CHOUTEAU COUNTY FAIR.
Display Of Farm Products viii Be
Made September 1914.

Every resident of Chouteau county
should have a personal interest In the
county fair to be held in this city
September ID and IA. Every farmer
is urged to contribute to the success
of the fair-and to his own reputation
as q successful farmer-by entering
some of his products in competition
with the exhibits made by his neigh.
bors. The citizens OF Fort Benton
propose to do their share toward max.
ing the fair q creditable institution by
providing the necessary accommoda.
tions and entertainment for the occa-
sion.
County fairs are the farmers shows
and it Is we'll for the farmers to make
them the best and also to make the
best of them. These expositions are
great ad vertising mediums for the
farmer. 1t is q place where he is af-
forded IN opportunity to put his pro.
ducts before the public In their most
at,r active form. 1t is where the farm
err cau learn what the other man Ia
producing, make his acquaintance
, and get practical points for his own
good.
Chouteau county farmers can pro.
duce just as good an article of grain
or any other crop as their fellow citi.
zens in other parts of Montana, and
the county fair Is the place to ''show
Them their ability In this direction.
Occasionally there may be a crop OF
phenomenal excellence that is worthy
OF place in an international exposi-
ton, and its superiority can be beet
presented and determined by display.
ing 1t in competition with other local
products.
From the exhibits at the county fair
it is proposed to select q display Of
Chouteau county farm products fol-
exhibition at the state fair in Helena,
The various county exhibits at the
state fair will probably furnish q fine
display of Montana farm products TO,
exhibition at eastern land shows, IL
which Chouteau county should b
creditably represented.

The building of the S0.m!le road ,

trio plant generating 1000 horsepower
are the first steps necessary to get
work under way on the storage dam,
the diversion dam and other struc'
lures of the St. Mary unit. The CANA

Chinook Opinion: The county clerk
officially received for record Monday
contracts and subscriptions in connec.

the settlers in Blaine county. The

documents for fling that day, the
biggest days run he has had.
