NOTES OF THE COUNTY FAIR.

| The exhibition made by the Mime
sofa Forestry Association at the fair
just closed, afforded some striking il
lustrations Of the value of forests tt
the community and of the Importance
Of better administration of those
State Lands, which a soil survey will
show are not suited. for agriculture.
No one could contemplate the dis
play without recognizing the import
ance Of the adoption Of Amendment
No. 9 for State Forests to be voted on
at the general election in November
Bound up with that amendment are
some Of the most vital interests Of ou1
State. 1t means the conversion OF
those State Lands, which soil sur
| vey shows to be unfit for farming, in
to forest domain which will not only
yield perpetual supply of timber and
revive many forest Industries, but II
will enlarge the School Fund by mill
| ions annually, conserve our water sup
ply, protect our crops, multiply game
animals and develop the incompatible
tourist possibilities of Minnesota. Fur
thermore, making productive those
Forest Lands which will otherise be
come barren wastes, our taxes will o.
