In each instance master farmers are selected by agricultural publications, which receive nominations of candi- dates from whoever cares to make them and then spends a year inv gating and scoring the candidates. They are graded on a 1,000-point basis, divided as follows: Operation and or- ganization of farm, 260; business methods and ability, 200; general farm appearance and upkeep, 90; home life, 300: citizenship, 150. At a banquet, usually attended by leading agricultural experts of the country, the master farmers are award ed gold medals and given their “degrees.” Master farmers are selected in Illi- nois, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota. North Dakota, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan and Iowa. DR. RAGATZ GETS AWARD. G. W. U. Professor Wins Prize for History Monograph. Dr. L(J\\(ll J.
