Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-10-07

There has been much rivalry
among the counties in preparing ana
maintaining their booths, not so mucn
to win the cash prizes hung up as to
show the visitor the products OF the
county to the best advantage.
None of the contestants knew ex'
actly how the booths were to be
Judged, but this made little d1tfer'
ence. It was realized that the pub
lie would do the judging and the
special Judge would simply award the
premiums on his individual opinion.
Professor Holden of Iowa scored
the booths and fixed the prizes.
It was decided to Judge tho booths
on points and the following percent
ages were fixed, Quantity, 80 points;
quality, IS points, and artistlc ar
, rangement, IS points.
The manner of judging the Dootns
adopted was the only fair test a1ter
all. for it comprehended the CHIEF
merit features as a whole. Eddy ana
Wells tied on quality and artistic
ARRANGEMENT, but Wells fell four
points short on quantity.
Towner county had great display
of grain and grasses, but fell down
on it's corn exhibit and on artistic
Arrangement. The casual observer
would have voted Towner county a
prize, but with the point system OF
Judging adopted of course she could
not win. In justice to other counties
it should be stated that they did not
compete for the prizes but made
their displays solely to demonstrate
their resources.
Next year the entries for the prize
money will include all the counties
and as a result visitors may expect
something in the way of displays
which will be worth travelling miles
to see.
