" Fair Best Ever Shown in the
Valley.
The Lamar people who walk throat
the room, at the fair grounds, which
contains the Agricultural exhibit, nea
IL Always have expressions Of sur
prise to offer. The reason for this
that after they have heard what
bad year this was and whatpoor crop
We were going To ave, and whea.ae,
see this big exhibit there is reason
for their EXPLANATIONS.
The contest that is on between the
rival farming countries, Big Bend ano
May Valley, Is the leading cause for
this big Agricultural display, which
IL pronounced by experts the grand
est exhibit ever made in Prowers cou
ty. These experts say that taking
everything displayed and comparing
it with that OF former years tn this
year Is nearly always ahead. one
thing Is certain the fair assocla-
the best, for thepeoplein Big Bend
and May Valley take a great interest
In getting ahead of each otheer and
bsfore when 1t was just the premium
they would not go to the trouble oil
bringing in their best. The yegeta-
BILE display. as was expected, Is the
beat ever. for this has been u good
year for them.
The fruit exhibit is also a big sur
prise as it was generally supposed by
the town people that the frosts had
killed every bit Of fruit.
The Japanese and Greeks also have
some exhibits of their native plants
that they have grown here, and you
can easily see that they are some
thing new in this country by tle ma
nv questions asked by those inter
estsd.
Not only is this exhibit said TO be
the best ever shown in Lamar but
also the best ever shown in the val
Icy, and 1t really can't be beat any
whore, The superintendent challen-
ges any country to show better. Men
from Illinois, Missouri, and other east
srn states say that they have never
seen this agricultural display equaled
The superintendent of this depart
ment requests US to say that this
display never cost the association
in addition to the pre-
that will be paid.
