EXHIBIT ROOM is FINE AD-
VERTISEMENT FOR COUNTY
Hundreds Visit it Daily-Displays
Attractively Arranged and
All Merit Mention.

While it would require too much
space to make mention of all the
plate exhibits in the exhibition room
in the Bank building, each is well
worthy of detailed comment.
In the apple class alone there are
between fifty and sixty varieties
shown.
Pears are to be seen in the diff
ferent varieties, from the small
sugar humps to the Royal Bartlett
and De Congress. A single pear,
grown by Mark Phoenix OF lwoer
Surface Greek, balanced the scales
at one and half pounds.
Peaches are in evidence. but of
course in less varieties. The more
classy exhibits are of Crawfords
and Elbertas, each showing magnif-
icent specimens, a single peach often
reaching a pound in weight.
There are the different varieties
of plums now in season and the
great silver and purple prunes, all
of which grow so abundantly in the
valley and mesa orchards.
There are four individual tables
loaded with exhibits especially at
tractive. These are from the orchards
of J. G. A Simpson. Edgar Wilkin-
son. Henry Hawker and T. A Haze
lett
In the garden and field exhibits
are mammoth sugar beets, ten and
twelve-pound maugel wortzels,
heads of cabbage weighing twelve
TO fourteen pounds and hard as
wood. huge water melons, classy
cantaloupes, fine potatoes. squash,
pumpkins. tomatoes, cucumbers. Gel
cry and other products. as well
as specimens OF wheat, oats, corn
and alfalfa that look TO be world
beaters.

pear as a part of the still greater
