W. Nicholson, Ash Grove, average 90 bushels. The grand champion bushel of the show, Reid's Yellow Dent, was grown by II. G. Windsor of Boonville. The best bushel of white corn was ex- hibited by S. T. Mathes of Eagleville. The honor award for grand champion ten ears was won by E. A. Bennett, Springfield, with a sample of John- son County White. The grand cham- pion single ear, Reid’s Yellow Dent, went to H. G. Laugeman, Elmont. J. R, Shelton, Holden, took first place in the men's five-acre contest in south Missouri with an average of 103.15 bushels per acre. H, G.
