large premiums for agricultural exhib-
it's and in planning to make the prod
ucts Of the farms Of the state one Of
the most prominent departments in this
years exhibition. The agricultural ex-
hibit will prove to be a valuable and
instructive object lesson upon the mex
haustible fertility and productiveness
Of our soil and the wonderful variety
Of products continuously and profita-
bly, raised.
Special attention is being given to
county exhibits. In 1895 but $500 was
offered in premiums for these exhibits;
last year the amount was increased to
$70O, and this year $1,000 is offered.
Additional prominence is given to this
feature in order to individualize and
give special prominence to the prod
ucts of the different localities. IN this
way each county can present to visit
ors the resources and attractions be-
longing to it in manner imposing
and impressive. Lac qui Parle, Stew
ems, Grant and Isanti counties have al
ready spoken for space, and it is more
than probable that a considerable num-
Der of counties will improve the op-
portunity here afforded to make q
comprehensive and attractive showing
of products. Farm exhibits, for which
S1OO double the amount of year ago.

feature.
