The Corn Show at the New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell 

 University, during Farmer's Week continues from Februar}^ 22-27. 

 We spoke about this in the January Leaflet. If exhibits of corn from 

 your school reach us by February 24, they may still be entered in the 

 show. We will pay expressage on all corn sent to Farm Boys' and 

 Girls' Contest, Corn Show, College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. A part 

 of this Corn Show is to be given over to Boys and Girls. The corn that 

 the boys and girls enter will have a chance of winning not only the awards 

 which will be given for the corn the boys and girls have selected them- 

 selves, but also for the awards to be given for the best corn at the show 

 whether entered by the old folks or the young. Certificates of merit
