In the palmy days OF West Lawn
farm, it was not an uncommon thing
for Mapleton to be represented at the
state fair and to bring back a goodly
number of blue ribbons, but of late
years the showing from this section
has been light, says The Mapleton
Enterprise This year, however, will
be an exception to the rule and if
Mapleton does not show up well in the
Clydesdale department it will be
through no fault of George Lang of
Meadow Brook farm, who expects to
leave here next Saturday with fourteen
choice Clydesdales. Among the ami
mails to be entered will be: Derwent
Merry Lad 9O34 (23232); Caladonian
|92l2 Q07l0) Ben Bolt 1852 st. Giles
lOS33; Moncriffe l26l6 (l3l0O; Lula
May 1922; June Rose 917S; Star
Light l24l5; Violet l24l6; Handsome
Molly 1879; Caladonian Second 1877;
Commodore; Rock; Teddy, the latter
foaled July % of this year.
The Clydesdale is distinetively al
Scotch animal and it is well that this
community should make showing of
this well known breed of draft horses.
Mr.. Lang in addition to raising
Clydesdales also handles Percherons,
Shetland ponies and Shorthorn cattle.
When asked if he would make an eX
hibit at the NIankato fair Mr.. Lang
replied that it would depend on cir
cumstances. Last year he had difficulty
in securing proper rates to Mankato
and unless he is guaranteed proper
protection in that regard the animals
will be returned to Mapleton at the
close of the state exhibit.
