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

Fer 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 a give their assistance and
lend d hand in making this exhibit
Just what it ought to be.
Early in the summer 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
mlssioners of this county authorized
Mr.. Wheeler to go ahead with the ex-
hlblt 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 maxi
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 v 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 this pur-
pose. Shipment of the State Fair eX-
hibit has to be made on Thursday,
September 5th. This leaves only one
week from today to gather in all the
vegetables and corn that are to be
used in the exhibit, as these could not
be gathered before because of their
immaturity 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> flor the exhibit. If pos
siblsyFit Would assist very materially
in theswork. il these things could be
brought in by the grower and left at
the Seed Company warehouse on the
Omaha track at Mitchell. They should
be tagged with the name of the grow
er, where grown, and the name OF
the variety, and where a certain num-
Der of fruits or roots or what ever
part of the plant is shown is called
for in the State Fair score card, it
would be very desirable to call uI
Mr.. Ruth and find out just what
number is needed in the exhibit be.
fore bringing them in. This woulo
%experiate matters very materially and
would assist in raising the standard
of the display.
The solicitors r particularly in.
terested at this time in securing nam
ed varieties of potatoes, both earl,
and late, choice. threshed grain, cal
corn and vegetables. The collector.
are shorter on some items than OF
others and if the growers will taxi
the matter up with them it will b.
very much appreciated.
Now fellow farmers bet busy an,
boost for Dawson county by givini
every possible assistance to those VIII
are collecting and putting up the ex
hibit for the State Fair and the Cor
Palace.
