JASPER COUNTY BOYS

Win Laurels in Larimore (N. D.) Corn Contest. Mrs. Anna Stride, formerly of near Remington, but now of Larimore. X. Dak., in renewing her subset rpiion to The Democrat, sends us the following clipping from, a Grand Forks paper, which shows that Jasper county training in corn growing has been productive of results in North Dakota, the Shide brothers winning two firsts and one second in the Larimore corn show in which there were 34 contestants: As usual the little city of Larimore, thirty miles west of us, is up and doing things. No community in North Dakota has accomplished more toward the agricultural progress of the state than the community that surrounds Larimore. Their last big stunt was, a corn growers' contest, a movement inaugurated by the Elk Valley bank. The high school assembly hall was used for the meetings and' were taxed to their capacity to hold the farmers and their wives who came. Banker Anthony Stonehouse presided over the meetings, introducing the several speakers of note’who were in attendance. Prof. L.' F. Randlett, of the State Agricultural college, was the first speaker of the day and addressed the farmers on corn growing. Prof. A. B. Hess, principal of the Larimore Schools, told in interesting manner of the experimental work, on the ten acre plot the high school have been cultivating. Exhibits of corn raised by the boys were used to show how careful cultivation and a study of the soil and conditions worked toward the highest success in raising corn. Prof. Hess has a plan in view for next summer, of which he spoke and extended the boys of Grand Forks county an invitation to assist him in. He. wants to go into camp with a goodly number of them for two weeks and study crop conditions with special reference to corn growing. small grains and dairying. W. J. Thompson, bachelor of science and agriculture from Chicago. present and gave an address on soil conditions, etc. Mr. Thompson is a representative of Swift & Co., in Chicago, and a well known expert on soils, etc. He came to Larimore expressly for the corm growers’ convention and was not only highly interested in the meeting, but gave out much information gained by long years of close study of the subject, that cannot help but be of great service to the farmers locally. J. D. Bacon, of the Lilac Hedge farm, Grand Forkk, was present also, and was called upon for. an address. Mr. Bacon gave a review of practical experience on his own farm in raising corn; and expressed some good ideas in regard to a greater study of scientific farming. A happy closing feature of the con-
