THE WORK OF THE MISSOURI CORN GROWERS' ASSOCIA- 

 TION. 



(T. R. Douglass, Secretary.) 



The past year has been an unusually successful one for the 



Missouri Corn Growers' Association in spite 

 of the fact that unfavorable seasonal condi- 

 tions influenced the yield in certain sections. 

 The membership is increasing and practi- 

 cally every county in Missouri is now repre- 

 sented on our list of members. This year 

 Missouri produced approximately 250,000,- 

 000 bushels of corn with an average yield 

 of thirty-two bushels per acre. Certainly 

 the Missouri Corn Growers' Association can, 

 modestly claim partial credit for this in- 

 crease in yield per acre, as the annual exhi- 

 bition has served, in a measure, to instill 

 thoughts of better seed into the minds of 

 many farmers, and the annual meetings and the discussions of the 

 various phases of corn production have certainly helped to interest 

 many men in the greater possibilities of the corn crop.
