County F.airs--Motley
People Interested

Articles of incorporation for the
Morris on County agricultural associa-
ton. having as :incorporatOrs a
number of. residents of the village OF
Motley, were filed with the register of
deeds last Friday. Commencing
January rs. 1911 the ASSOCIATION is
Incorporated for period of 30 years,
the purpose of the organization helng
the exnlblting each year. of the. agri-
cultural, stock-bl eeding, horticultural,
mining. mechanical, industrial and
other products and resources of the
county, and its principal place of
meeting IS at Motley.
one to membership to the organiza-
amount of liability.
The first officers of the association
are: NJ. NJ. Merrill. president; V.
Lockwood, vice president; G. Brown.
secretary and r. j. Haymaker,
treasurer. These officers and W. N.
Morey, e. A. Montgomery ard M. J.
Palmer, of Motley. l.. w. Bouck and
F. r. Logan of Royalton, M. Fl Mel.
son of Pillager aud r. Bergstrom Of
Rail Prairie form the first board of
directors.
The name of the new association
IS almost identical with the one which
is still IN existence, The Morrison
County Agricultural = society. which
incorporated August 25,' 1882 for q
term of thirty years. It is evident
that the Morrison County Agricultural
association was meant to take the
place of the above soclety. otherwise 1t
would not have incorporated. under a
name so similar to the other. The
society has been holding its annual
meetings, the last having been held
! the second Monday in January, the 9th.
we are told by one of the officers. C..
d. Auyer being elected president, VIM.
Hunter; secretary and 8. Trebby,
treasurer.
Three years ago a stock holder asked
the district court to declare the society
null and void on the ground that it
has not been holding any fairs or the
like, but at that time the court held
! that as long as the society held its an
nual meeting it would be in existence
until the thirty years had expired.
Trebby owns ali but IS of the shares
of the society.

 Of course The Star started the real noise about a Polk County Corn Club for boys. but it got its cue from A. E. Wear, the county demon stration agent, and he from H.

 FOR OUR CORN CLUB
Wants Everybody to Aid in Encourag ing Those Whose Hands the Fate of Arkansas Rests Good
 Words for A. E. Wear.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir: Before taking up the fruit question desire to add a few words of endorsement and encourag- ment to the proposed Boys Corn Club for Polk county, and while 1t is true we are little late in getting into this progressive movement there is ample time ahead of us to make great i'm provement in corn culture in this county. It has been on my mind sev- eral times to congratulate MT. A. E.. Wear on the good service he performed last year as demonstration agent for the Agricultural Department, but for some reason everytime put my pen to paper in writing my rambling ar ticles for The Star forgot to accord MT. Wear the honor which is due him. Although was not personally inter ested in the better farming proposi- tion last year l tried very hard to get some of the farmers of this community to plant and cultivate few acres of corn and cotton under Mir. Wears di- rections, but am sorry to say failed. fully realized the importance of such an enterprise to our farmers. and here and now want to pledge my hearty support to the Boys Corn Club propo- sition. would like to see few Old Mems Corn Clubs organized also, but the hope of Arkansas, the great future greatness of this great commonwealth does not lie in the hands of it's old men. We must look to it's young men and boys to write it's real history. So let us all help the along the Boys Corn Club project. and to encourage the boys to the greatest exertions, l would suggest that The Star open pre- mium books for the benefit of parties who wish to offer prizes to the con testants. Every township in the county should have corn club and the business men and citizens of the towns and townships should offer lib- eraI premiums to the boys making the best showing in growing corn. Then take the merchants of Mena. They could we'll afford to offer attract i've sweepstake premiums with the understanding that the corn club con tests would culminate in corn car nivaI at the county seat late in the fall, with some corn experts from otk- CT states to act as judges.
 What Polk county farmers need more than anything else is a thorough shaking up on the corn question. and
