It is now generally realized that Springfield is tho second city in the world In tho manufacture, of farming Implements, being second only to Chicago. Sixty per cent of all the farm machinery manufactured in Ohio Is made in Springfield, where seventeen busy factories turn out the enormous product. In the exhibition in connection with the State Corn Shbw each of there manufacturers will be repre­ sented, Not only -the lines of ma­ chinery familiar on the farms of the middle west will be shown, but also many Queer machines made for the foreign trade will he on exhibition, Springfield’s products go to all parts IT HASDONEMUCH FORTHECORNCROP OhioCornImprovementAssocia­ tion HasHadUseful Carer.

There were a ' number of .halls Which, would d6, bill none of them met ‘ the expansive ideas of president ar." S„, Kelly and the other men prominent In the Commercial Club, It was their Idea from- the , first to combine the corn show with an industrial exposition,.the like of which has .hot been‘seen, there and .Which will be of far more than or- -dinary significance oping to Spring- field’s place in the implement world. , It took but a few days of work on the part of the Springfield men to secure the Tabernacle building, used for the six weeks* evangelistic cam­ paign by .Billy „ Sunday. This ener­ getic movement has received the. greatest possible encouragement from the manufacturers of Springfield, Who have shown great alacrity in' taking space for an exhibit, The impor­ tance of this industrial exhibition behomqs apparent when it Is realized that Springfield manufactures every Implement used on the farm, except only the breaking plow and farm wagon. It was foremost in the early history of the reaper. The great names of Whltcley, Warder, Kelly, . Glessnef, Bushnell and Bauer, known throughout the agricultural world, * C. D.

In addition to the implement man­ ufacturers who wifi have' exhibits at the show, there will be-in the neigh­ borhood of 175 Springfield manufac­ turers who will have their products on exhibition. Power" will be fur­ nished, and not .only will much of the machinery be shown 1n operation hut many qt the processes used In the factories will be demonstrated and the actual operation of manufac-' ture be shown. No other city in the United States, except'Chicago, could prodU.ce an exhibit of as great an educational value to the farmer: Among the numerous inquiries com­ ing to Springfield with reference to the com show, a large proportion ask questions about the industrial exhibit and in other ways indicate the 'great interest ‘ that exists about the state In this feature of the big exposition. ITS OWN PLANT. An- electric plant, Installed and operated by a Springfield •concern, will be Used, to furnish light and power for the" State Cora Show and- the Industrial Exposition to be" held at Springfield Jan. 16*20. • The installation will consist of huge gas engines and motors, all built in Springfield. Such an instal­ lation is being manufactured In great numbers now, and the plant will form one of the interesting exhibits at the Corn Show. Electric lighting and power for the farm will he one o f the interesting things demonstrated at the exhibit at the exhibition. In June, 1907, a committee was ap­ pointed by, the Ohio Plant Breeders' association for the purpose of sub­ mitting plans looking to the organ­ ization of a State Cora Improvement, association, As a result of this ac­ tion a meeting was called for Jan. 15, 1908, to which 160 delegates to - .sppnded, and the organization was effected, A second meeting was held la connection with a Corn Show 'In Townshend Hall, Ohio State Univer­ sity, Columbus, Q,, Nov. 23-26, 1908. Local associations were organized in oyer 50 counties during the first year after organization. This rapid growth was largely due to the untiring ef­ forts of the secretary, Mr, L. H, God­ dard of Wooster, O. ' The motto of the association, “More Bushels of Marketable Corn Per Acre,” has ever been kept in the foreground as a spur to greater ef­ forts along the line of corn improve­ ment. The corn variety test was in­ augurated as one of the means ol In­ creasing the yield. Nearly every lo­ cal association in- the state has tak­ en up this work, and spme very val­ uable results have been obtained. Some have gone still farther and have conducted eapto-the-row teats, followed by the breeding plot, or seed corn plot. It would he difficult to estimate the value of these tests in dollars and cents, but there Is every evidence, that a great, interest has been created in the matter cf corn Improvement. Three annual Corn Shows have been held since the organization was effected. The, first, as mentioned 1above, was held in Townshend Hall, Ohio State University, Nov. 23-25, 1908.' This was considered a great success from' every point of view. The second one was held in the Laz­ arus Block, Columbus, .O., Jan, ■IQ and 11, in 1910- The Ohio Horticul­ tural Society was .held In connection with the National Com Exposition at the Ohio, State Pair grounds: Colum­ bus, O., Jan. 30 to Feb, II, 1011. The fourth Ohio Corn ;Sbow, .which will be held in tho Tabernacle build­ ing, Springfield, O., Jan, 16-23. prom­ ises to be one of unusual interest. The Kinnane-Sullivan Show, which closes on Jan. 10, will undoubtedly give impetus to the State Cora Show, as many c f the exhibits will be passed on from their show to the State Show, The meetings of the as* sociatidiv,Jan.. 18 and: 19, will be profitable1 to all who may attend, as' Speakers of national repute have been -Secured for the occasion. : The present officers of the associa­ tion are; President, W.
