The Agricultural Display.


ment was in fairly good shape yesterday.
although the display room was not entirely
full or the displays complete. This section
deservedly attracted a good deal of atten-
ton, not only from people who have had
experience in raising products. hut every
body who is at all interested in the agri
cultural development of the territory. 1t
is not too much to say that everybody
was surprised at the variety of the articles
shown.
Frank n. Isham made an individual
display in a tent Just outside of the main
building. 1t was arranged in the form of
an immense cornucopia, out of the wide
open mouth of which flowed an exhibit of
peaches, potatoes, apples, caulihower,
pumpkin, corn, canteloupe. muskmellon
and sheaves OF wheat. 1t is a notable and
creditable display.
Within the building the first exhibit
was that of the Snow Cattle company of
Horse creek, also made by Mr.. Isham.
This consists of four different stands piled
with a proiusion of articles. These in
cluded celery, radishes, potatoes in great
variety, oats, squash, parsnips, timothy
hay in sheaves and bales, peas, beans,
oats, white spring wheat, timothy seed,
turnips of monstrous size. beets, Hubbard
squash, immense potatoes. carrots, onions,
corn and a superb collection of native
grasses.
The Fo.t Russell exhibit is in charge of
Privates Rudolf and Rakowski. 1t is a
particularly tempting display. The cauli
flower is simply exquisite. They show
besides celery, cabbage, carrots, beets,
parsnips, onions, rutabagas, turnips,
squash and winter radishes.
G. L. Organ exhibits a small quantity
of potatoes grown on the uplands one
and a half miles from the city absolutely
without water. In addition he displays
some wheat which gave a very good idea
of what can readily be done under such
circumstances. This wheat will average
thirty-five bushels to the acre.
IuS LIduuST eAululL occupies a pecul'
iafly eligible situation and is very advan,
tageously displayed. Squash, beets, car
rots, cantelOupe, cabbage livery fine),
wheat and grasses are shown in a manner
to attract the attention of every passerby.
A beautiful sheave of barley raised by
Anton Willardson, at Granite Canyon,
1000 feet above the level of the sea, with
out irrigation, is deserving of special
mention, while two bushels of crab apples
picked in the garden In the rear of Judge
Carey's residence look extremely inviting.
Larry Fee, of Laramie, makes a small
but extremely beautiful exhibit of wheat
and barley.
Fronting the exhibit from Gordon &
Campbells Horse creek ranch is a fifty
pound pumpkin labeled Statehood 1890"
A striking feature of their show is three
exhibits o altalfa, representing three crops
which have been raised by them this year.
They also show two crops of red top clover
and a bunch of fax, partially hacked,
which is readily raised without irrigation
in this section as it is oftentimes found
growing wild. Cabbage heads are shown
weighing about twenty-five pounds,
mangel wurzels in enormous sizes, potatoes,
melons, canteloupes, rhubarbs as fine as
ever seen in the country and ripe early
flint corn. The display is very ~tastefully
arranged.
The exhibit is that OF the Wyoming
Development company, which displays a
collection of native grasses calculated to
surprise the natives. There Is also shown
a collection of tame Ia $, surprising in
extent and variety, and a corn stock
which towers almost beyond belief.
