Second and a Third.
Forest county potato growers did ex-

resentative Lee Stewart wired us yes
terdav, the following message:
''L. s. Jacobson. of Mole Lake, won
first place on Peerless potatoes, and
second on Ohios and Triumphs.
j. A. Dixon, of Argonne, captured
first place on Irish Cobblers, and fourth
place on Rurals.
Claude Colburn, of Hiles, took sec
ond on Irish Cobblers and third on Rur
als."
This is certainly a fine showing and
the winners are to be congratulated
for putting it over the older potato
growing centers. We have always
claimed that Forest County is the ideal
potato growing section, and it is being
proven so every day.-Crandon Repub
