CORN GROWERS WILL ENTER STATE CONTEST Corn growers in Stearns county interested in knowing how well their corn yields stack up with other good growers in the county and over the state are urged to enter the Minnesota five acre corn yield contest. This contest sponsored by the Minnesota Crop Improvement association, according to the county agent's office, accomplishes a very definite place in corn production in the state.

Last year there was but one entry from Stearns county-that of Arnoe O. Wegner of Paynesville, and Mr. Wegner's yield on a basis of 14 percent moisture was 75.1 bushels per acre. All yields in this contest are calculated on the basis of 14 percent moisture in order to have a uniform basis on which yields can be determined. Under the plan an entry fee of $3 is charged and this is payable to the crop improvement association.

This covers membership in the association for $1 and leaves $2 available to defray expenses such as checking yields, making moisture determinations, preparing material for exhibit, and any other expense in connection with the contest. The five acres used for contest purposes can be located anywhere in a CUTTERS TO ENGLAND London (UP)-Millions of dollars worth of diamonds that were in Amsterdam and Antwerp and the expert cutters who fashion them, are safely in London now.
