International National Corn Exposition proposed for New York
The National Corn Association weighs moving the 1912 show from Columbus Ohio to Madison Square Garden New York to create an international exposition. Officials note Columbus facilities are excellent but a New York venue could attract delegates from every country, boosting agriculture education and world reach. The plan follows rapid growth and scope expansion beyond corn to all grains and grasses. The fourth annual exhibit runs January 36 to February 11 in Columbus with space at risk as demand outstrips capacity. The “Betterment of Agriculture” motive drives global interest and government involvement. The Virginia tax dispute over foreign publishers linking contracts to state business also colors ongoing conference discussions.
