With over $50 entries already re-
ceived and a number still to be un.
packed, total exhibits at the state
corn show gave promise today of
going over the 800 mark, setting q
new record.
The previous high mark for en-
tries at the show was nearly 700,
received last year. A better crop
this year, combined with greater in.
terest generated by the holding Of
community corn shows, were given
as reasons for the increase by show
officials.
Exhibits In Separate Building
Exhibits are being placed in .
separate building, erected next to
the city auditorium, where programs
are to be held. Increased interest
in the show made construction Of
the new building necessary. II the
weather remains fair, all ATTENDANCE
records are expected to be shattered.
All parts Of the state are repre-.
sented by entries Of corn. Cass,
Sargent and other counties in the
southeastern part of the stcte sent
in many samples, while the Missouri
Slope country, especially Burleigh,
Emmons, Mclean, Logan, Mcintosh,
Morton, Grant, Sioux, Dunn and
Mercer had more entries than ever
before. In the northwest section,
Ward, Mckenzie, Mountrail, Divide
and neighboring counties were rep
resented by entries. while Grand
Forks, Ramsey and Walsh counties
entered many samples.
Competition is expected to be
keen this year for the State Corn
Show County cup, awarded each
