great many ways" said A. c. Smith of
M. E. Smith & CO. Its educational feature
is valuable in the possibility of educating
people TO raising two bushels of corn where
only one grew before. 1t has brought INTO
Omaha a large number of people and with
out question 1t is a valuable proposition
for both the wholesaler and the retailer.
We ought by all means to make 1t perma-
nent."
1.-THE corn exposition has been entirely
satisfactory in every way" declared w. 8.
Wright of Wright & wilhelm. II have
heard nothing but complimentary remarks
about it.. II brought into Omaha a good
class of people whose object was to study
and learn something of value to the corn
producer. 1t will tend to cement the in
terests of the people outside Of Omaha and
the people of Omaha. 1t has resulted in
bringing many new customers to the Omaha
market and it should be made a perma-
nent institution here
Beyond wOrds-Belden.
C. C. Beldcn declared that 1.-THE corn
show is beyond words. I think It is the
biggest and best thing Omaha ever had,
the Transmississippi exposition of ten years
ago not excepted. That exposition was a
big thing, but it did not teach, did not
euuCdtei uiu not SHOW peOpie HOW W III
crease their income. The corn show has,
and farmers who visited it did not simply
see an exposition of corn, but learned how
to go back home and raise corn like 1t,
to increase the yield, to make more money,
to produce in greater and better quantities.
1 acknowledge that I am an enthusiast,
but be that as 1t may, this exposition just
closed has been a wonderful affair"
at is an excellent institution" said
George N. Peek of the John Deere Plow
company, and it will be productive of
great good in an educational way. It has
brought to Omaha the largest crowd of in
t~elligent people interested in agriculture
1 have ever seen in the city in any one
week. 1 hope it will be kept up and we
shall be glad to. support it. Anything that
helps to develop this territory is of benefit
to the business interests of the city in all
Zines. The greatest thing we could do for
this district would be TO keep this eXposi-
ton here permanently"
Wholesalers Have a Share.
while the exposition came too late to
bring us many large wholesale customers
we sold many small bills to people out of
the city and it has proven of great value
Ito the retailers" said T. C. Byrne of the
Byrne-Hammer company. Undoubtedly Il
viii help to increase the production of corr
in the state by introducing modern meth
DDS of farming, the selection of seeds and
the preparation o fthe soil. 1t is of great
value to every Omaha interest and IL
should be made permanent and should re
ceive the support of every usine man"
George II. Lee, president and treasurer
of the George II. Lee company: 'The Corn
show has been a big success and has had
a good effect on business. While It has
not materially benefited our establishment
yet we have had many visitors who might
not have come to see us but for the Corn
show. / am glad it is to be continued
here. 1t is a great Institution and deserves
all encouragement we can give it,"

brief" said Mayor Dahlman, lis my opin.
ion o fthe Corn show which was about tn,
biggest thing l believe Omaha and Soutf
Omaha ever saw. l know the rancher ant
the cowboy have elarned things here tn,
same as the farmer, for, while the ranchel
does not raise corn to any great extent, h
raises alfalfa. and you know, alfalfa wa
queen of the show. This exposition hai
been the best kind of an educator for thu
tiller OF the soil and the best kind of al
advertiser for the cities of Omaha ant
South Omaha, and the people living on tn
farms and ranches nave been taught how
to grow better and bigger crops and tn
people in other cities have learned tina
we are on the map"
