Mike - I am glad you posted about this, I am thinking the same thing. I
am glad you have contacted them and look forward to seeing if you find
it....
Another place to look might be the University of Missouri Columbia (the
transcription I am working on lists this as the big meeting place for
the Missouri Farmers convention), does anyone know if they still have a
separate Agricultural dept? Also the University library might have a
copy. Please let me know if you want me to try contacting these two
options or if you want to continue on a quest for this one. I would be
glad to help....
A while back I was requesting a book from the St. Louis Public Library
and they found a copy at the SMSU in Springfield MO.
