county agent ot Jack County pro-
moted a corn show to demonstrate
better corn and better methods of ,
raising it
The show was a failure with on- |
ly three entries and 20 attending, '
Someone made the lemark, "You !
can t teach an old dog new tricks." |
Marks said. "Next year I II try I

The next year he enrolled 3001 1
boys as co operators in a corn '
growing demonstration. The corn ;
show that fall drew more than
2,000 persons, including state and
