The primary colors shown In the
rainbow vary from red to blue and
violet. and the vibrations or lengths
of the light waves that give us violet
grow shorter and shorter and at length
give us red. These vibrations can be
measured. One day, quite by chance.
| came across the statement that there
were innumerable light waves longer
than those which give violet. At once
the question sprang. Were these longer
waves represented by colors which we
don't see, color, for which we have no
name. colors of which we can form
no conception? And was the same
thing true of the waves which. grow
ing shorter and shorter. give US the
sensation of red? There is room. OF
course, for myriads of cOlOrs beyond
this other extremity Of our vision. A
little study convinced me that my
guess was right, for oil the cOiOrs
which we see are represented to our
sense of feeling in degrees Of heat:

A BIG SHOW.

Governor Eberhart of Minnesota has
an article in the Northwest Farm
stead of September 16, dealing with
the results to be obtained by exhibit
ing products of the soil at the North
western Land Show. The Governor
says the show will take hundreds of
people out of his own state into
states west of Minnesota; that there
will be one satisfaction, there people
will still be customers of the Mime
sofa markets and other people will
come in from states east to take the
place OF Minnesotans who are drawn
further westward. The Governor says
his experience has been that such ex-
hibits have brought thousands Of peo-
pie to his state and the coming show
must result in many new settlers and
investors for the states of the north
west.

THAT COUNTY AWARD.

Thursday mornings Huron Herald
said Much criticism has been made
over awarding the first premium to
Brookings county from the fact that
many of the products on exhibit from
that county were said TO have been
raised under the direction OF the
claimed that Kingsbury county was
Justly entitled to first money, both
for the artistic exhibit and the quality
of grain. Most states bar counties
where agricultural colleges are located
from participating in prize money"
The Huron papers and correspon-
dents of the dailies from that city
are apparently making a studied eff
fort to rob %Brookings county of some
of the honor of winning first prize,
and it certainly comes with poor
grace from the home OF the state fair.
The statement that part of the Brook
ings county exhibit was raised at or
under the direction of the college is
false, and can be easily proven as
such If the Huron newspaper men will
take the trouble to inquire. AS a
matter of fact the Brookings county
exhibit was secured in every part of
the county and the college had nothing
whatever to do with it. The Kings
bury county exhibit was a splendid
one, without doubt, and most beauti-
fully arranged. but artistic merit
counted for but ten points out of a
possible thousand. The Brookings
county exhibit scored heavily in quail
ity and u~niformness and while it
might not have been as pleasing to
the eye as the Kingsbury county show,
it was entitled to and received first
prize at the hands of the judges, who
were supposed to be and undoubtedly
were fully competent to judge. The eff
forts to belittle the Brookings county
exhibit will certainly not do Huron or
the state fair any good.

SOME MOISTURE.

We had an unusually heavy rain
Sunday afternoon, the moisture com.
ing down in torrents for about an
hour. This week the weather has
been clear and cool and very pleas
ant for the fair. There was a light
frost Monday night, but the corn is
now all out of the way. In fact the
frost served to harden and push it
along toward maturity. The corn
crop in Brookings county this year
is the best one We have ever had,
and in the opinion of Iowa and Hi
nois people it viii campare most
f~avorably with the corn yields in
those states. At Huron nrookings

Of anything shown. and there we're
some good displays from the counties
in the southeastern corner Of the
state, which Is supposed to be the
