THE CORN LADY 



of farmers raising better stock and more 

 corn, except to have money to make better 

 homes ? And how can we have better homes 

 unless the girls are interested in and care for 

 such things?" 



There were some good essays on the pro- 

 gram. How we did laugh when one of the 

 girls read the following in her essay on 

 "Why I Like to Live on the Farm:" 



"I milk four cows every morning before 

 breakfast. I like to live on the farm because 

 I can sing and whistle as loud as I want to 

 while I milk them, and I do not bother any- 

 one. In fact, it seems the louder I sing, the 

 more milk they give." 



We are going to take all our best work 

 to the County Farmers' Institute next month 

 and see if we cannot win the county school 

 district trophy that is offered to the school 

 district making the best display at the Boys' 

 and Girls' Corn Show and Industrial Ex- 

 position held then. The boys are going to 

 compete for a place on the Boys' Corn 

 Judging Team, which represents our county 

 at a state contest, to be held at the State Col- 

 lege of Agriculture in January. We are get- 

 ting all the information we can, and the boys 

 are studying nights on it.
