Upon our arrival on the grounds at
ten o'clock, a. M, we found more
people than were ever present before
at any of our County Fairs, and the
weather simply magnificent,
The society is greatly in need of a
hall for the exhibition of grains,
flowers, seeds, fruits, Vegetables, &c.,
DC. We hope that the public spirit
OF the men Of Wapcllo County, will
provide against this necessity by tho
next meeting of our Society.
In the meantime, exhibitors, rs
heretofore, were compelled to crowd
their products on to one table which
is under the amphitheatre.
In this department the m ost
noticeable display which meets the
eye at first is magnificent specimens
of Iowa's golden tieece--corn, and
we venture the assertion that no
larger or finer exhibition of this
kind was ever before made in Iowa.
In wheat the Clapp boys and
Caleb Miller of Dahlonega Tp., pre-
sented some fine specimens, while
Charley Owens one of those poor
colored individuals who was to starve
out on account of being allowed to
own himself, has bag of white
wheat which don't look much like the
Industrial portion of the Freedmen
are intending to starve out to any
alarming extent.
The showing of Irish potatoes is
sufficient TO make the heart of an
lrishmam or any other man for that
matter, leap with joy. The finest
specimens are Early Rose. This
variety has established itself in the
confidence of producers and consum-
ers as the King of the Early Potato
tribe.
Motfet the Ottumwa Gardener has
a fine display of Sweet potatoes.
Yams, &c.
Col: Il. q. White takes tho crowd
in one stupendous squash which
weighs something over one hundred
pounds. Many other exhibitors in
this class have articles abundantly
worthy of note, but which our space
at this time precludes. US from men
tioning.
All that was necessary to make the
fruit, vegetable and grain show Of
the Wapello County Agricultural
Society an uncommon fine one, was
room enough Tor their proper dis
play.
Our peregrinations take us mex
into what may DO properly termed
tho fine art gallery. In this depart
ment the display is highly crcdi,able
