PHILLIPS COUNTY EXHIBIT

The Phillips county exhibit at the
Montana State Fair will be the best
ever sent in from this part of the
state and will compare favOrably
ties.
The exhibit of grains and grasses
grown in this county Is exception
ally good and all of our farmers
have taken great pride in bringing
in the best samples of their fields TO
be sent to the state fair. Some OF
the best Marquis, Blue Stem, Alaska
and Turkey Red wheat samples will
go to the big fair this year from
Phillips county and several have en-
tered their samples in the contest
for a Studebaker automobile that Is
to be given to the farmer raising
the best wheat in the state.
The very first samples sent in
to our office for the fair came from
the field Of L. G. Edwards just north
of the city, and this has been en-
tered for a prize and it is certainly
deserving of one. It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Edwards wheat went
4 better than forty bushels to the acre
when threshed and these samples
were taken at random from the big
seventy acre field.
One of the first samples brought
to this Office the past week was sew
eral stalks of. corn and bunch OF
Turkey Red wheat from the fields
of the well-known old timer of this
section, Andrew Davidson. Mr..
Davidson was more than pleased to
send in his products and only re-
GREETED that he did not have enough
to enter in the prize contest, but he
had threshed most of his grain be-
fore those gathering the products
arrived at his place. Judge David
son also has some fine corn in stalk
in the exhibit.
Mrs. Tranby, who has a fine dry
land farm southeast of town, sent in
an excellent collection of samples of
Blue Stem wheat that has been en-
tered for prize. Mrs. Tranby has
the distinction of being the only
lady competing for prize from this
county in the grain line.
Wallace Greenman of Strater, has
entered samples of Blue Stem
wheat in the automobile contest.
Mr.. Greennan has taken lot of
pains with his grain this year and
it has we'll repaid him for his
trouble in the abundant crop he has
harvested and it is to be hoped he
wins prize at the coming fair.
Brooks Stahlin of Wagner, sends
in a nice bunch of Durum wheat
and his samples will be given a
prominent place in the exhibit. Mr.
Stahlin has also on exhibition a fine
bunch of garden stuff and is the
only one so far to send in pop corn,
musk mellon, etc. He has also sent
in some extra large beets, onions
and cucumbers.
Henry Broderson of the North
Bench, has favored us with goodly
supply of oats and flax and is the
only exhibitor from his section
competing for a prize in the oats
contest, and he has some of the best
at that. The flax from the Broader
son field is also worthy of mention
and will show up we'll with our
county exhibit.
Roy Monroe, also of the North
Bench, sends in several samples of
Blue Stem wheat, flax and oats that
show up we'll for that section of our
new county, and will 60 long ways
toward winning prize. Mr.. Mon
roe also has a fine exhibit of vege-
tables.
Henry Rock of the South Bench
sent in fine bunch of wheat that
compares favorably with the other
Phillips county samples. Mr.. Rock
threshed a fine field of this wheat
Il ond tho vio1H
.arge.
One of the finest samples of Mar
9uis wheat came from the field of
Bench. Mr.. Stubblefield harvested
b large crop of this new wheat this
rear and says the yield was far be-
,ond his fondest expectations.
Fred Southwick brought in an
excellent sample of Blue Stem
wheat and our only regret is that he
Hid not have enough left before
hreshing to enter the contest for
he automobile, as he certainly has
fine grade of wheat with long,
ven and we'll filled heads.
From the dry farm of Frank Des-
ardin south of Malta on the Phil
ips' road, several fine samples
we're secured. Mr.. Desjardin has
ONE very good corn this year and
lso samples of Alaska wheat that
re bound to take prize.

f Blue Stem wheat that will make
good showing with the rest of the
xhibit at the coming fair.
