The BUSINESS netting of the South
Dakota Coin and Grain Growers AS
~sociation was held late Tuesday af-
|ternoon. at which the reports of the
officers was. made. Treasurer Sand
reported an exceptionally good Sit
uation, and showed a detailed state
ment of the receipts and disburse-
ments.
The following officers were elect
ed:

ings college, who has not been nam
ed as yet; treasurer, E. P. Sand, OF

o. e. Jones, of Sioux Falls, a seed
man, made some objections to the
officers of the association becoming
exhibitors in the corn show, as past
history has shown that three of them
had been winning prizes and which
he thought acted as a barrier against
the amateur. w. S. Hill stated that
inasmuch as the officers of the asso-
citation did not in anyway have any
thing to do with scoring the corn nor
awarding the prizes he believed that
-lthey were not subject to any such a
bar. However, the objections stated
by Mr.. Jones were overcome by the
reading of the resolutions, in which
one paragraph covers the objections
that he makes. The resolutions es-
Stablish a professional class of corn
raisers and eliminates men who are
exceptionally successful and raise
, seed corn for profit. In the resolu-
lions given below this point is made
clear. and shows that the amateur
corn grower will have a better chance
at the prizes.
The following are the resolutions
and which were adopted unanimous
ly:
