A CREDITABLE DIsPLAY.-The Fallston
| Farmers Club deserves unstinted praise for
its large and beautifully arranged exhibit OF
farm products at our county fair. As dis
| play of the varied resources and capabilities
of Hartford county farms it has never been
eaualled The arrangement of the various
articles is due to the artistic taste and skill Of
Mr.. William NJ. Edelin,.
The interest shown in this fine display Of
our county's products has suggested move
ment to induce the Agricultural Society di-
rectors to give more attention to this depart
meut of the fair, next year, by offering SUBJ
stantial premiums. For instance, it is pro-
| posed to offer a premium Of 5000 for the bett
display of agricultural products by farmers
club or other farmers organization, and $lCO
for the best display from farm. In each
case the requirement for entry being a
payment OF 10 ten per cent. of the amount
of premium offered. 1t is believed that
the entries would be sufficient, as in the
case of most of the races, to pay the premiums.
| If the entire space now allotted to agricul-
| tural products were filed in the manner sug-
gested, interest in the fair would be largely
increased and its usefulness greatly promoted.
| OF course this would in no wise interfere with
individual displays competing for the usual
premiums.
