answered his first efforts. Some of Amer
ica's best stock and platform lecttrcrs
were then acquired and bettered each yjar,
with a corresponding increase In attendance
until at the present time the ten days'
short course at Ameo Is the unrivaled
winter school of America and Canada. The
competition Idea, perhaps more than any
thing else, has been the rallying point
around which the short course Idea has
sprung Into popular favor. Each year com
petitions sre Inaugurated In stock and grain
Judging, Journalistic contest and by ex
hibiting the choice product of the farm.
3"he Iowa Corn Growers' association was
the first of these organizations and it has
sprung from ar Insignificant state Institu
tion Into an association which is counted
over the west as the strongest farmers' co
operative society In the corn belt, and it haa
done more good to the atate of Iowa In the
last five years in promoting Ideals of crop
raising and in inspiring young men with a
liking for their surroundings than any
other organization or Institution In this
state., but thla ia only a single case of
where the Ames spirit haa caused farmer
to organize. The sheep brecdei of the
state got together this year, a year ago
the Iowa Highway commission waa inau
gurated and next year It Is proposed to
hold the loV'a Dairy association's meetings
largely at Ames.
The short ceurse In lows means s time
when the fsrmers can see themselves the
perfections of the show ring, when they
can hear the best speakers in their profes
sions snd from them derive the Inspiration
toward better living and better farming.
