For a Sam Jordan Day

Tne Capital has said before,
nd we here repeat, that we be-
nagr the farmers of The rate
Of Missouri are averaging maybe
a DusheI of corn 10 the acre more
because of the years of active
campaigning that Sam Jordan
has in teaching US how to select
the test seed corn, how tn tend
the corn after it is planted.
If that is true, then the worth
this man to his state has been
inestimable, and tits most fit
ing that Gentry county, the
> place of his birth, should, at a
: corn show, put on a Sam Jordan
Day, and render to his homely
but forceful and effective preach
o er of better farming some of the
/. homage which is his due.
So November 2lst at our Corn
Show it is to be known as Sam
Jordan Day, and it is hoped by
County agent Saunders and the
members of the committee to
make the day one in a measure
