EXHIBITS ARE REVELATION
MANY MARVEL OF FARM PRODUCTS LIVE sToCN'
ETc.-NEED A coU NTRY FAIR is EMPHA-
slzED-PREMIUMs ARE AWARDED

The Farm Exhibit and Trades Day /
display has today been visited by a
very much larger number than on Fri
day and the interest shown by the
farmers as we'll as many of the town
people has been marked.
The great variety of farm products
we'll displayed in the Commercial
Club rooms as we'll as the creditable
display of live stock and poultry
shown in the Court House yard is to
many a revelation. People who DO
not keep up with the rapid progress OF
agriculture and live stock in this coun-
ty have marveled at the exhibits made,
and the opinion is freely expressed
trat such an interesting display, gotten
together in so short a time with but
small expenditure of money, makes
longer delay in organizing for a large
county fair annually objectionable.
The classes in agriculture at the
Normal College were busy today with
note books taking down records
Of the displays, with the intention of
working them up for use in their
studies at the college.
