Description

This postcard features a color image of the Boys Club's corn exhibit that was shown at the 1912 Mississippi State Fair in Jackson, Mississippi. The exhibit features a sign along the top that reads "Prof C. A. Cobb. Supt. Boys Clubs" which appears to have used corn kernels to write the sign and make image of asterisks and other symbols. Rows of corn on the cob is displayed in a "u" shape along the wall and a sign above the back wall provides the statistics of corn production, average yield, and value of crops in Mississippi. The title of the card is printed along the lower right edge of the image. The back of the card is a reminder for the tenth annual Mississippi State Fair to be held in Jackson, Mississippi on October 28th, to November 7th, 1913.
