The grains and grasses have Deen
tastefully arranged on the walls OF
Mr.. Davis office, and will do much
toward assuring strangers of the fer
tility of this section.
The only disappointing part OF the
collection is the almost total lack OF
entries from the irrigated tract.
Aberdeen, with its aboundant pos
sibilities. did not have single entry
The only grain from the irrigated
tract near American Falls was the
oats of S. B. Rowe. Unless the col
lection is later strengthened by good
samples. the irrigated tract will suf-
fer by comparison and the hundreds
of strangers who will be here before
the next crop season arrives are ike
ly to form conclusions which VIII no
be Just to the irrigated section.
