh, ninth,
fourteenth and. twenty-third on hard
red spring, second fourth, fifth, sixth,
eighth, tenth. eleventh, twelfth, ff-
teenth and seventeenth places on
hard red winter, second, third and
sixth on two rowed barley, third,
fourth, fifth, sixteenth, seventeenth,
nineteenth and twenty-second places
on white oats, fifth, seventh, eleventh,
twelfth, fifteenth and sixteenth on
alfalfa seed, thirteenth and fifteenth
on alfalfa hay, and fourth and fifth
on sweet clover seed.
In the regional boys and girls
club corr contests, Montana swept
the boards with all the first five
places. 1t also made good winnings
in the regional contests on yellow
and white dent corn and on flint
corn.
Montana was against a hard game.
The display was made under the aus
pieces of the Montana Seed Growers
Association, but it was financed by
voluntary subscriptions from Montana
organizations and individ-
lals, interested in the growth and
development of the state. Without
help, it would not have been
possible to make the showing. The
from the province of Saskat-
Canada, which won the larg-
est prizes, was backed by the treas
lry of that province. Besides de-
the expenses of the exhibit
saskatchewan offered $500 in cash,
% each grower who Won sweepstakes :
$50 for each first prize. This
financial stimulation to growers turn
ID the trick.
