IHE COLORADu STATE FARM
BUREAU CORN SHOW-
One of th main projects of the
Colorado State Farm Bureau for 19-
20 was to promote a State Corn
Show In order that this could uc
carried out to a successful conclu
sion, a committee of three was
placed in charge F. R. Lamb, Vice
President of the Colorado State Bu
reau, is chairman of this committee
He Is assisted by E R. Bliss a mem
ber of the executive committee of
the State Farm Bureau and A E
McClymonds of this College Exten
sion force who has had charge of
the field work during the season
This committee has put lot of time
and effort, on this project Mr.
Lamb Is sending out the following
execellent statement of the matter
which every one In Colorado should I
read. »
The State Corn Show which la
now being promoted by the State
Farm Bureau In cooperation with
the Agricultural College anil Exten
slon Service will be held at the Stock
yurds In Denver during the Natioua
Western Stockshow- The premium
list will be out in a short time and j
will show what a lot of preparation,
is being made to make the first
State Corn Show an Important event
in the agricultural history of CoIj
rado.
1 Very few crops in Colorado have
made such rapid gains In impor
tance us corn has made in the last
few years, both In acre
age and Increased yields per acre.
The Increased acreage has been bfot
about largely by a realization of the
fact that corn Is a paying crop un
der nearly every one of the various
soil and climatic conditions of the
state- This fact has not been gen
erally realized In many sections of
the state, and at the present time
there are still hundreds of farmers
who are not aware of the great pos-
Hibilllties of this crop. fThe in
creased yield per acre has been a di
rect recuult of seed selection, regis
tered seed, getting varieties that art*
adapted to the various conditions,
and general Improvement of corn
farming methods.
Those who art? directly responsi
ble for these gains are the county
Farm Bureau olllcers, county agents
and extension workers; for the
• ountles where the most progresi has
been made are the counties where
these have been the longest and have
done the most active work Many
farmers have been Induced to try out
some of the methods recommended
In corn growing methods. The
work done by the Boys and Girls
clubs has produced the most valu
able suggestions and instructions in
the better farming methods.
This corn Improvement work had (
become so manifest in several purls
the state that the State Farm Bu
reau decided tliut the time had
come when the farmers of every sec
tion of the stateshould see and realize
what was actually being done in
these few corn growing counties To
accomplish this result the State
Corn Show wus decided upon as the
best possible means.
The county agents, club leaders
and other extension workers have
made an especial effort this year to
get as much good corn grown us
possible so that the exhibits would
show the results of the careful work
that had been done- Report* from]!
nearly every section of the state
prove that the work has been done!
well, and that the State Corn Show]
will be one that would be a credit .
j
to any corn growing state
The exhibits this year will con-,
sist of singe ear, ten ear and one
half bushel cratee. There will be.
separate classes for registered seed,
market seed and the different va
rietles- There will also be classes
for different altitudes as follows:*
Below 5,000 feet, between 5,000 feet
and 6,000 feet, and above 6,000
feet, with no distinction between
dry and Irrigated corn. f
Every farmer In the state should
see these exhibits, for they will be
a revelation to many corn growers'
who are not familiar with the ad
vancement that has been made. ‘The
Boys’ and Girls’ club exhibits will
show what can be done by these ]
youngsters under proper supervision
and will reveal their ability to be (
the farmers of tomorrow Farmets (
and stockmen f.om many other statel ,
will get at first hand a clear demon- !
stration of the value of the corn ,
crop In Colorado that could not be (
gotten'In any other way. I
With everyone pulling together ,
with our committee, with each ex- (
tension worker, county agent, and ,
county farm bureau officer busy in f
search of a lot of exhibits of good ,
corn in the various counties; with ]
