was more than satisfied and it was the universal
desire that a corn show become a permanent
feature of the fair.
If one-tenth of the farmers of the county
who promised last year to make an exhibit this
year do so we will have the biggest exhibit in
the state. A show of this character means lots
of hard work and did not feel able to give the
time required for a second one but upon the
earnest solicitation of the officers of the fair
association have consented to again use my best
efforts toward making the second show far SUI
perior to the first and that will be going some.
To do this | need the hearty cooperation of
every corn raiser in the county and it is now up
to you. If this second show meets expectations
there will be no trouble in making it 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 Audu-
bon county than most people think If you be-
lieve 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 town.
ship will be fully represented and with an ex-
hibit worthy of the township The premiums
offered are the largest offered by any county of
the state, being over $500.0O in value and this
should insure your liveest interest as we'll as a
not only for the cash prizes but also for the
special prizes which are generous and valuable.
Let every one take an interest in this mat
ter, tell your neighbors and see that your town.
ship is properly represented.
We were glad 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 also to lecture each day as
found last year the talk was appreciated.
Don't forget the date, September 13 to It, 1910,
and be sure and meet me at the fair. Read the
rules and regulations as published in the fair
book, last years rules to govern. All prizes
will be paid in cash and in full. No entry fee
