the corn school, just the same as if
it had been done in the regular course

to the Centerville institution in the
hope the initial meeting may prove a
success. Representative Clore, Of

speakers. He is known as the cham
pion corn grower OF the United

member of the bureau that will con-
duct the evening sessions. With the

these men will appear on the pro-
gram during the day.
