"A. n. Waters, Chas. S. Whiting,
G. HI. Tinkham and the writer went
to Lake Preston Tuesday forenoon for
the purpose of looking at the collec-

gathered together by j. HI. Lloyd for
our county exhibit at the state fair.
Mr.. Lloyd has been a busy man the
past few days and has gathered a fine
collections of grains and has it in
good shape for use in decorating and
exhibiting. No attempt at a collec
ton of vegetables has so far been made
The grain gathered will make a fine
exhibit as compared with any year,
For the most part it was secured ia
the vicinity of Lake Preston, although
some of the best wheat was taken
from A, N. Waters farm in the north.
east part of the city. Under Mr..
Lloyd's management we will have a
nice exhibit at the fair, che of which
we may be proud. In this connection
we might mention the fact that our
county commissioners should begin
now to arrange for the exhibit in 1911.
The party to have charge of it should
be appointed and an appropriation be
made SO that the superintendent could
secure the different varieties of seed
and put them in the hands of men
who would give the matter personal
attention. Under such an arrange
ment an exhibit could be made that
would better show what K~ingsbury
county is capable of doing.
