CANYON COUNTY MADE
SPLENDID SHOWING
At SEED SHOW

Messrs. Tobias, Ireland, Gipson and
Winslow of Caldwell and L. L. YOUNG
of Nampa, who attended the pure
seed show at Twin Falls, express
themselves as we'll pleased with the
exhibits, the awards captured bv the
Boise Valley and particularly the
Canyon county part, and the good
the annual seed show is doing. These
gentlemen are convinced that great
good would accrue to the farmers
here, if the next seed show and con-
vention were held in Canyon county.
When seen by representative of
The Tribune Saturday morning, Mr..
Tobias expressed himself enthusiast
tically over the results of the show.
He together with other representa-
tive Canyon county farmers will put
forth strenuous effort to have the
next show held in a Canyon county
town. He thinks that the benefits
which would come to the farmers
here would great deal more than
offset any cost. The farmers on the
Twin Falls tract have been greatly
benefited. He stated that while the
seed show had its origin in Cald-
we'll and the first convention was held
in this city it has grown to its pres
Gil SlLC anu ullllCllSlOHS uul ing llG
past four years and the last four meet
ings have heen held in southeastern
Idaho. AS result the people here
hardly realize the importance of the
annual meeting.
While at Twin Falls, Mr.. Tobias
met with a very painful accident A
box of exhibits belonging to Tom
Allen of Meridian fell on his hand
