NEW FEATURE IN
BENTON EXHIBITS
County Agriculturalist Works
Out Plan to Make Fair Dis
plays of Practical Benefit

It appears that the time for &
change in the usual plans of carrying
on fairs is at hand. The primary OBJ
jet Of fair is education. Other
forms Of education have developed
very rapidly but the fair has gone no
further than to display exhibits and
place them. The same plan is still
used that was used generations ago.
For instance, one goes to the fair and
sees q fine exhibit Of tomatoes; he
admires them and goes on. He has
learned what q good tomato is and
has had the pleasure Of seeing q fine
exhibit. But has he learned . single
thing that would enable him to grow
tomatoes like that?
Many Of the exhibits of produce 1t
the fairs in Benton county this year
will be accompanied by q new fea-
ture. This feature will be Of not Q
little interest to the casual observer,
and will furnish for producers Of crops
definite and interesting information
that will be Of great value to him in
growing his crcops.
The exhibit Of tomatoes, for in
stance, will be accompanied by . sam
pie of the soil and the following blank
filled out.
