above, Custer county has sent some ex.
cellent samplts of the sort OF wool her
sheep produce. There are four fleeces
from Renner Bros. Of Terry Two fieeces
from A. M. Cree of Miles. as fine ~
grown in any county, The clip weighs
twenty. four pounds, Ia otf two~year-
old buck, Dickinson delaine, bred at
Canton, Ohio. A. Laney Of Miles
City, also shows one fleece of the same
grade. The wool will be given to
Secretary Ramsey and will be a part
OF Montana's exhibit at thu Worlds
Fair.
In the agricultural department
there are also two other displays of
vegetables grown In the vicinity OF
Helena. These are nice aud fresh
looking and show that al good vegeta-
bles can he raised near this city az any
where tn the state. If the farmers of
Lewis and Clarke took half the inter-
est III the Montana state fair those of
Custer county do, they would reap
some of the advantages that thu resi~
dents Of Custer will.
