for various uses, as we'll as the mani
fold forms in which cotton seed and
oil appear, made an array as inter
esting as 1T was varied. Mr. Ellison
was at the booth frequently during
the fair and answered questions con-
corning the industry and gave ex-
plantations as to the use of the differ
ent fertilizers, feed, oil. etc.
The rest of the tent contained ex-
hibits of farm products, which dem
onstrated beyond question the fact
that Lancaster county farmers are
learning how to diversity. Corn and
cotton, potatoes, hay, peas, beans,
cane, grain of many varieties, vege-
tables, fruits. etc, We're to be seen.
The largest and most representa-
tive collection of farm products was
that shown by Mr.. j. NJ. Yoder of
Van Wyck, proprietor of the Oakdale
Farm. This exhibit was very effec-
lively arranged. In the background
were massed 15 varieties of grasses
Boxes of carefully selected grain
seed, eight varieties of corn, cane.
peas of five kinds. beans, eight pump
kins which had grown on vine of
II, cornstalks on which climbed the
Kentucky Wonder bean, artiChokes.
peas, which had been grown along
with the corn, sorghum, hickory nuts.
1ruit, canned vegetables, twelve
garden products, etc. Very creditable
also were Mr.. c. o. Stogner's Latham
Farm exhibit. Mr.. A. b. Robinson's
collection from Cloverdale Farm. and
Mr.. j. w. Craig's from Willow Oaks.
Baled Lancaster county hay. fine
corn, and small grain, mammoth po-
tatoes were to be seen in the several
corrections shown by these progress
siVe farmers and while not so large
and varied as Mr.. Yoder's, they all
oetokened the fact that diversification
and intelligent methods are helping
our farmers to live at home."I
Many small specimen patches 70
grass gave evidence of the fact that
this county is learning to plant cover
crops. This whole department re-
tected credit upon the exhibitors a.
wen as upon the activity OF Farm
