Rural School Leaflet 1381 



Mr. Teal, manager of the farm bureau, talked on "What Constitutes a 

 Good Ear of Com," and Dr. Barrus of Cornell interested the children 

 very much with his illustrations and lesson on corn smut. 



Many helpfvd suggestions were made to me that evening, and I feel 

 confident that next year our exhibit will be even better. The braid of 

 King Philip corn, which was lent to us, was really quite an exhibit in 

 itself. Many of the farmers offered to make l^raids for me next year. 



My one regret is that we didn't have a flash light taken so that you might 

 see how it all looked. 



Just now is a busy time, but I shall try to send you our corn in a few days. 



Sincerely,

 Dear Mr. Tuttle: 



Please find enclosed the program for our Com Day. We had a splendid 

 time, and there was a nice display of com. We have sent to the Farmers' 

 Week the best ear that we have. 



The pupils and teacher from another school spent the afternoon with us. 

 After the program we played games till time to go home. 

 Trusting that our ear of com will win a prize, I remain.
