HONOR FOR CASCADE COUNTY
Wins First Prize for Its Exhibit at the
Montana State Fair.


The following is from the Helena
Independent: ''In no other way than
by state exhibit such as is afforded
by the state fair could the public at
large begin to realize what Montana is
capable of producing. Fruits, vege-
tables, grains and melons are there in
almost endless variety and all are
equal to the best produced in any
state in the union.
cascade county presents an exhibit
that is hard to equal and cannot be
surpassed in many respects. The eX
hibit is entered in the James j. Hill
dryfarm competition. and has been
awarded first prize. Grain is shown in
bundles and there is clean grain for
the inspection of everyone. melons,
vegetables of all kinds, fax, wheat,
oats and barley. The entire exhibit
from Cascade was made by 100 sepa-
rate and distinct farmers from differ
ent parts of the county and shows
conclusively what Cascade county is
capable of producing. Some celery
shown is fully three feet high and of
excellent quality. Cascade is certainly
one Of the banner counties of the
state. 1t produces not only agricul-
tural products of all kinds and descrip.
tions, but has also coal deposits and
water power development at Great
Falls that is not surpassed anywhere
in the world"
The Boyle Land Company of Man
kato owns 1000 acres of Cascade
county land and the local directors are
highly pleased over the showing made
at the Montana state fair.

two headed pig that was born on
his farm yesterday. He thought by
the way that it walked that it was
crippled and killed it, but upon look

that it had two fully developed heads
growing out of one neck, with four
