tho statement of L.. A. Huffman, in charge,
to be published, as follows:
MANY visitors to the State Fair az we'll
as some of the officers connected Herewith,
have inquired of mo whether the Indian
corn, tomatoes. pumpkins, tobacco, peppers,
ETC.. shown in the above exhibit, were
grown and matured at this early date by
starting the seeds in hot beds or by plant
ing in the open. in the ordinary way. In
Justice to the contributors to the display,
and in behalf of of the board of trade Of
Miles City, whom / represent, l beg leave to
state with the permission of the fair man
a0ement) that from personal knowledge
and observation, l can state that with the
exception possibly of part of the exhibit of
tomatoes. these products were planted,
grown and matured in the open air as other
field crops are made, by the use of no other
artificial means than irrigation and cult
walton.
