FINE EXHIBIT OF CORN SAYS JUDGE

Prof. Montgomery Was Warfn in His Praise of Jasper County Corn Show at Armory. The prizes at the Catholic com show at the armory were awarded as follows by Prof. J. T. Montgomery, of Purdue University, Thursday afternoon. Sweepstakes, to Henry Paulus, a silver cup, donated by the Catholic Order of Foresters. Also the first prize of sls. -' Second, Jesse Beeher, $lO. Third, Adam Nagle, $5. Fourth, Henry Paulus, $3. "" In the grading the fifth, sixth and seventh places went respectively to the Indian School, John Martin and Joe Nagle. Prof. Montgomery preluded his grading by a mighty good and helpful talk on corn culture, seed selection and the care of seed corn. During the time he was scoring the corn he kept up a continual talk, about the merits or denierits of the exhibits. After considerable examination he eliminated all but exhibits 4, 32, 25, 20, 2, 13, 22, 15 and 26. These were removed to another part of the hall And given a very minute examination. Grains were extracted from each and examined and not a thing escaped the careful scrutiny of the judge. Speaking of exhibit 32 he said: “This exhibit Is very good in general appearance, hut the grain is too small, there are too many, rows on the cobs of some ears and the tips are not good. There are two double tips, which, are undesirable in show corn and not a good thing to breed. There 4s some bad fault back of It.” Of No. 2 he said, “These ears are too thick for thfeir length.” As he reached the end of the exhibits in the eliminating list, after examining two kernels from each ear, he said, “I think I have never gone through an exhibit of com and found so high a seed value. I have not found a dead gfain in the ears I have examined.” Of ekhihit 4 he said, This corn shows excellent breeding, but some of it seems a little immature. The tips of the grain wither, break ofl in the eob or a bit of the cob clings to the grain as it pulls out. Both of these are faults occasioned by a little haste in plucking the ear. Another proof of imfnaturity is the faet that erfrh grain is slight ly blistered. Not enough Jo impair its fertility hut it detracts from the show quality.” After he had made his choice Prof. Montgomery said: "I wish to

compliment you, gentlemen, on this show, it is first-class; not a bad exhibit in the entire bunch. In comparison with many shows I have judged it .Is fine Any of this corn will show well in the state exhibit. I hope that you have received some suggestions that will prove of value to you in the future and if you have followed me you should be able to piek your exhibit com with greater care in the future. I wish to eall your attention to Circular No. 18, issued from the Agricultural Experiment Station, which deals with show com and which iribjM>f you can have by writ ing to Purdue for it. You should also have your name placed on the mailing list at the station and you will then get all the bulletins that are issued and which are very valuable to all farmers.” Mr. Montgomery was earefully follow ed by a number of corn growers throughout his talk and scoring and all were mighty well pleased with his method of instruction.

BRIDGE LUMBER IS BEING HAULED

Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. Engineer Says Two Bridges Are to Be Constructed. As briefly-mentioned in these columns several days ago, Eugene Purtelle, the original promoter, and FI. J. Wilson, who is an engineer of ability, reappeared on the horizon of interurban hope a few days ago. They paid off the three office hands who have been on the job for the past three or four months and at once began making plans to • construct, a couple of bridges across the two dredge ditches south of town. Mr. Wilson stated that he had a carload of bridge material coming arid that he would have the bridges put in at once. The bridge lumber arrived Thursday .and is being transported by-wagon to the location of the bridges today. Other wagons are also hauling gravel and cement for the base of the bridges is to come in due course of time. ~

A reporter for The Republican saw Engineer Wilson today; He stated that he was detained away much longer than he had expected to be. He made a trip to New York and another to Detroit and he s&ys that everything is now cleared/up and that the road is going/to be built. He stated that the bridges will he put in and completed within the next two weeks if'the weather permits. The ditch' bottoms in both cases are ol quicksand and it will be neeessary to construct a concrete base (for the bridges. Mr. Wilson was working on the bridge plans when the reporter called. The workmanship is certainly a model of mechanical expertness. Mr. Wilson said to reporter that he really had nothing to say at this time. “We do not expect to do much this winter now, as it is getting too late,” he said to the reporter, “but we hope to have the bridges completed and all plans ready for grading just as early in the spring as we can get to work. I am not certain as to the exact route from the south end of Marlon township. I do not want to do any idle talking. We may go by Remington as originally planned or we may go from the south end of the township by & direct cut to Wolcott. But this will he worked out during the winter and when I speak next about the route you can depend upon it that it is final.” The presumption is that the company expects to retain the subsidy by completing these bridges this fall and that they hope to do the grading and lay the steel through< Jasper county next year, collect the subsidy and use it in continuing the work. There are a number of people in Rensselaer who are enthusiatic in the belief that they will accomplish the construction of the road, tuners who continue skeptical* are disposed to be fair and all are hoping that the road will eventually he built. That the men are spending considerable money here is certain. They have decided to retain the office rooms in the Roth building, which will stop Dr. Washburn’s plan to* move his family there for the winter. The Republican is unable to say just what the promoters are going to be able to accomplish. The best we can say is, just wait and 566.
