LOCAL FARMERS WIN
PRIZES At S.W FAIR
HtRSTON COUNTY MAKES GOOD
SHOWING At CENTRALIA-
CHEHALIS EVENT.

Quilt Huuibtl VI HuISlOl
county farmers went down to the
Southwest Washington Fair, midway
between Centralia and Chehalis, last
week with displays of livestock, poul-
try and the like, while the wide
awake farmers of one particular sec
ton, Grand Mound, made an elabo-
rate display of the products of their
farms and won great attention.
Among the prize winners were c.
w. Shumate of Tumwater. with his
Duroc, Poland and Berkshire hogs,
on which he won three grand cham
pionships; Fitch and Dain of Yelm,
with their livestock display; Ira N.
Define and Kegley Bros. with their
poultry, while a Thurston county
woman, Mrs. Ben Peck, took some of
her needlework down for display and
came back with several awards. In
cidentally. a Thurston county boy,
John Rowe, son of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
B. Rowe, won second place in the
boys stock-judging contest, with
score of 33S out of possible 400.
Grand Mound Has Booth.
/ The display of Grand Mound prod
ucts was made under the auspices of
the Farmers cinb of that vicinity and
occupied a booth in the Commercial
building. 1t attracted wide attention
because only few years ago many
were of the opinion that the prairie
adjacent to Grand Mound was not
good for farming, that it was
poor" country. During the past
few years scientific intensive dry
farming has been tried by the men
owning places near Grand Mound
and in this booth were shown a few
of the things which they are raising.
All the farms sending exhibits were
situated within two miles of Grand
Mound and consisted of 20 and 10
acre tracts. The method used is to
keep the land under constant cult
walton, the sand forming dry mulch
which keeps the moisture in the
ground and conserves it. Twenty
acres will keep one man very busy.
Among the things shown we're
magnificent rhubarb, beans of all
kinds and varieties, oats, wheat, veg
etables of large size yet finely fibred,
corn higher than a man can reach,
berry vines, honey and preserved
fruits. A second cutting of alfalfa
over two feet high was one of the
things which showed how rich the
prairie really is as 1t is an old saying
that where alfalfa will grow any
thing will grow.
The exhibit was very neatly ar
ranged and a novel touch was added
by replicas of number of canoes and
men formed of odd shaped carrots.
A complete list of Thurston county
exhibitors and prize-winners at this
fair is not available, but both Define
and Kegley Bros. took many prizes
with their poultry. while c. w. Shu-
mate won the following prizes with
his display of hogs:
DurOcs - First, yearling boar;
first and second, sows over six months
and under 1 year; first and second.
sows under six months.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., junior boar.
Polands-First and champions,
