Claus Charley of Brownsboro, who won first last year at the state fair, was this year awarded first in the Boys' Agricultural Club with an exhibit of corn. His brother Leland won first in the boys' corn-growing contest, as well as first in the boys' open corn contest, Class A. Vern Owens of Wellen carried off first in Class B. Others of our boys winning in corn are Joe Collins of Table Rock, fourth; and Sidney Bentley of Talent, fifth. It will be recalled that seed-corn from the Claus Charley field was distributed last spring to all boys in the county who applied for it. This was done through the school superintendent's office and was paid for by the Farmers' & Fruitgrowers' bank. About 25 of the boys made exhibits at the state fair. Miss Esther Miller, Medford, was awarded first prize in the poultry raising contest, Division 4. The first prize in these project contests are trips to the O.A.C. at Corvallis for a two weeks' course during the summer school of 1916. Other boys and girls winning prizes at the state fair are the following: Joe Collins, Table Rock, first on watermelon, first on pie pumpkin, second on Hubbard squash. Ida Stearns, Gold Hill, fifth on sewing. Harriet Howells, Medford, third on handmade dress. Mand Rice, Talent, fifth on pie pumpkin. Louis Sweet, Beagle, fifth on bread. Merle Willits, Persist, second on potato growing. Jake Cook, Gold Hill, fifth on potatoes. Mildred Lynch, Talent, fourth on baking. Harold Burnett, Talent, fifth on onions. Robert Keller, Ashland, second on bird house. Chester Nickleson of Portland was awarded first prize for the best individual exhibit in the agricultural section. D.M. Lowe of Ashland received second and Leonard Gilkey of Lebanon third. Advertisement: DAISY BUTTER Has a superior flavor over other butters. Insist on DAISY of your grocer. Made in Medford.
