To shorten trains at fast speed. Chambers contends. would increase difficulties on the road by reason of a greater number of trains. He suggests that the growers ean help the situation by re duclne delays at destination to minimum. Chambers admits that a discontinuance or diversion of cars in transit would avoid some delay but hesitates to take this up at pres ent.

Mr. Chapin also said the exhibit at the state fair will also be of more than usual interest, although most of the corn will come from eastern and southern parts of the state, the Marion county crop always being too late to put the best at the state show. This tardiness of the crops has always been tne premier reason for the December county exhibit.
