likely that it will lead ta number
ot exhibits shown. There ara
many, however, tbat have an inborn preference for Yellow Dent.
It always appeals to tbe eye and
there are many who strongly maintain its excellence for mush. It
is very often deeper in tha kernel
than tbe Wbite Cap and consequently the yield ot shelled corn
is comparatively high. Lancaster
County Sure Crop bas been tried
by a great many farmers tbis year,
aa well as in past seasons. Tbe
large number of growing days
this year resulted in a splendid
crop of this variety and it is likely
that the largest ears shown will
be those in the Sure Crop exhibit.
A caution is thrown out against
mixed straius or varieties in the
same exhibit. The ten ears should
be the best- of tbe crop and in
many cases will, no doubt, be selected from tbe seed of next year's
crop. Uniformity as to size of
ear, length, oolor of kernals, number of rows on ears, brightness of
kernal and cob—in general the requirements tor first class seed will
be tbe deciding factor in awarding
tba prises. Money and ribbon
awards will be made. The ten-
ears brought into tbe exhibit will,
if tha owner de-iires it, remain his
property. If they are selected
properly, tbey should make a
wonderful nucleus for tbe 1922
breeding plot. This will be done
in several case-*. It ia desired

great that the "highway department allowed the old ones to be

That was because the department could not handle the rush,

new year arrives.
