The Idaho exhibit is good one, the
Judges have said that II Is the best
I'm the horticultural hall at the Weber
County fair The only attempt at de-
coration of the entire exhibit Is the OBJ
ject lesson in before and after irrigat-
ing. TO the right of the Payetto stalls

piece OF sage brush, some eight feet
In height to the left are a number of
apples, pears, ears OF corn and other
products strung on a piece of wire.
That is all The rest consists OF fruit
in boxes and upon dishes, each labeled
and kept neat and clean.

look out of the car windows watch the
sage brush go by In monotonous process
sion and think that II is one OF the
dreariest states In the Union That Is

valleys smiling with orchards that lie
back from the railroad. and they do
not stop off TO investigate The sight
OF apples that weigh In the neighbor-
hood OF 30 ounces each comes i'm the
nature Of revelation to them when
they enter the exhibition hall Here Il
is seen that Idaho grows everything
that her sister states do. and some
more. The exhibition Of some straw
berries created considerable comment
These are the second crop this season

Blue Lakes, William Holman also shows

Bietnghlmer large species with the
faint blush Of a Californian tomato on
it's rind that gives It the appearance
OF being wax. This is the only sample
of this apple In the hall The insane
