sweethearts had been awarded the palm
for The best display of citrus fruits in the
Northern and Central California building.
The good people of Butte County had in

they are glad they didn't. The celebration
came off unofficially last might, and every
grower in Butte was supremeIy happy.
Two score of guests were luncheG by the
officials of the Northern Citrus Assoca-
at the '49 mining camp. Afterward the
party returned to the big building where
the wonderful products of the northern
citrus belt are displayed and where many
others had already assembled.
The attendance was much larger than
at the opening of the building. Fruit
growers were present in large numbers
from every county represented. The gall
lerles we're crowded and there were many
on the foo of the building. The various
exhibitors agreed, before the announce
ment of premiums, that they would main
tain the standard of their displays during
the continuance of the Northern Citrus
Fair, which will last for twenty days
more.
