Cora Club Boys.
The Reporter trusts that all
the members of the Milan
County Boys Corn Club have
already responded to Loqu
Agent Banzhaf’s request that
they prepare an exhibit for th.
Dallas and Waco Fairs. We are
not informed as to how many
have responded, but feel sure
that a large number have done
so. Our boys are progressive
and recognize the value of such
an exhibit.
Mr. Banzhaf tells us that he
will try and see that Milam
county is also represented at the
National Corn Show at Dallas in
February. This is the biggest
corn show in the world and he
thinks his boys can win some of
the honors. Just think, boys,
what an honor a National Corn
Show blue ribbon is! Get busy
and capture one.
Remember to leave your ten-
ear exhibit at the designated
place by Oct. 11. Mr. Banzhaf
Best price one year ago..................11.12 1-2
Receipts the past week have been exceedingly light. Only one
fair day has been had, and cotton picking has been brought to an
abrupt halt, while marketing has fallen off to almost nothing. The
heavy rains and continued wet weather has wrought much dam-
age; just what the damage will amount to no one can tell, but it
is undoubtedly heavy. This is the worst gathering season the
county has known in many years.
k The price went up last Saturday and has ruled above 14c ever
since. It looks good to go even higher.
