Samples Of Minnesota Is
Picked by Judges Would Not
Ripen in Three.fourths of
State, Theo. Martell Says
Corn Show Should Be Edu.
catiOnal

Protest against the standards
used by the judges in picking the
prize winners at the North Dakota
state corn show has been voiced by
Theo. Martell, county agent in
Grant county, In statement issued
today.
AFTER viewing the relative plac-
ings as judged by the corn show
judges at Bismarck, there apparent
ly is q doubt In the minds OF many
regarding what type OF corn we
should adhere to in this state" said
Mr.. Martell. From the viewpoint
OF good many, the placings can
not be substantiated by the type Of
ears that we want to grow in this
state as a whole. The judges are
selecting entirely too large an ear
for this state and, II that Is the
case, which we know 1t was this
year, we are headed In the wrong
direction.
Not Early Maturing
"For instance, almost every sam
pie OF Minnesota 13 as placed by the
judges will not ripen in three
fourths of the state OF North Da-
kota. It may do we'll In Sargent
county or even in Emmons county
and possibly in some parts OF Bur-
leigh county, but it does not do well
In Grant county, Adams county,
Hettjnger county or in any other
county outside OF the few In that
select spot as enumerated.
III we are going to continue to
set up as an ideal a corn that has
been selected for It's size rather than
for its maturity, then the education
al value OF the corn show Is mi
nus quantity, and since the educa-
tional value of the show Is the thing
that will make it q success or has
made 1t q success, then let us get
down to brass lacks and allow moth
ing but educational features place
ct the corn show.
Many Farmers Converted
"For the last 10 or IL years l
have heard a continuous preaching
by various judges and teachers In
agriculture that we must get down
to q corn that will mature early, so
as to have seed for the following
crop, and that is what l have been
preaching In my two years in Grant
county. have been successful in
that l have many people converted
from the old theory-that of select
ing the largest ear for scotland
when we find the reverse advocated
at the corn show through the plac-
ings there, we do not feel as though
We should tolerate It with silence.
'Under those conditions, 1t will
BE- OF no use for the farmers OF
Grant county to send to the state
show samples OF their early matur-
ing corn Of the dent varieties and
have the judges pick as standard a
small area that comprises about
one-twentieth OF the entire state"

houette is the swagger thing. Moth
ing in the way of a wrap quite so be-
speaks an appearance Of youth as
does slim trim sports model, styled
after the manner of the one in this
picture. The mannish worsted of
which it Is made has much to do with
its smartness. Tan and brown-checked

The little belt of tan calfskin gives it
an intriguing style touch.
Belts, be they ever so narrow, to
