County corn breeding event with community games and prizes
A county program promotes a corn variety as county standard. It calls for a public display, a half-tone photograph, and a mass effort to identify and breed better ears. The plan includes schoolhouse meetings, a corn husking contest, stringing ears, a country dance, and a $4 to $5 budget with light refreshments.
