CHANCE AT A $4,000 WAGON
Givenas Prize to Farmer Who Produc.
esFinest Corn.

The following article which appear
ed in the Jefferson bee will doubtless
be Of interest to Crawford county far
mers:
Some farmer is going to get wagon
valued at $1,000 and every farmer is
eligible to the contest for the vehicle.
The wagon was made and is owned by
the Burg Wagon company, of Burling-
ton and they have decided to give the
wagon to the Iowa Corn association of
Ames, the same to be offered as grand
sweepstake prize to the person produc.
ing the finest corn during the season of
1904. The competition is opened to the
world, but it is freely predicted that it
will be won by some Iowa farmer.
The wagon is on exhibition at the St.
Louis exposition. 1t is finely construct
ed as watch: the wood work is highly
polished and the metal work is nickle
plated making most handsome APP
pearance. The wagon was built for
use however, and it is probable that
there will be a big contest for it's pos
session. Any Greene county farmer
who wants to compete, should write to
the Ames association.
