Exhibition of Products of the Soil at
The Armory Yesterday and We'd
nesday Were Wonderful.
That there Will be no decrease in
value of farm property in Dorches-
ter county seems assured, for so
many persons were impressed with
/ the great possibilities of the lands Of
the county yesterday that it would
not be surprising if half of the
people of Cambridge were to de-
eide to give up their occupations and
go to farming, so greatly were they
delighted with the splendid exh1bf-
ton of soil products at the annual
exhibition yesterday and Wednesday,
under the auspices of Pomo ma
Grange. It would seem safe to say
that there is no county in the Unit
eu SIdtSS IudI Will VI ouuSS SoeioA ~
torily greater variety of crops
than this county, which fact is born
out by the list of exhibits at the
show. These ranged from potatoes
to cotton, and embraced choice speci
mems of all kinds of vegetables, flow
ers, fruits, berries, etc. The canned
