In th§ bread contest it was the plan to send score cards to each girl who entered the contest but the cards were misplaced so as to make this impossible, so only the total score could be given. Lack of time pre vented any of the corn from being scored in detail and only the best three were selected from each township and then from the best in each township the best in the county were selected. After the contest the corn was all sold to the highest bidder, the entire amount bringing $16.45 while the heat ten ears brought $2.25. There was no selection made for the best ear in tne county.
