Corn Will Be Judged Friday.

The annual corn show as conducted by Druggist A. F. Long will close with the inspection of the corn by Prof. Christie, of Purdue University/ Friday of this week. The entries are not quite so numerous this ye r as they were last but there are ten ears fa eadh enTyy. and therefore the total amount of corn is somewhat greater than that of previous years. The splendid prizes that Mr. Long has offered for the best corn should cause every corn grower to make an entry, and the time is now very short There Is certainly some fine corn on hand and progressive farmers should take a great interest in seeing how the expert judges it, and as Prof. Christie will arrive here on the 9:55 train Friday and at once enter upon the task persons wishing to see the corn judged should be on hand at that time. Don’t forget the date, Friday, Nov. 13th.
