channels of the association. Mr..
Chamberlain insisted that he did not
care a continental whether he was
president OF not, but he did not want
to see the position prostituted to
mere commercialism by placing a
man at the head who is engaged in
the seed business. Later on in the
course of some remarks Mr.. Cham
berlain stated that in case Mr.. Wheel
er was elected that he would advise
the farmers institute board not to
appropriate n cent for the state
corn show. He said he did not want
to be understood as using that as a
threat in any way, but he believed
that when he presented the situation
to the board that the corn show
would receive no more money.
Mr.. Wheeler strongly resented the
insinuation that he could not act as
president of the corn show without
using the position to favor the BUSH
ness of the seed company. He did not
feel that because a man might be
engaged in business that he was bar
red from holding a position of that
character. George Whiting of Yank-
ton. supported Mr.. Wheeler's side Of
the question and showed his resent
ment at the statement made by Mr..
Chamberlain.
To end up the situation Mr.. Cham
berlain at the conclusion Of another
talk. nominated H. e. Dawes. Of Full
ton. rs president. In view Of what
had been said Mr.. Wheeler declined
to permit his name to be used. With
that the election Of omcers was car
ried on with the following result:
President. d. e. Dawes. Of Fulton:
vice president. II. D. Thompson. Of
Fulton; secretary. Prof. G. willis. Of
the State College, Brookings; treas
urer q. p. Sand. Of Mitchell. Direct
ors. J. w. Parmley. Of Ipswich. for
the northern district; r. +. wickham,
Of Alexandria. for the central district
and John Lakings. Of Hurley, for thu
southern district. Secretary Twamlsy
was not . candidate for reelection
at ~thespresent time, as he stated thst
he would not be in the state at tho
time Of the next corn show. However,
had he been a candidate there is mo-
question but what he would have
been elected. Mr.. Dawes, who was
elected president, was strongly In
favor Of Mr.. Wheeler's candidacy,
and although nominated by Mr..
Chamberlain his sympathies were
with MI. Whelers against the insinu-
ations that were acst in his direction.
Secretary Twamley made some
thing Of a statement to the members
at the close concerning the future OF
the association. In which he counsel
grains and seeds in the hall. and
ed the members to put up a strong
organization to insure a long life to
the show and further that the secre-
tary should be paid a salary Of at
least $500 per year. for there was
an immense amount of work connect
ed with the show each year.
The exhibits at the corr show In
the way of farm machinery was very
small, but this was due solely to the
fact they could not be shipped from
the east and get here in time for the
show. There is much Of it now n
route to Mitchell but Of course is laid
out somewhere on the road.
The Walker Manufacturing Co., Of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, was about the
only outside exhibitor who got here
with goods. The Dakota Improved
Seed Co. had a. fine exhibit of their
among the display was some of the
prize grains which Mr.. Wheeler
bought at the National Corn Show
held in Omaha last month.
