PART III 



Proceedings of the Seventh Annual Meeting of the 



Iowa Association of County and District Fair 



Managers, December 8th, 1914 



The meeting was called to order by President H. C. Leach of 

 Bloomfield, Iowa. 



Mr. H. C Leach, Chairman: Gentlemen: It is now time for 

 our meeting to come to order. I take great pleasure in calling to- 

 gether the seventh annual meeting of the Association of County 

 and District Fair Managers of Iowa. I have been in attendance 

 at the last six of them and have seen them growing in interest and 

 numbers. All of this we are glad to see. We had a good meeting 

 last year, and we hope to have a good meeting this afternoon. We 

 have a good program, and I wish to suggest that after each party 

 delivers his address or reads his paper, it will be open for discus- 

 sion and in the discussion each party taking part therein be as 

 brief as possible, talk to the point and remember when you arise 

 to give your name and address in order that our reporters may get 

 your remarks duly credited. 



Before beginning our regular printed program Prof. L. H. Pam- 

 mel of Ames will make us a short address on agriculture. 



SOME CORN DISEASES. 



PROF. L. H. PAMMEL, AMEiS. 



Prof. Pammel: Mr. President and Gentlemen: I don't know 

 if I invited myself to speak here. I have a little subject in which 

 I know that you are all interested, and that is the production of 

 the greatest com crops possible in the state. 



Now, I am not a corn specialist, but I believe you will be inter- 

 ested in the presence all over the state of a new disease, at least 

 this year, which has cut our corn crop very seriously in various 

 parts of the state. Not far from Ames it cut the corn crop about 

 25%. The purpose of my coming here is to call your attention
