lie COhN 0HOW OF l9O9 was a
grand success in every particular.
OF the thousands that viewed it
there was but one voice. that of
astonishment at the great showing
made, and that of regret from
many who had failed to make an
exhibit. Everyone was more than satisfied and
it was the universal desire that a corn show
become perma nent feature of the Fair.
Ii one tenth of the farmers of the county
who promised last year to make an exhibit this
year 90 SO we will have the biggest exhibit in
the state. show of this character means lots
OF OF hard work and did not feel able to give the
earnest solicitation of the officers of the fair
association have consented to again use my
best efforts towards making the second show
lar superior to the first, and that will be going
some. To do this need the hearty co-opera-
tlon OF every corn raiser in the county and it is
now up to you. If this second show meets ex-
pectations there will be no trouble in making
IL permanent. You can prove your interest by
coming to the fair and making an exhibit. and
we want not only your presence and exhibit
but. want you also to boost for the Fair and
Audubon county. This show means more to
the farmers of Audubon county than most peo.
pie think, SO if you believe in your county and
in your own ability get busy and see that YOU
have your exhibit in place.
The only matter of regret last year was
that one township was not represented at all,
and two others by small exhibits and it made
these townships ashamed of themselves when
compared by the fine exhibits from many of
the townships We hope this year that every
exhibit worthy of the township The premi-
ums offered are the largest offered by any coun-
ty OF the state, being over $4,000 in value and
this should insure your liveliest interest as we'll
as very large showing. Read the list care
fully not only for the cash prizes but also for
the special prizes which are generous and
valuable.
Let everyone.take an interest in this mat
ter, tell your neighbors and see that your town
ship is properly represented
We ereglad to observe the great interest
taken in the show last year by the boys and
girls under Is years OF age. They had their
dads guessing last year, and if we are not very
much mistaken they will show the grown-ups
this year how little they know about good corn.
Come on boys and girls. get after the aged wise
men and help make this show better than last
year, which will be 'going some.''
We hope to have with us this year for at
least three days of the fair some expert not
only to judge the corn but to lecture each day
as we found last year the talIlWaS appreciated
