The International Collegiate Crops Contest

In ‘1': 24, during the annual meeting of the' n Society of Agronomy", the instructors

te Crops Contest” and to submit a plan.At this time the International Livestock Exposi-

tion in Chicago was sponsoring a grain and hayshow; also an “Inter—Collegiate Livestock JudgingContest”. Knowing this, the committee was askedto find out if the administration of the “Exposi-tion” would sponsor an annual “Inter-CollegiateCrops Contest” on par, in importance and relation-ship, with the “Inter-Collegiate Livestock JudgingContest” that had been held annually since theyear 1900.

Instructors in “Field Crops” courses in variousstate agricultural colleges, all members of theA. S. A., proposed and urged an annual “Inter-Collegiate Crops Contest” for the following rea-sons:

It was noted that many state and provincialagricultural colleges were competing in the an-nual “International Collegiate Livestock JudgingContest” in Chicago. It was observed that the ani-mal husbandry students who anticipated compet-ing in the Livestock Judging Contest, were moreenthusiastic and usually better students than othersin their class. Furthermore, the “International”was of great help to the instructors, by improvingand keeping them up-to-date in the planning andteaching of the courses in animal husbandry.With these observations in mind, the instructors

of “Field Crops” of the Association insisted thatsomething be done to provide crop students withthe same advantages and incentives, and to en-courage more cooperation among “Field Crops”instructors of the various state colleges.

Early HistoryA Committee of the A. S. A. was appointed in1921 to report at the next meeting. The Commit-tee consisted of Prof. A. C. Arny of Minnesota,Chairman; S. C. Salmon of Kansas, and Joseph F.Cox of Michigan.In 1922 the Committee-submitted the followingreport. Jour. Amer. Soc. Agron. 14:363, 1922:“Report of the Committee of an IntercollegiateGrain Judging Contest.In order to ascertain the attitude of the men re-

sponsible for crops teaching in the various Agri-cultural Colleges in the United States and Canada,a tentative plan was formulated and submitted tothem in September and October of 1921, togetherwith a questionnaire and a request for suggestions.Questionnaires to the number of fifty-one weresent out and forty-one were returned, filled outand a number of suggestions accompanied them.Of this number twenty-five indicated that theywould probably prepare judging teams in the eventa contest were held in connection with the Inter-national Live Stock Exposition in 1922. A full re-port was read at the annual meeting in NewOrleans in November, 1921. The report was ac-cepted at that time and the committee continued.The matter of holding a contest in 1922 was

considered in conference with officials of the In-ternational Live Stock Exposition during the 1921meeting in Chicago. That organization had beenconsidering a contest previously and two menrepresenting it were added to the committee.The enlarged committee met immediately and

discussed in detail the tentative plan. A numberof suggestions were made. With all the suggestionsin mind, another plan was formulated and sentout. A copy of the revised plan is attached.At a meeting of the'management of the Inter-national Live Stock Exposition, held early in 1922,it was thought best on account of lack of facilities

not to attempt to hold a contest in December ofthis year. It was suggested that a contest be heldat each institution as far as possible or that neigh-boring institutions arrange for contests.A letter was sent out to each institution urgingthat this be done and that reports be sent to the

chairman of the committee.A. C. Arny, ChairmanS. C. SalmonJoseph F. Cox

The report of the committee was adopted andthe committee continued.”

In 1923 the Committee’s report was as follows:Jour. Amer. Soc. Agron. 15:525, 1923:

“Report of the Committee on IntercollegiateCrops Judging Contest.Arrangements have been made with the manage-ment of the Hay and Grain Show of the Inter-collegiate Crops Contest, December 6, 1923. Anappropriation of $500 has been set aside to defraythe expense of the contest. Seven institutions have

already indicated that teams will be sent. One ofthese will come from Montana. The team fromthat state was the winner at the contest held atPortland. The purpose for which the committeewas appointed has been fulfilled completely.”

A. C. Arny, Chairman,of Minnesota

S. C. Salmon, of KansasJno. Pieper, of IllinoisC. A. Helm, of MissouriJ. F. Cox, of Michigan

Professor A. C. Arny of the University of Minne—sota, Chairman of the Committee, submitted theplan for the crops contest which was approved.Professor Amy was placed in direct charge of thecontest which was first held December, 1923 underthe sponsorship of the “International Livestockand Grain Exposition” in Chicago. The “CropsContest” has been held annually since that time,with the exception of the year 1929.

“The Value Of The International Intercollegiate

Crops Contest To The Student”

“We as winners of the first International Inter-collegiate Crops Contest do heartily endorse andsupport it.“To us the winning is a red letter day in our

lives, of which we are all proud. But the winningfor winning sake alone is a small item comparedwith the vast amount of crop knowledge which isnecessary in preparation for this contest.“What to many students of the past was a dry

boresome textbook discussion (Corn flakes with-out cream) was for us transformed into one of therarest delicacies. For us it was a goal to be attainedrather than an ordinary assignment in the text-book to be memorized. It was not an imaginarygoal set on a mountain top but one which developsfriendly rivalry and keen competition and in the.end satisfies the American desire for conquest.

“The contest to us was a guiding influence inthe choice of our vocations for it is-directly con—nected with each of our occupations. Having par—ticipated in the first contest and having watchedthe two succeeding ones and the influence theyhave exerted on the agricultural students of ourcollege we wish to recommend this contest as astimulus to crops students in all the agriculturalcolleges of America.” Signed:W.

Students at North Carolina State College ofAgriculture have competed in some twenty six

- (26) “Crops Contests” over the years 1923 to 1941Inc. It has been observed that not only have thesecontests improved the subject matter taught at thetime, but that the students enjoyed advantages andopportunities that are not available to them whennot in competition.The long extra-curricular hours spent by both

the instructors and the students in preparationfor the contest, placed the instructors in close per-sonal contact with the sudent. This provided a bet-ter understanding and an opportunity for advisingand helping him in solving all his scholastic prob-lems. Then too, we would like to think, the in-structor had ample opportunity to inspire and en-courage the student to do his best in perfectinghis knowledge of a subject.While the rules and regulations of the contest

have been changed somewhat over the years, thecontest remains based on three phases: marketgrading, seed judging, and identification of cropvarieties, state and regional adaption, weeds anddiseases.
