ly supply of paper from Minneapolis,
$50 pounds, is now $l.29 instead Of
$50 as was charged before the de-
cision of the courts gave the rail-
roads the right to charge what they
please. This is nearly a fifty per
cent raise, and while 41c a week on
this one item only amounts to $21.32
during the year, think what the raise
will mean to producers and those
who have to ship large quantities Of
stuff to the markets!

INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT s
WANTED FOR COUNTY EXHlBlT

With the State Fair only five weeks
of, interest in the exhibit to be made
there by Kandiyohi county has come
to the point where no time can be lost
in selecting some portions Of the
samples to be shown. AS will be seen
below, there is a possible score Of
100 to be made upon grains in sheafs
two inches thru at band, and it is
desirable that not less than the max
imum number Of varieties, thirty, be
complete. There is also possible
score of so for native grasses, and
this should be made to include ev-
cry variety that grows in the county.
A score Of 100 may be made on tame
grasses and clovers, in bundles three
inches at band, and it is high time
that these were taken care of. Like
wise there are 100 points to be made
on forage, such as sorghum, millets,
rape, fodder, corn peas and vetches
in straw. None Of these departments
must be allowed to fall short, and
anyone having samples Of either var
iety should save out q sample for
the exhibit. The complete scale of
points is given below. Supt. John
Ahlstrom has made arrangements so
that specimens intended for this ex-
hibit may be left with C. C. Selvig
At Wil:mar, F. P. Peterson of the At
water Garden at Atwater, Swenson
& Broberg at New London, and he
will also have someone ready to re-
ceive them at Raymond, Pennock and
Kandiyohi.
To correct a misunderstanding it
may be necessary to state that no in
dividual premiums are allowed by
the state on the collections making
up the county exhibits. Whatever
premiums are won will be on the ex-
hibit as whole. -.
1t is the intention to have the ex-
hibit brought back to Willmar com
plete and set up at the Street Fair
which occurs on the week following
so that everyone in the county may
see for themselves just what the
county exhibit was at the state fair
Owing to the general interest in
the county exhibits, there being nc
less than 80 counties competing
there will be no space in the Agricul-
tural Building for the celebrated
Kandiyohi Miniature Farm, which
the promoters have been busy at per.
fecting in detail, SO that those who
saw it at Willmar last year will
hardly recognize it. Secretary Simp'
son Of the State Fair has advertised
1t broadcast as one Of the features
Of the fair, and is very DESTROYS Of
seeing it at the fair, and has prom.
Used to arrange desirable place fo1
it in an annex building erected a.

building, and if this arrangement
proves satisfactory to those having
