Exhibit At Chicago.
Twenty-Five prizes with a money
value Of $4,000, one Of them the
$45 first premium for yellow corn,
made up the total awards on Mary
land grown corn at the Internation-
al Grain and Hay Show at Chicago
last week, and is the most sweeping
victory which farmers Of the state
nave ever won in the keen competi-
ton OF the International, according
to officials of the University of
Maryland who attended the exhibi-
ton.
The achievement of the Maryland
growers is regarded as an unpre-
cedented victory for state the size

In the number of prizes won, Mary
land was second, ranking next to
Indiana. Last year growers in the
state won seventeen prizes, five be-
low the figure for this year. The

the yellow corn class which includ-
ed nearly 500 exhibits.

nearly half Of the 1900 corn exhibits

fact that the finest quality is invari-
ably produced in the territory in
