though small, is one of the features
of the hall. containing, as it does, a
plate of excellent Flathead county
grapes. one of peaches and a plate of
Sheldon pears conceded by compe-
tent judges to be the finest on eXhi-
Dition
The general result of the fruit ex-
hibit is to demonstrate in the strong
est possible manner just what this
favOrerd valley can do in the line of
Isolticuhure and but substantiates
the oft repeated assertion that Flat
head county is the best fruit produc-
ing section of the state. When one
stops to think that none of the or
chards from which specimens were
taken are but few years old, it
needs but a slight forecast of the fu-
ture to see this section of the state
assume it's rightfnl position at the
head of the fruit producing counties

| One regrettable feature of the fan
/ is the lamentably poor grain exhibit
made by the ranchers of the county
This department was expected tc
rank with the horticultural display
