PALACE EXHIBIT
OF THIS COUNTY
EVERY FARMER SHOULD LEND
a HAND in MAKING THE EN-
HIRIT AT THE STATE FAIR
AND CORN PALACE
A SUCCESS.

Fcr several years past Dawson
county has made an exhibit at the
State Fair and Corn Palace. This
year is is planned to have a better
exhibit than ever before. The only
way that this can be brought about
it through the cooperation of all
farmers and gardeners in the county
who can give their assistance and
lend a hand in making this exhibit
just what it ought to be.
Early in the m Mr.. w. A.
Wheeler in his official capacity as
secretary of the Corn Palace commit
tee took the proposition up with the
county commissioners to secure an
appropriation for a county exhibit.
The state law provides that the
county commissioners may appropri-
ate a maximum of 5000 towards de-
fraylng the expenses OF putting on an
exhibit at the State Fair. The com
missioners of this county authorized
Mr.. Wheeler to so ahead with the ex-
hibit and set aside $500 for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Wheeler then employed the
services of Chester Ruth for the sum
mer to collect the material for max
ing the exhibit. Much of it has been
collected at the present time but
there are quite a number of things
that are still short to make the re-
CURED amount to cover the score
necessary for a complete exhibit.
Just now it is desired to enlist the
services of every loyal booster in the
county to assist in securing the very
best kind of products for his pur-
1 n Cn h / 4, +, IF f1o Statz Nat. -.
hibit has to be made on Thursday,
September 5th. This leaves only one
week from today to gather in all the
used in the exhibit. as these could not
be gathered before because of their
i~mmaturity or their perishable condi-
ton. This matter is right up to the
farmers and gardeners and could not
be left in the hands of any one per
son.
If any farmer has anything at all
that is suitable and desirable to en-
ter in it's exhibit just drop a postal
ard to ChesterNRuth, Mitchell, S. D..
and an effort will be made to secure
that product @for the exhibit. If pos.
sibleYtit would assist very materially
in the work,#if these things could be
brought in by the grower and left al
the Seed Company warehouse on the
Omaha track at Mitchell. They shoulG
be tagged with the name of the grow,
er, where grown, and the name OF
the variety. and where a certain mum.
Der of fruits or roots or what I'VE
part of the plant is shown is called
for in the State Fair score card, il
would be very desirable to call w
Mr.. Ruth and find out just wha'
number is needed in the exhibit be
fore bringing them in. This would
eXperiate matters very materially ant
would assist in raising the STANDARD
of the display.
The solicitors are particularly in
~terested at this time in securing nam
ed varieties of potatoes, both earl,
and late, choice threshed grain, ca
! corn and vegetables. The collector
> are shorter on some items than o,
{ others and if the growers will TAX
{ the matter up with them it will b
, very much appreciated.
l Now fellow farmers bet busy an
boost for Dawson county by givin
5 every possible assistance to those VIII
| are collecting and putting up the e,
g hibit for the State Fair and the Cor
S Palace.
