The committee gave out the fol-
lowing
"This is the first contest of this
nature given under the auspices of
the Wausau Bankers and Merchants.
We hope to make it an annual affair
at which we. will have on exhibit
each year an increased amount of
corn and grain, so that
in number of years our county shall
become noted for its pure bred seeds"
The show of 1914 was certainly a
winner and now that this work has
been started, it will be an annual
affair and continue to grow each
year.
