VEGETABLES, GRAIN, ETC.

Nothing finer could be grown any
where than the products displayed in
these departments-nothing had ever
been placed on exhibition at a Mile
Lacs county fair which surpassed or
even approached it. In all s. farmers
had displays in the agricultural de-
partment- there were between 400 and
500 single exhibits. Robert Clark,
Royal Berry and S. E. Dorm had fine
vegetable collections, G. A. Raiche
had eight single varieties, Mrs. G.
Lafebvre seven varieties, Albert
Noeske ten, Richard Mount six,
David Berry nine, S. E. Dorm nine,
while number of farmers had from
two to FIVE each. In all there were so
potato displays. Peter S. Skaaland
of Freer had the only tobacco exhibit
and it was of frst-class quality.
There were but five exhibits of
picking cucumbers, while the display
OF squashes, pumpkins, cabbage and
melons was excellent.
Fred Eggert was the winner of
Senator Swanson's premium of 1000
square feet of tiling for the best COL
lection of farm products, and he cer-
tainly had an excellent display con-
sisting of 39 varieties. There was
but one other competitor for this prize
20. Fl. Berry. Mr.. Berry had As
varieties on exhibition and the dis
play was indeed creditab]e one.
The judges very properly awarded
Mr.. Berry the red ribbon and the
association will make provisions for
a second prize for him.

year. Among the entries were
