The State college shipped a fine ex-
hibit to the state fair at Huron Mon
day. 1t consisted of grains and grass
es from the experiment station, fruits
and vegetables from the horticultural
department, and other products OF the
different departments. Probably the
most interesting part of the exhibit is
the display of fruits. most of which
were developed by Prof. Hansen in
the past three or four years. One Of
them is a plum, a cross between q
| Chinese plum and the wild native va
riety, which have proven highly sue
cessful during the past two years. No
stock vas taken to the fair this year
on account of the heavy expense, for
which no appropriation is made.
