letters in reply to those he sent to
friends IN other parts of the coun-
try, and the first of these was
from DR.. R L Barnett, of At
lanfic. Iowa.
! In il DR.. Barnett gave thanks
for the paper and booklet sent by
Mr.. Mahanay. expressing the de-
sire to spend a few days in this
delightful climate and among
such wholesome surroundings.
One of the first things MIR. Ma
hanay did when he came 10 Key
West was to display some corn
in the windows of the Chamber
of Commerce, which had been
grown in his vicinity. and which
he had promised the State Tx
perimental Station in the Okee-
chobee district.
The Citizen, commenting on the
display of corn. wrote an article
which was copied in a periodical
in jefferson. Iowa. as follows:
From the southernmost town
and southernmost newspaper in
the United States comes the fol-
lowing news item which viii be
of interest to local readers:
Key West Citizen: All the
way from Iowa are the ears of
corn brought IN to Key West by
a genial visitor. W. T. Mahanay.
and displayed IN the window of
the Chamber Of Commerce office.
which is fair enough. The Iowans
can't grow soursops and Key
Westers can't grow corn like that,
il is shown
And for a very good reason IT
takes hot and humid nights for
such ears of corn. and hot and
humid nights are one of the
things which our bountiful sum-
mers fail to produce.
We are only lending this
corn. Mr.. Mahanay stated. IT
was brought here to be given to
the State Experimental Station in
the Okeechobee district. The fact
that it came down from a one
hundred-acre field, which averag-
ed a yield of so bushels to the
acre, gives it very distinct value
among corn growers"
When the above appeared. Mr..
Mahanay purchased Us copies of
The Citizen and sent them to his
friends throughout the country
and would have purchased other
copies had they been available.
