Santa Rosa county has a most credit
able display, which is shown to ad-

home made wines, pecans, potatoes,

This exhibit is devoted almost ex-
to farm products, garden
products not being displayed in any
great abundance.
In the Arcadia display can be seen
some exceptionally fine hay which
created comment upon the part of
planters during the day. The i'm
mense runner of a Kudzu vine also at
tracted much attention, and as the
display occupied a central position
and is attTaCtively arranged it goes
a long way towards making of the
agricultural building complete dis
play of farm and garden products as
are grown in this section.
In the center Of the building and
dividing the Santa Rosa and Escam-
bia county exhibits are a hundred or
more individual exhibits of corn, pota-
toes, peanuts. cane, etc.
