COUNTY CORN king
ISFAC|NG THREATS
Emmons Must Prepare Excep-
tional Exhibit to Win Fourth
Straight Title

EmmonS, champion corn county OF
North Dakota, must overcome several
challengers this fall if it is to win
its fourth successive state champion
ship.
Threats from other counties grow
more prominent daily as the ninth
annual North Dakota state corn show
draws near. The show will be held
in Bismarck's corn palace" the
World War Memorial building, Oc!.
1881.
A rapid increase in smaller corn
shows held throughout the state, par :
ticularly in the Missouri Slope region,
testify to the growing possibility that
King EmmonS soon may be topplCd
from the corn throne.
Corn shows have been springlng
up all over the state this fall. de-
spite economic conditions. Probably
the major reason for this is that
North Dakota has an exceptionally
good corn crop this year.
H. p. Goddard, secretary Of the
show, has been receiving inquiries
daily from prospective exhibitors.
Among the more prominent corn
shows on the Missouri Slope this
year, which will act as feeders for
the state show, are those at Steele,
Kidder county; Center, Oliver coun-
ty; Halliday, Dunn county; Hazel
ton and Strasburg, Emmons county:
Hebron and Flasher, Morton county;
Turtle Lake, Mclean county: Napo-
leon, Logan county, and Wilton, Bur-
leigh county. Some of these have
been held already and the others
will be staged before the state show.
Though he has received no defi-
mite word to the effect from E. M.
Granlund, Ransom county, 1880 IN
dividual champion corn grower, Cod
dard expects the champion to defend
his honors with another exhibit this
year.
There also is the possibility that
D. c. CrinminS. Emmons county
''corn king" who was not in the run
ming last year, will return in an ef-
fort to recapture the individual
championship honors he held in 1929.

Mountain Of Cobble Stones.

The tourist in the central and
northernly parts of California is likely
to have his attention attracted occa-
sionally to a great pile Of cobble
stones resembling In some respects the
pyramids of Egypt The first thought
Of the stranger is that it is an estab-
lishment for the sale of cobble stones.
What do you do with so many cobble
stoneS?" is asked. I'VE don't" an
swers the native, land we would like
to know what to do with them. A
few are crushed and, used for concrete
making, but this does not nearly take
care of the output Of cobble stones. So
they just remain, an unsightly pile"
The fact is that these stones are left
in the wake of the great gold dredges
which are passing through the country,
leaving desolation and cobbleS behind.
The land after being passed over by
che of the dredgers Is worthless for all
purposes. Many beautiful orchards
have been sacrificed to the gold hunters.

The prospect of promotion among

Gated from the record of the past in

possess an interest for those who are
fond Of basing their speculation upon

ton or certainties are derived from
such records. Average promotion flow
