New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-09-23
NEW ULM. BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, sEP91

The exhibitors of grain were fewer
than rs in number, not enuf for county
of the size of Brown and devoted chiefly
to agriculture. Very few Milford, Cot
tonwood, Sigel and West Newton names
appear in this list, due no doubt to the
destructive hailstorm that did so much
damage to the grain crops. The corn
crop was the leader among the grains,
there being numerous fine specimens
exhibited Math Walser, And. Biebl,
Jos. Weisenborn, VIM. Oachs, and
Herman Kuehnel were the biggist prize
winners in this department. Mrs. Mary
Harter, Carl Ulrich, H. F. Schrader,
August Dalueg, and J. Cordes were also
prize winners in this department.
Siz pages of the list are required to
name the prize takers in the vegetable
department, despite the fact that it was
poor year for vegetables as well as
grain. Carl Bach, r. Leary, Mrs. John
Mack, Anna Huberty, Jos. Weisenborn
and Frank HUM were among the big
exhibitors who won prizes in this depart
ment.
There were % prize exhibits in the
fruit department but as rule the
collections were small owing to the fact
that this is an exceedingly poor year in
this vicinity for fruit of nearly every
description. Martin Penning was one
of the largest exhibitors and HI. L. Runck
was another. Her. Polkow exhibited
some fine apples and Mrs. w. Barsch
had varied collection of grapes, plums
and apples chat Melted her several
dollars in prize money. The Pioneer
Nursery did not exhibit this year.

they will still take an interest in such
things and be able to win prize for their
work when they pass 70 years of age.
