FIVE HUNDRED FARMERS ARE
GUESTS OF VIRGINIA TODAY
Drzng Rain Overcast Skies Failed to Keep Agricu
tursts at Home-Exhibs Not AS Large or Numerous as
Last Year. But Make Up in Quality What They Lack in
uantity Over Dinner Theatre Party Enjoyed
at Royal This Afternoon.


from all the country adjacent to Vir-
ginia and many of them from the
towns to the north along the line Of
the Canadian Northern, are the guests
of the Virginia Commercial Club today
at the third Annual Farmers Day OBJ
servance. The exhibits are not as
large as last year, but what they lack
in quantity they more than make up in
quality, and as usual there are some
big surprises in the line of grains,
grasses and root crops. The exhibits
will be judged at 4 o'clock this after
noon. The prizes to be paid are much
larger than last year, and those who
took the trouble to put their produce
on display are going to be we'll repaid.
Rain and overcast skies undoubtedly
kept many farmers from coming to the
city, but the attendance is very satis-
factory and the big crowd is having a
very good time. This morning they
went for a trip to the parks, mill and
mines in automobiles, at noon hot cof-
fee and sandwiches were served at the
Elks building, where the exhibits are
on display, and this afternoon more
than 200 attended the matinee at the
Royal Theatre, which was placed at
the disposal of the Farmers Day COM
mittee for the afternoon performance
by Manager Mclean. Only 1873 of
the farmers registered, but by far the
greater part of the crowd did not care
to do so, and the only lineup the COM
mittee has been able to get on the at
tendance was on the number of lunches
served at the noon hour, when consid-
erably more than 500 people were &C
commodated. ....-.-.,.--.... -.. ....--....
