A COMMUNICATION
An article published in the Malheur
Knterpris,. of .lanuary I'ith, 1915, under
the heailmiof "Items From'ltig Mend "
places Hig Mend in a false light before
the re--t of the county.
When the I'oinona QfMft laid down
the rules of the Corn Carnival, one of
the rules was that each contestant must
-vlul.it two bushels of corn, the corn
thus exhibited to be donated to the
Orange, and to be sold to help defray
Mis- i "" expenses incurred l.y Hie contest
After awards wt re made the count)
bOOght Hie colli t,, . . xl,lt,t. .1 ,,t
the Walla Walla Com Show or when
ever they suw fit, the corn thus paaalng
out of its former ownership to be used
to Hilvertise the county and not any one
community,
The contestants knew before the
awards were made they did not have
the only corn in the anility and knew
still latter when another district had
live contestants with a yield of overPK)
bushel per aeie that there were other
places in the county that could raise
corn about as well as Mig Mend.
If the Walla Walla Corn Show would
bring-any settle" to Malheur County,
they would naturally inquire wnere the
eom was raised if that was what they
were after.
The contestants from Mitr Mend aaa
proud to lie aide to give to the county
