Everything in the agricultural
department Was above the average
and of q grade seldom seen. Their
apples, pears. and peaches are mons
tiers. and unlike those OF other places
that lose their good favor with size,
these are beth big and good. And .
visit to their orchards will satisfy the
most skeptical that they did not have
TO hunt In them to find the samples
exhibited, but that the greater part of
their fruit are OF that size and flavor.
The premium corn stood sixteen feet
high and had on each stalk Swo and
three fourteen inch ears that one man
standing on snother's shoulders could
scarcely reach. The wheat was given
. fair test, the measures being struck,
yet they went above the average in
weight. Their onions were elk Inches
In diameter and as finely favored as
ever grown.
Potatoes on exhibition that IL was
plain to see we're not forced were
eight inches long and Of good proper
tion In size. Every article on exhibit
tion In these depar tments had SUI
dcient quantity there to prove that
den tthas happened only to oae or swo
OF EN-.
The dairy exhibit consisted of cheese
and butter and each of these was of the
very best; cheese especially deserves
mention for It was cream cheese OF an
appearance and flavor superior to sny
the writer ever cav and tasted. There
Was also some home made candy on ex-
hi oision, as iue . lot of cream bon bons
md other fine assorted candies as can
be found anywhere. Elmer johnson,
candy, and Joseph Turley, Colonia |
Juarez, took second. Misses Myrtle |
Hatch and Nellie Turley Of the colony,
took firstand second premiums respect
lvely on jelly.
An interesting exhibit was that Of
honey bees belonging to Brigham
Whipple of the colony. They were go
arranged that the bees could be seen
II their labor and the case was labeled
- Business Department..
The nne arts department was an
sye-opener for visitors. 1t showed
that the colony not only possessed .
wonderful amount of art talent but |
that IL was oultivating it from the
very FIRST school days. There we're
inc oil paintings by boys and girls OF
rom ten TO fifteen years of age and |
hey would put TO shame some grown |
people who make q big buster about
being ar tists. There were exhibits of |
Inc needle work by children as young
cabinet work by boys of from
even TO twelve years and relief maps
a putty and artistically colored, the
work. of children from ten years up.
These exhibits show that every pupil
. give6 . practical education from the
,eginninR and when their education Is
omplesed they will know from prac-
Ice ss we'll ~ theory that the things
aughs them are true. And in this
ray they will each be prepared to
make their way independently In she
1orld. The system of educating she
hildren that these people use is
TOrthy the emulation of every people
u the globe.
As result Of shis practical educs-
Ion the colony Is now aim 1st iadepen-
emit of the GU tside world. They have
heir own tsnuery and footwear fact
~ and the exhibits from these showsd
hat they have no superiors. They al
o have their own harness factory and

Ial benefit to the colony.
The 6ne stock exhibit consisted en-
rely of home stock and contained
of several breeds In cat
. and horses and the contest was part
'ipated in with good humor and jocul-
rity, no one seeming to feel any CHA
rin or ill-feeliug az the decisions. The
