THE WORK OF THE MISSOURI CORN GROWERS' 



ASSOCIATION. 



(T. R. Douglass.) 



The annual meeting of the Missouri Corn Growers' Asso- 

 ciation was held in Columbia during 

 Farmers' Week, January 12 to 16, 1914. 

 The annual corn show was held in con- 

 nection with this meeting and was in 

 many respects by far the most successful 

 exhibition held by the association. The 

 attendance at the show was larger by 

 several hundred than it had ever been. 

 The interest was also far greater, as all 

 visitors were curious to know just what 

 Missouri corn and small grain growers 

 could produce in such an unfavorable 

 season as 1913. And lastly, the number 

 and quality of exhibits far exceeded those 

 of any other year. In 1912 the high water mark was reached in 

 the number of entries at the show, over 500 separate exhibits
