THANKS
Hon. John A. Nash Extends Thanks
To All Who Assisted In Audubon
C0unty'S First Corn Exhibit

thousands that viewed 1t. Everyone
was proud OF the showing and of Au
dubon County. If one-tenth of the
enth usiastic corn growers who pro.
missed to exhibit next year are on
hand we will have the biggest show
ever; What we want is good husky
lot of Corn Boosters in every town
ship to talk Corn. Nothing but corn,
more corn and better corn will ever
make 5000 per acre land. Now ia the
time to get ready for next year exhibit
by more careful selection of seed.
Keep this in mind. We want every
live farmer to become member of
the Audubon County Corn show next
year. We want 100 members and par
ticularly the boys and girls.
They showed their Dads something
this year and we hope that next year
they will be on hand with still bet
ter showing. Audubon County soil
will produce 100 bushels per acre with
good seed and proper cultivation and
the Audubon County Corn Boosters
are trying to make this statement
good. Watch for the premium list
and be sure you are on hand next year
The many kind words flom all over
the County and the excellent showing
made has more than repaid me for all
the time and money spent to make the
first show a success. desire to ex-
press my thanks to the officers of the
Fair Association who willingly rem
dered every assistance possible; to the
business men whose liberality with
cash and special premiums made the
show possibility and grand success;
to Mr.. D. @. Ross who "stayed with
me from "stsrt to finish", to Mr. Paul
c. Taft Of the State Agricultural Col
lege at .Ames, who rendered such sat-
isfactory service In judging the corn
and who cheerfully answered the hun
dreds of questions asked him; to the
press of the County who generously
gave their best and last but not least to
the EXHIBITORS who made the show.
To all of you thanks and I hope the
watchword OF every coru enthusiast
will be "Meet me at the fair next year
with large and carefully selected ex-
hibit.
