MEDALS FOR CORN CROWERS I LaFayette, Ind., April I—Bronze as well as gold and silver medals will be awarded men in the five acre corn growing contest! —Indiana corn grower’s classic—who produce more than 75 bushels of corn to the acre, it has been announced by the secretary of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association. Heretofore, gold medals have been awarded those men who grew more than 100 bushels to the acre. Last year five men obtained them. Silver medals-have been given those who grew 85 and under Uhi bushels. This year the rules have been amended so ! that a man who grows 75 bushels and under 85 will receive a bronze medal. Forty-five Hoosiers won silver medals last year and perhaps 100 would have obtained the bronze medal. The rules regarding gold and silver medals are unchanged. 1 Work has been started already by IJ. A. McCarty of the Crops and Soils Divirion of the Extension Department, who is in personal charge of the work, in enrolling entrants. Last year 330 men ; n 29 counties finished the con test, the early frost forcing a number to drop out. No event has arouses more interest among corn growers oj , has been a bigger factor in promoting better crops than this affair. • A special effort will be put forth this year to enroll a great many men because the seed scarcity and labor ' shortage means that every acre must i be made to produce its maximum crop and the five acre contes, is one means ■ of obtaining increased yields. o - IVAen Itching Stops ----- I There is one safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin.
