In Colorado.

IN COlOrauOs
The most interesting features of tn,
Fruit Day season this year was ths
State Fruit Exhibit brought here undel
the auspices of the State Board of Hor-
ticulture A number of the best fruit
counties in the state have large exhibits
and with the large Fremont county
display, it is probably the finest collec
tion of fruits ever seen in CaAon City
If not in the state. The fruit was very
nicely displayed on long tables in the
new Arthur building, which proved a
very suitable place. c. w. Burrage
ably performed the office of local super-
intendent, assisted by several Of CAT
on's fruit growers. 1t is gratifying in
deed 10 note that Fremont county took
first premium in the county exhibits
and that many OF the individual prem
iums came to Canon residents.
