Of Nicola started the enthusiasm by declar-
Ing that the corn show matter was of
greater interest to the farmer than 1t was
! to the business men OF Council Bluffs and
: that the interest of the farmer in the COM
: ing exposition was keener than that felt
by the most progressive merchant for his
! own business. He said the farmers had
I just awakened to the Importance of the
movement and that tho corn show to be
held in connection with the third annua
exposition of the National Horticultural
. congress would be equal to any that hat
( ever been held. President Hess of the
congress said the credit of forming thu
: National Horticultural congress belonged
: to J. Wilkes Jones, the moving spirit IL
organization of the first great nationa
corn show held at Omaha. 1t was not ex
a pected to assume the proportions of ma
