(Continued from first Dage)

perfect score of ten points.
Kennewick. Selah. Mckee and
Grandview each scored ten points for
size. In the matter of marking fruit
for blemishes, % points constituted
complete score, but none of the con-
testants scored perfect in this respect,
Selah coming within three points of
the possible. For color, Kennewick
scored perfect, with fifteen points.
Selah came next with 14k points,
Mckee, Zillah and Granger with four
Z teen each. In the matter of uniform

half point Of the possible ten points
for perfection Selah was next, scor-
ing nine, with Mckee, Granger and
Broadway eight points each, the others
ranging down to five. Kennewick

WAPATO VEGETABLES.
Although Wapato could not win
the main event. T. q. Brown, from
that city, won four tirsts on veg
etables, which was pretty good for
one man. His winnings were on
tomatoes, onions, Early Eureka po-
tatoes and sheaf of alfalfa.
Such district exhibits as these
unknown in the eastern states. Of |
course fruits afford a better article to
display than any other agricultural
product. Not only district cOmpetl |
ton but individual success is we'll
brought out by such exhibits as these. |
The manufacturing building was
given over to commercial exhibits
and goods mostly for the use Of fruit |
growers. The Charles I'll. Lilly Com
pany had good poultry exhibit. |
The Reynolds Electric Company |
showed how farmers might produce |
their own light.
The Womans building was given
over to fine arts, the needle, brush |
and the rolling PIN The culinary |
display was especially fine. Miss
LON bard was superintendent of the
department and took great pride in
showing distinguished visitors about,
or indeed, any one who seemed to
require her attention.
The anti Tuberculosis League had a |
small building in which moving
picture films illustrating health hints
and the fight against the white plague
thrown upon the canvass in an in
teresting and educational manner.
In small building by itself the
dairy and apiary exhibits were made.
Two thirds of the building was given
to the bee exhibit and the other third
to the butter and cheese. In the bee
department exhibitions were in con-
stanL attendance and found ready
sale in honey and wax in various
forms. One wonders why this COM
merclal feature could not be extended
to the butter and cheese department
also. 1t would seem that good butter
and cheese could find as ready sale as
good honey.
