"The best corn we have ever seen
in North Dakota"
That is the belief of the two corn
judges at the North Dakota State
Corn Show, who today began work
on the 700 exhibits that have been
sent to the show from every part Of
the state.
The judges are p. ]. Olson and o.
0. Churchill of the state agricultural
college at Fargo. Both men have
been judging corn exhibits in North
Dakota for many years, and Church.
i'll was instrumental in getting sew
eral corn shows started.
Churchill pointed out that the ex-
hibits showed the benefit of cduca-
tional work in the state by the state
corn show and by experts from the
agricultural and other colleges, in
corn raising and the selection Of ears
for exhibits.
Improves Corn Selection
"Why, four years ago, when we
would start judging exhibits at any
exposition, we had nothing but q
jumbled mass Of corn to work on.
The farmers merely gathered in SO
many ears and brought them to the
show. Today care is used in the se-
lection, and that naturally goes \
long way in the improvement Of Sc
lection of seed for the next year, and
in that way benefits the corn-grow-
ing industry in North Dakota as .
whole"
Besides being of the best quality,
the exhibits numbered fully ~. many
as those sent to the state exposition
last year, it is shown by the list Of
exhibitors.
Exhibits have been received from
practically every section of the state,
including the Indian reservations and
state institutions, according to H. p.
Goddard, secretary Of the Bismarck
Association Of Commerce, which is
sponsoring the show.
Junior Clubs Represented
Exhibits from the junior and All
clubs are the largest since the show
was started. A complete wall has
been set aside for specimens sent by
the club members, and experts at
the show stated although not Of
ficially judged yet, the exhibits
would rank among the highest.
Practically every variety Of corn
grown in this state is represented by
the exhibits Of the club members.
Although only four junior clubs have
sent their exhibits to the corn show,
individual members have listed ex-
hibits under their own names. These
also rank high as compared with
other exhibits, the judges said.
Thirteen exhibits, including pop
corn, were sent by the Grant county
club, while the Hebron Corn club
. junior organization Of Hebron, sent
in nine. The Adams county junior
