varities of products have been added
including butter and other dairy pro-
ducts. The display of cookery IS
larger, and the showing of vegetables
and melons is superior to that OF last
year. >.
"Any decrease in the quantity OF
exhibits, or number OF districts
exhibiting, is perhaps due to the fruit
crop not being harvested and to the
incIement weather. The exhibits, how
ever. are almost without exception
better types than those shown last
wear. This is the most important
feature of all, as it proves that the
children are making improvement
along scicntiffclines, and demonstrates
that these annual exhibitions are
having the effect desired.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS shown
marked skill in management, and the
success Of the Fair is due in a very
large measure to his intelligent
direction and untiring energy. The
various committees are also entitled to
great praise, as they haYe lent invalu-
able assistance at very busy season
of the year.
Summing it all up concluded Mr..
Starr, ''the exhibit was one Of which
every citizen of Polk county has a
right to be proud. The display of
agricultural products was as good as
any shown at the recent State Fair.
Had it been possible to have shown
the cream of this exhibit at Salem,
Polk county would have easily won
the first prize"
