Grain and Grasses,

varieties of grasses, which have been
plucked from the several portions of the
county, and has examined them, care
fully and closely, one has no idea of the
surprising number of them which are
grown in the county. And if anyone
desires to learn, from actual observation,
of their number, let HIM visit the cold
storage building, and inspect the collec-
ton which has been gathered. Ever
since MI. Marshall was appointed by
Manager Dickey to look after the inter
ests Of Burleigh county in the exhibit
line, he has been steadily engaged in his
work of gathering samples of grains and
grasses, and preparing them for exhibit,
and the result of his work is truly sur
prising.
It is impossible to state the exact
number of varieties. Mr.. Marshall,
himself, is unable to state this. Two
tables, twenty feet by forty feet are
covered closely with specimens. Another
table, of the same size has been placed
beneath these, and this is being rapidly
covered. The walls, also, are hung
with grains, grasses, vines, and vegeta-
ton of all descriptions.
The samples of wild timothy, blue
joint and red top are as fine if not better
than have ever been sent from this Sec
ton before. Some excellent specimens
of wild hops, grape and vines of all kinds
have been procured.
The notice which appeared in the
TRIBUNE of a day or so ago a been
productive of results, it having been
discovered that tobacco is grown in at
least two places in the county, P. P.
Jendren having some of the weed, and
Thos. Asbridge cultivating about 100
plants. These gentlemen have ex-
pressed a willingness to contribute as
much of this as is wanted for exhibit
ton.
Farmer Wallace, in company with Mr..
Marshall visited the place where the
samples are kept, Thursday, and ex-
amined them. In the opinion Of Mr..
Wallace-and his opinion on matters of
this kind is as reliable as that of any
one in the state-the specimens are, all
curing nicely, and will be in the best of
condition, when the time comes to ex-
hibit them.
