the supervision OF Shirley Pope OF Cot
tage Hill, who is superintendent OF
that department this year. Mr.. Pope
has indeed made a most creditabIe
showing and has gathered the best
agricultural products from all over
West Florida. with the result that the
building is full to its capacity, and all
or the exhibits are entirely up to the
standard
More County Exhibits.
To begin with, there are more coun-
ties represented In this department
this year than ever before and all of
the exhibits are large ones and show
the possibilities of the counties they
represent from an AGRICULTURAL stand
point.
The counties represented this year
are Escambia, Baldwin, Holmes and
Jackson.
The Escambia county exhibit is un-
der the management of S. w. Hiatt of
Roberts. The Baldwin county exhibit
is under the management of L. T.
Rhodes and c. E. Aylin The Holmes
county exhibit is managed by C. A.
F11lford, w. F. Armfield and W. A.
Seasons.
Community Exhibits.
There are two community exhibits
and both of them would do credit to
a county at most of the fairs held
throughout the country.
The community exhibits are the Rob-
erts-Gonzalez exhibit and the Santa
Rosa, Walton county, exhibit. The
Roberts-Gonzalez exhibit is under the
supervision of L. w. Hardy and B. NJ.
Bombay, while the Santa Rosa exhibit
is under the management of J. J.
Chapman.
Individual Exhibits.
There are three individual exhibits
this year, each Of them being worthy
of special note. The judges will have
a big task when they try to make
selection between these exhibits and
the one on which the blue ribbon is
pinned win have cause to be proud.
The three individual exhibits were
entered by F. E. Maxey of Gonzalez,
r. ]. Pleas OF Chipley, and w. C. Bar
rineau OF Cantonment.
While as stated all of the exhibits
are good, the exhibit of F. E. Maxey
deserves special mention, because of
the fact that he is the only one having
much of a display of vegetables. His
display of green vegetables would make
a credftable exhibit, aside from the
general line Of agricultural products
shown in his space.
c., =. e A. Exhibit.
The exhibit Of the Gulf. Florida &
Alabama Railway Company, gathered
from points all along the line of that
road, is one of the best and most artis.
tically arranged in the entire building
This exhibit is fully as large as any
of the county exhibits and could well
compete with any of them. 1t is under
the care of Henry Hyer and H. j. WILL
ings. 1t shows that almost anything
can be produced along the line of the
Deep Water Route.
This exhibit Is one Of the most VAL
liable on the fair grounds, as several
bales Of cotton are included in. IL.
General Exhibit.
The general exhibit this year Is
hardly as large as it has been on some
former occasions, but all of the entries
in this exhibit are up to the standard
and are OF exceptionally fine quality.
f. E. Maxey Of Gonzalez, also has
fine display OF vegetables in this ex-
hibit.
Tomato Clubs.
More counties are represented in the
Girls Tomato Club exhibits this year
than ever before, and all Of them are
very creditable.
Escambia, Walton and Holmes coun-
ties are represented this year and the
exhibits show what can be accomplish
ed on a small amount of land and
without a great deal OF work.
Escambia's exhibit is In charge Of
Miss Mary Bradley OF Roberts; Miss
14 - a.
charge of the Walton county exhibit,
and Miss Mary Lou Mathis is in charge
of the Holmes county display.
The three exhibits are together and
are near the center OF the agricultural
building.
Another exhibit worthy Of mention
in this building is that of the Pensa-
cola Seed and Nursery Company. in
charge of DR.. W. s. Vincent, proprietor
of the nursery. One OF the most re-
rr1arxable things in this exhibit Is the
some pecan trees OF one years growth
in this exhibit which are ten feet high.
The Pensacola Seed and Nursery
Company is at Cottage Hill.
Pensacola High School.
Another very creditable exhibit in
this building Is that of the Pensacola
high school, which is In charge OF Miss

sive and creditable exhibits to be found
on the fair grounds and reflects credit
upon the pupils and teachers Of the
high school.

in the agricultural building and, as
stated. the building this year is the
best ever seen at the Pensacola Inter-
state Fair, or in West Florida
