District 43. The following ia my
report on the Benton County School
Fair: The seeds were distributed
among the pupils, each pupil choos-
| ing the seeds he wished to plant
The boys choosing the vegetable
eeeds while the girls choose mostly
| flower seeds. Mu b interest has
been shown in the work and if con-
ditions are favorable I think their
display will be a c1editable one,
considering the size Of the school
and the age of the pupils.
Much encouragement has been
given the pupils both at school and
at home, and l think the interest
will be stimulated by the parents
;; during the summer as they have
shown much interest in the work.
The school msy not have full ex.
hibit, but expects to make q good
showing in individual work.
