FOLK FROM IOWA
GREATLY PLEASED
WITH VISIT In CITY
EARS OF CORN BROUGHT TO
KEY WEST DISPLAYED IN
WINDOW OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OFFICE

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 Com
merce 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. II
takes hot and humid nights for
such ears of corn, and hot and
humid nights are one of the
things which our bountiful sum-
n1ers fail to produce.
Few visitors have fallen more
deeply in love with Key West
than have Mr.. and Mrs. Mahanay,
who are continually putting of
their surgical and hospital supply
business in Jefferson City, while
they think up more words to ex-
press their enthusiasm over Key
West and, to quote Mr. Mahanay,
''its unequalled and matchless
climate, the quaint architecture.
reminiscent of many old seaports,
the ever changing marine seen
cry, abundant flowers and trees
which are truly tropical, acces-
sible historical forts and the
grand prelude to the city which
the never-to-be-forgotten Oversee
drive constitutes.
This being our fifth season in
Florida, he continued, land the
first to Key West, we are able to
appreciate this delightful freedom
from the welter of horse and dog
races, bingo parlors and the usual
run of artificial amuSementS and
their predatory horde of alien fol-
lowers, all working frantically to
keep the public from realizing
what the average resort lacks in
genuine and worthwhile things.
And you have one priceless quail
ity in Key West. and that is the
hearty hospitality of your citizens
of high and low degree
I'VE are only lending this corn" i.
Mr.. Mahanay concluded ct was
brought here to be given to the
State Experimental Station in the
Okeechobee district. The fact
that it came from a one hundred
acre field, which averaged yield
of sixty bushels to the acre. gives
it a very distinct value among
corn growers"
