Harvest Home Festival At Brisssdal,

Harvest Home Festival 1t Briggsdale
Visitors from the farming districts
around Greeley, Denver, and Boulder
expressed surprise and admiration when
they inspected the excellent displays Of
agricultural products At Briggsdale on
Saturday. The great variety Of ex-
hibits were representative Of the dry
land district extending many miles
around Briggsdale, and were comprised
Of practically everything that is pro-
duced in other parts Of the state under
irrigation. A Greeley man himself said
that the potatoes on display were as
good as any raised in the Greeley dis
trict.
A few Of the products were: large,
well-filled ears of corn on nine-foot
stalks; squashes, So inches in circum-
ference; sugar beets; oats, millet, al
falfa, kaffir, Sudan grass, etc.
Although = great many Of the young
women in that community have home
steads requiring large part Of their
time for putting in crops and tending
them, and doing other work connected
with farm life, still they have found
time to sew, embroidsr, crochet, tat,
knit. and pises 4,ailts. Even little girls
under four years 6 80 had doilies and
doll aprons on 'sxh1bieiea. Housewives
brought tempting samples Of their
bread, cake, butter, canned vegetables
and fruit, and other good things to eat.
The work Of each member Of the fam
lily was there 10 speak for itself.
The day Wa spent in renewing &C.
quaintances and visiting, interspersed
with sports Of many kinds: horse races,
bicycle races, naildriving and target
shooting contests for the girls, baby
show In which the son Of Mr.. and Nrs.
Reed and The daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. v. Conrad were winners, . ball
