The exhibit OF cereals, tame and native
grasses. corn, potatoes and all other
vegetables was truly a wonder and
almost the entire exhibit has been
scheduled for a prominent place in the
Omaha Land show next month. Visitors
from many parts OF the state were
amazed at tho display Sheridan county
made in this the dryest year known in
the history of the county. It is quite
portable that no other county in the
state can make a finer general display
Of field products this year than that
shown at the Gordon fair.
Real estate men are jubilant at the dis
play made and the success attained in
this year of extreme drouth, by i'm

surprise even 70 farmers VINO produced
the goods, who have got more faith in
