year is evidenced by the many eXnlD-
its which have been entered for the
prizes offered for the best products in
the many classes at the Wapello Coun-
ty Farmers Institute. This years en-
tries eclipse all former exhibits and all
of the available space downstairs in
the Commercial college building is fill
ed with long tables loaded down with
Wapello count products. Much space
has been taken up by the corn exhibit
which is a big one and shows the
quality of corn grown in the county.
The exhibits contain many entries of
fine corn and the judges who will make
the awards in this class have no easy
problem on their hands. The apple
exhibit which is located in the south
east corner Of the big room contains
many fine specimens of the fruit. The
grain exhibit has been placed a few
feet north of the apple exhibit and
the table is covered with sacks Of
golden grain grown on the rich soil
of Wapello county. The potato ex-
hibit contains many big specimens of
the table vegetable.
The most prettily arranged and
most appetizing exhibit is that
which comes under the direction of
the Women's Department, and
is located in the southwest room on
the lower floor of the building. Here
are many entries of butter, big loaves
of fresh bread, delicious cookies and
cake and dishes of baked beans. The
judging of the various exhibits will
take place this afternoon and will
probably be completed by evening
