Farm Club Booths.
One Of the most attractive features
at the Kandiyohi County Fair was the
exhibits of the farm clubs. Four of
these organizations were represented
and the quality of their products as
we'll as the artistic arrangement Of
the booths was pleasure to see. But
the most gratifying thing in connec-
tion with these farm club exhibits was
the splendid spirit Of cooperation and
enterprise which actuated the young
men and women who were back of the
undertaking. It seems to us that
these booths were but an outward ex-
preston of the new progressive agri-
cultural spirit which is springing up in
our county and state. When young
farmers will spend of their time, labor
and money with no expectation of re-
ward except the satisfaction Of being
pushers Of good thing, it speaks well
for them and for the future develop.
ment of agricultural interests in our
county.
