THE BLUE EARTH co. FAIR PREMIUM
LIST.

The dates for the Blue Earth county
fair are Sept. 18th, 18th and 14th next.
The premium list has just been print
ed by the News, Vernon Center, and is
now being circulated throughout the
county. The Blue Earth county fair
is on most prosperous basis and the
outlook for big fair next Septemb Der
is most promising. The premium list
is a most liberal one and ought to at
tract farmers from all over the county,
in all of their lines of produce and
stock. The management of the fair in
their prospectus for 1900 state that over
800 was paid out for permanent i'm
provements last year and that the good
work in this line will keep right along
until the grounds and buildings are
models in practical way. Last year
for the first time in the history of the
fair, the bulk of the premiums went
outside of Garden City township, indi
eating that the interest in the fair is
becoming more general through adjoin-
ing towns. This year the premium list
has been carefully revised, several new
classes have been added to the live
stock schedule and every feature has
been brought up to date.
Our farmers and all interested should
give the list their careful attention and
begin to lay their plans for the fair
next fall.
