Tomorrow it is probable that resolutions will be presented endorsing the work of the democratic members of congress o Growing Contest Delayed A Year It is with regret that the Bulletin has to announce that the Corn Growing Contest must be postponed for another year owing to the lack of interest among the farmers of Eastern Connecticut. Wednesday was the closing day for the entries showing that but 34 had declared their intention of competing, some of which entries were conditional. The minimum was to be 50, All granges in New London and Windham counties were notified of the contest. Two explained that the offer had been discussed and that some members would probably enter. One replied that there was no in- terest in such a contest. The Bulletin's one interest was to encourage the farmers to raise good crops of corn instead of buying it from the west. It would have cost $1,000 at least to have conducted the contest. Some expected that there would be a thousand contestants and were willing to enter under that condition while other farmers misunderstood the Bulletin's attitude, having the idea that it was a money making scheme.® Many millions of dollars are sent west every year from New London and Windham counties for grains and pork that could be raised here. The Bulletin 15 interested in the farmers and will make the offer again next January for the crop of 1913 and hopes to get enough entries then to warrant it in conducting the contest.
