PATTERSON WINS q. N. TROPHY

= III
Prize Hiltz Has Best Table
Vegetable Display.
If any one thing stood out
more prominently than any other
at the Beltrami county fair which
closed Friday afternoon, it was the
fact that in order to properly con-
duct the exposition in future years
several new buildings are necessary.
New Building is Dandy.
The new agricultural hall which
was used for the first time this year,
greatly improves conditions and was
given much favorable comment, but
it does not provide enough floor space
for the proper arranging of school
and agricultural exhibits. Espec-
tally is this true in connection with
the farm and club exhibits which are
sure to be doubled next year.
A Livestock Pavilion.
A livestock pavilion for next year
is already being urged, as are mod
ern coops for the poultry. Visitors
to the fair next year will not recog-
nize the grounds, so numerous are
the Improvements to be. The grounds
are to be sodded and trees planted
and the agricultural hall is to be
completed and made much more
roomy and attractive. A cement
walk will be built between the grand
stand and hall A school exhibit hall
may also be built.
Was Most Successful.
The displays at the fair this year
were more uniform than, ever before
and of higher standard and quality
and demonstrated amply the rapid
progress which the county is making
along agricultural lines.
Hustlers at Summit.
That the residents of Summit are of
the true progressive type. was again
demonstrated at the fair, for not
only did the Farmers club carry
away first honors for the second tins,
but the school work display won
first place in it's department.
There were more than thirty
schools of the county with exhibits
at the fair, and the showing made
was very gratifying to County Su-
perintendent w. B. Stewart, who has
devoted much time to the work. Six
teen children took part in the bread
contest and AZ in the poultry contest.
These the Bread Winners.
In the bread contest the following
were the winners: Cora Wheeler,
of district II, first; Helen Berg, dis
trict II, second, and Lois Matheny,
district IS, third.
The grand prize, watch, offered
by E. A. Barker, for the best ten ears
of corn, went to Kenneth Meyer. The
single ear prize went to Clarence Gill
stad of Blackjack; the best ten ears
of white dent to John Harris; the
best ten ears of yellow dent to Bert
Brennan, and the best ten ears of
northwestern dent to Clarence Gill
stad

the dairy herd prize, with A. e. Wit
ting, second, A. P. Richie, third, and

a. last three registered or grade fe-

Richie Again Winner.
