in competition. George G. Mckinley,

Polled Angus owned by Lee Morrison,

Farm Exhibit.
The farm exhibit by the extension
department of the College Of Agri-
culture of the West Virginia Univer-
sity at Morgantown at the fair Is OF
fering Harrison county farmers very
valuable course OF observation and
instruction, and it Is the hope OF the
Telegram that no farmer will fail to
visit the exhibit and spend consider
able time there. There is some one In
charge all the time and ready and
eager to answer all questions, make
demonstrations and either present
special bulletins or order them sent.
The horticultural department shows
plant diseases with their treatment,
sprays and spraying instruments and
grating and pruning specimens.
In the soils section are fertilizers,
soil analyses, wheat, oats and other
grain.
A picture and diagram showing
farm house and water well and
barn and barn well readily convince
the public that the barn should not
be located higher than the dwelling.
Poultry houses and poultry feeds
are exhibited as well as various kinds
Of feed for cattle, horses and hogs.
There is a silo and dairy features,
milk tests and the like are shown and
explained.
Not unimportant are parcel post
boxes for rural mail routes. and there
are other features too numerous to
mention well worth seeing.
Splendid NeedlewOrk.
Perhaps the largest display of any
one class OF exhibits in Floral Hall
is that embracing ornamental needle
work. Hundreds and hundreds of ex-
hibits are seen and they include every
kind Of needlework listed in the prem
ium book from small doilies and hand
kerchiefs to large quilts and comforts.
The general display this year Is three
times larger than that of last year
and the largest ever shown at a Harri-
son county fair SO far as anyone can
remember The women are naturally
much interested In this wonderful dis
play and they are making "big fuss"
over It.
Among the concerns not already
mentioned that have exhibits in this
hall is the West Virginia Business Col
lege, the merits and advantages OF
which are set forth in advertising mat
ter Of various kinds. The display Is
prettily set of with pennants OF the
school.
A Renaissance In Art.
Judging from the splendid display
| OF crayon drawings, oil and water col
| or paintings and pen drawings. there
must be a sort of renaissance in art
among Harrison county people and
particularly the young people. The
many exhibits in this department are

maps are included. Elaborate spect-
ments OF pen lettering are also seen.
Ferrell's drug store has an attractive
display OF patent medicines and toilet
articles.
one of the most interesting and
! elaborate displays in the hall Is that
embracing jellies and preserved fruit.
Jellies lead in the number OF the ex-i
hibits but there are hundreds OF Jars
of preserved fruits, all neatly packed.

and the adjoining department where
baked goods and dairy products are
shown In profusion. Indeed, one is
sorely tempted to walk right in and
eat some OF the many good things
found here.
Escapes Yost Law.
| In the latter department are found
besides cakes, breads, biscuits and
rolls, some exhibits of Harrison coun-
ty. home made sorghum molasses,
cheese, vinegar and butter. OF par
ticular interest in this department is
