makes very notable displ ay, having this
year taken the first premium for the lar
gest and best display of grains,
first premium for largest and best display
of vegetables, silver medal for five best
varieties of spring wheat. In 1879 this
county took one first premium and one
second premium; 1880, two first premiums;
1881 one first, one second and silver
medal.
March 8, 1872, Minnesota State Butter
and Cheese association, first premium for
fifty pounds the best dairy butter. This
record speaks volumes for this county
which has contributed so largely each year
to the railroad exhibit.
REDWOOD COUNTY.
The agricultural society, of this, county,
have taken through its officers a very deep
interest and a very active part in the ex-
hibition of the railroad land department.
Their individual display occupied two
thirds Of the west wing, and partook of
the same character as described i'll the
general review of the building. This cOun-
try is by no means, as may be supposed
by some, barren grasshopper region,
1t contains some of the choicest and most
fertile lands in the state, and offers splen-
did chances for the requirement of homes
and fortunes for the industrious poor.
The county carried three premiums for
| collections, which were Certainly very
| worthily bestowed. Their samples of wheat
and oats were excellent, while i'll corn they
| take the cake. Charles Porter, of
| Lamberton, sends a half dozen
samples of thoroughly ripe corn of
great perfection and excellence. E. Beade,
of Walnut Grove samples Of Beauty of
| Hebron potatoes that dug 400 bushels to
the acre. One sample of Red Chaff (blue
straw Canada wheat, which produced
eighty-four bushels from two bushels of
seed shown by T. FL. King, of Redwood
Falls, excited great comment. AS a whole,
the exhibit from this very fertile and pro-
ductive county has done wonders for it in
the way of advertising. Murray county
and the board OF trade of Sleepy Eye vii
lage each make a fine display.
The land grant lands OF this road, en-
bracing over 100000 acres unscld. are ex-
ceptionally rich and valuable One could
but note the difference between these lands
and those of the Red river valley as shown
by their exhibit of products
In this section. while the best
wheat in the world can be grown there can
also be produced to the utmost perfection
