A field check of one-acre competitive plots of Montcalm which are being grown on 16 farms by members of the junior grain club Las been made by LeRoy G. Brown, agricultural representative for Huron. The 16 boys competing will be scored com petitively on the condition of then* plots, on the records they have kept of the work done and the progress shown by the crop, and on grain samples to be shown at Exeter fair. In face of a most discouraging season, Mr. Brown commented, the club members, who range in age from 12 to 18 years, have done everything that could be expected of them in tlieii' testing work. The 16 plots, scattered over as many farms, show a relatively low inci dence of loose smut, Mr. Brown found during his inspection, and only occasional traces of ergot.
