Edmundson did the judging, and these
gentlemen have in fact been about the
whole thing in the arrangement and
perfection of the show, but have had
the active cooperation of the exhib-
itors in their division, who are mostly
from about Moscow, and are our best
farmers.
The Poultry Division
This being the first year in which
the poultry division has been fea-
ture of the fair together with the fact
that the season of the year is not the
best for display of birds, being in the
moulting at this time, the number Of
entries was naturally not large, but
there is representation of nearly so
pens, made up of Rhode Island Reds,
S. c.. White Leghorns, White Wyan-
dottes, Buttercups, Plymouth Rocks,
geese and one turkey.
The Rhode Island Reds strongly
predominate in number of entries, and
exhibitors, T. P. Peterson having four
pens, W. R. Wright, B. E. Collision of

Several of them, notably the latter
two are old exhibitors at the poultry
shows of this section and their show

The Roselawn Greenhouses have
five pens of White Leghorns and T. P.

a class to create favorable comment,

the entries in the Plymouth Rock class

In view of the fact that the annual
poultry show of the Idaho branch of
the American Poultry association for
1876 will be held in Moscow it is
hoped that the poultry breeders of this
section will give attention to the dis
play made at the fair and get such
pointers on exhibition matter as will !
aid them in getting ready to make a |
big showing at the show next January !

Kendrick People Here
This morning the north-bound Nor
thern Pacific train brought to the city
nearly 800 people, large delegation
headed by Mayor J. F. Brown coming
from Kendrick. The Kendrick people
were here to lend their support to the
annual fair and to press an invitation
to Moscow people to attend its falr
which occurs the latter part OF this
month.
Exhibits Attract Attention
Interest in the various exhibits at
the fair is not lacking. The manage
ment is loudly praised for the exten-
sive line of exhibits as well as the ex-
treme variety. The display in the
fruit division is this year ahead OF
that of last in all classes except that
of apples, which has been seriously
cut down by the failure of the apple
crop to come up to that of other years,
and as apples in a large part nave
made up the exhibit in the past their
failure tends to materially decrease
the space used, and accordingly the
division looks considerably smaller
than usual, though the merit OF the
display and interest it should arouse
is but little lessened.
Fine Apple Display
The apple display this year shows
62 plates-that doesn't sound much
like failure, and it wouldn't be in
most countries-but it is small for La
tah county. In it are 26 varieties, be-
sides six of crabs, Jonathans are
strongly in the lead with Roman Beau
ty, Wageners, Winter Banana, and
Wealthy we'll up in the list.
Plums and prunes make good
showing with 46 plates, having IA var
ieties, Italian prunes leading with
Silvers next.
Pears show % plates, over half be-
Bartletts No part of the fruit show Is
more attractive than these pears which
would rank with those of any country
on earth.
Peaches have 13 plates mostly Ell
bertas and CrawfOrds, grapes snow
six plates, but the writer is not hor-7
ticulturalist enough to know what
varieties they were, and there are two
mates of Late Duke cherries in good
condition, and one of blackDerrles.
There are also plates of butternuts
and black walnuts, grown within
speaking distance of Moscow.
Mr.. Knapp has showing OF Ia

Wageners, Ben Davis, Kings, Roman
