The very best of fruit shown a.
the State Fair at Owensboro was ship
ped to Louisville after the exhibition
and placed in cold storage, to be SEN
to St. Louis next April for Kentucky's
horticultural exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. The Kentucky Exhibit Associa-
ton was able to get some very fine
specimens of apples and pears in thi:
way. Several of the county fairs dur
ing the fall were also used as a vehicle
for gathering excellent fruit. Mr.. w
A. Higgins. president of the South
Kentucky Fair Association, which held
its forty-sixth annual exhibition at
Glasgow in September, made arrange
ments during the show there for a
large number of apples from Barren
county.
Hon. E X. Renaker of Berry, in
Harrison county. a member Of the
Live Stock Exhibit Committee of the
Kentucky Exhibit Association, is taxi
ing deep interest in the live stock ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair next year.
This is especially true as TO jacks and
mules. He has asked that stalls be
reserved for the stock of both T. B.
Adams of Brighton and James M.
Terry of Cynthiana These two gentle
men will send thirty-five jacks and
jennets to st. Louis, to be exhibited
during the exposition. Mr.. Renaker
writes that other stock from his end
of the state will also be entered in the
competition.
John ]. Tully of Louisville, fam
Gus for his handmade fish nets, has
been invited by Mr.. Tarleton H. Bean,
chief Of the department of Fish and
Game at the Worlds Fair, to make a
special display of the product of his
factory in Louisville. Chief Bean
wants Mr.. Tully to make an exhibit
wherein much life will be displayed
that is. he wants him to make fish nets
in the space to be assigned him. Mr..
Tully is considering the matter and
will probably go to St. Louis and re-
main on the grounds throughout the
exposition.
"A large part Of Kentucky's hortl-
cultural space at the Louisiana Pnr-
chase Exposition will be filled with
fruit in glass: that is the smaller
fruits, such as plums, cherries and
berries, together with peaches. The
Horticultural Committee OF the Asso-
citation has furnished glass jars to all
who would promise to put up fruit ac-
cording to formulate offered. Among
those who have been most successful
in preserving specimens in solution
for this display is Mr.. G. w. Stroud of
Berry Ferry, in Livingston county.
Perhaps no finer corn from Ken
lucky will he displayed in the agri-
exhibit at the Worlds Fair
next year than that shown by Mr.
Robert J. Greer of Bloomfield. He has
gathered for the Kentucky Exhibit AS
ISOLATION several of his best speci-
mems of yellow corn, known as the
''Dugan," together with a number Of
white ears, known as the Greer"
variety. Five of these ears aggregate
nine pounds, one alone Weighing two
pounds. Three of them are over II
inches in length.
Editor &. A. Brasher of the Hop
kinsvilie Messenger has brought to
the attention of the Kentucky Exhibit
Association a lot of very valuable
relics in the possession of Mr.. w. S.
Bonn of Fruit Hill, in Christian coun-
ty. The collection includes a pair Of
Did buck-skin breeches, beaded; a pair
Of rubber boots worn a hundred years
ago; a commission of an officer in the
revolutionary War, and a flint-lock
life.
While Mr.. w. II. Giltner of Emil
hence is only a member of the Live
Stock Committee of the Kentucky Ex-
libit Association, he has taken deep
interest in other departments in which
Kentucky will make displays at the
Fair. This is especially true
II agriculture. He cultivated a half
lcre each of corn, wheat and rye es-
lecially for this exhibit, and will send
n the samples in their various stages.
The Boone county exhibit in Ken
ucks space at the Worlds Fair is be-
ng looked after by J. w. Kennedy of
Union P. o. He is securing samples
If all kinds of grain grown in the
county and has the assistance of a
lumber of well known farmers in his
,fforts.
Three cubes. showing the various
Ways of finishing the stone, one
inches, another inches and the third
o inches, have been sent to the Ken
lucky Exhibit Association from the
quarry of the McWilliams Construction

mineral display at the Worlds Fair
