Interest Is Great.

Interest in the corn show has prov
ed greater than the two Smiths an
ticipated and they are corresponding
ly happy. From one farmer to the
other these two corn evangelists move
and with boyish enthusiasm preach
the gospel of corn raising. Some Of
the big wheat farmers are skeptical
but this only serves to make the
Smiths more interested in impressing
their convictions
"In ten years corn will be your
leading crop in the Pacific northwest
ahead of your wheat-ahead OF
your alfalfa-ahead Of your fruit" is
just n specimen of the statements
Which c. L. Smith makes. And then
he goes on to say: You done believe
this but / know 1t. I lived through
the same period In Minnesota. I re-
member the time when wheat was the
only crop in Minnesota. when all
poo-hooed the idea Of raisig corn SO
far north. But last year, you may
know, Minnesota produced $4,000, 900
bushels Of corn, as against $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat"
