varieties of apples is also made and
all kinds Of fruits. There is a sample
Of some peaches that were grated TO

beauties indeed. Hanson county's ex-
hibit is certainly an attractive one
and draws a great deal OF attention.
On the north side of the building
stands the exhibit of Brute county.
which is in charge OF o. G. Stewart.
He has a large variety Of corn. wheat.
and other grains that are raised
abundantly in that county, and they
are arranged 50 they are very attract

has a sample Of macironi wheat that
is being introduced in this country,
and it made a splendid growth in
his county. He has some speltz that
yielded 20 bushels per acre. There

There is an exceptionally fine exhibit

quality. The Brule exhibit stands
out strong in it's fine quality of grains,
grasses, and in fact all that is shown,

their friends when they were in town
Thursday.
The Greenhouse has a fine display
of palms, ferns and %auricarias, aside
from the beautiful cut f1owres that
are brought over from the green
house every day. So much green in
that part of the building is a pretty
relief from the county exhibits. The
Newburys have the largest greenhouse
in the state and there are few that
excel 1T in the northwest. The
plants and flowers are grown in fine
shape and ere strong and healthy.
Dawson county was allotted a small

things from the farm. 1t was Sc

acre. There is a fine display of

for Dawson county, and it is well
arranged and attractive.
Standing next to Dawson is the ex-
ibit of Sanborn county, which is
under the management Of II. G.
Warner, of Forestburg. Mr.. Warner
has got enough products in his ex-
hibit that would do for three or four
counties but everything is arranged
with the utmost care and it is a
positive delight to- look over the very
attractive exhibit that Mr.. Warner
has arranged. The cattle industry
has increased to a large extent and
corn has been grown more abund-
antly, and is Of better quality than
ever before. The corn produced there
is a very fine sample OF what
is grown in the corn belt region and
Mr.. Warner shows forty varieties of
corn grown in his county, the white
and yellow dent and legal tender be-
ing the best varieties for feeding
