cities, gathered al the Talmadge ranch
yesterday, the event being the sixth

farmers who are growing the crops.
The thorough name in which this
collecting of exhibition material is
being followed insures us the greatest
collection of agricultural and horttcul-
tural products that has ever been as
semb1ed by n railway.
THE very best and choicest sam
pies will be shown at the Minneapolis

seekers and investors will visit. Our
representatives are meeting with great
success, as the local people along the

the great benefits of the wide public
