The entire display of Placer county is a
most striking proof of what can be raised
in the foothills and mountain regions with
out irrigation. The quality of all the pro-
ducts is of the very finest order, and the
color and flavor of the fruits, together with
the remarkable size and the enduring quail
ity, which enables shipment to the most
remote Eastern markets, renders the ex-
hibit one of unusual interest 1t also illus
trates the fact that the products of her soil
in the future, not less than the yield of her
mines in the past, viii be most abundant
and golden.
