Cleveland county was the cham-
pion crop growing county repre-
sented at the International Dry-
Farming Congress and Exposition
in a competition open to the world.
Cleveland county, whose list of
first prizes won at state fairs in the
past years is large, eclipsed all for-
mer laurels at Tulsa last week by
winning in the largest class of
counties ever entered in a similar
competition in the southwest. The
-prize is a silver trophy cup, given
by the Tulsa Commercial club, but
the mometarv value is nothing as
compared to the honor of wining a
first prize on such occasion.
Four judges officiated as the jury
of awards Prof. W. H. Fairfield.
superintendent of the Domintion
experimental farm at Lethbridge,
Alberta, is chief judge, and he is
assisted by L. A. Fitz, professor
of milling industries at Ihe Kansas
agricultural college; A. H. Leidish,
superintendent of the substation j
at College Station, Tx'eas, and N. J
0. Booth, professor of horticulture
and botany at the Oklahoma agri- j
cultural and mechanical college.
