VARIETY WILL
BETTER SHOW
OF LAST YEAR
Careful Selection of Exhibits
Is Shown in the Entries
Now Received
COUNTIES REPRESENTED
Practically All Sections of
The State to Have Ex-
hibits in Corn Show

The finest corn show ever held in
North Dakota will open tomorrow.
This was the verdict Of officials Of
the North Dakota State Corn Show
Tuesday afternoon, as the exhibits
were being arranged in the show
room, in the Annex Hotel building
on East Broadway.
A finer variety of exhibits than
last year, when the first state show
was held, will be shown here, during
the four days Of the show, Novem-
ber IL, l3, IA and 15. The exhibits
come from all parts of the state
with many counties making special
effort to win the corn championship
OF the state by taking the L. B..
Hanna sweepstakes cup.
The show display room will be
open tomorrow morning and will re-
main open morning, afternoon and
evening for the four days. Judging
will be by Dr.. H. L. Walster and
Prof. p. ]. Olson Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College.
Unpacking Exhibits
Men were busy today unpacking
exhibits and arranging them, under
the direction of O. E. Anderson,
floor superintendent. The exhibits
are of better quality this year, A.
F. Bradley, show secretary said, be-
cause exhibitors had the opportun-
ity to pick their corn in the field
and because of the instructions sent
out as to how to pick show corn.
The fact that many local corn shows
have been held throughout the state,
to pick the best exhibits to be sent
to Bismarck, has also helped to in
sure a finer quality Of exhibits. A
group Of 10 exhibits from one town
may represent the pick of $50 ex-
hibits in a local corn show. The
holding of local corn shows has
been encouraged by officials of the
state show, the object being to get
a representative display of the finest
quality, rather than endless numbers
Of exhibits.
Several of the exhibits here have
been entered by individuals in the
International Hay and Grain Show,
to be held in Chicago, November 20
December 6. The matter of send
ing all the prize winners from the
state show to Chicago is under con-
sideratisn.
The L. B. Hanna sweepstakes cup
was won last year by Sargent coun-
ty, this going to the county whose
exhibitors scored the largest num-
iber of points in the show. As the
cup must be won three times in
succession to be retained permanent
ly, several counties are out to take
the cup away from Sargent county.
