organization can be successful.

samples at this point as was displayed u
the fair last year from the entire safe
and they are in far better shape. If tn,
display from other places equals ours th,
agricultural display from South Dakot,
at the great fair will be equallsd by few
and second to one. 1t is singular 3,
me that IA people take so little interes
in this matter. Out Of several hundret
letters sent TO farmers requesting then
to save and send in samples of grain bu
few responded, and we were obliged Il
