from the counties of Nebraska which
represent the older counties of the.
eastern part of the state, but the far
west, yes, even up into what was only
a very few years ago the trackless
northwest, sends in its displays of
agriculture and most of them compare
favorably with those of the older
counties.
One can hardly understand Just
how wonderful has been the devel-
opment of Nebraska's western and
northwestern section until he OBJ
serves the displays of products from
that section. 1t is a revelation to the
doubter and source of conviction that
there is no spot in Nebraska, but that
under right conditions can be made
to blossom like the Garden of Eden.
But one reaches their height OF
wonder and admiration when they OBJ
serve the display made under the aus
pices of the State Horticultural So
ciety. As one steps into the mamoth
big steel building which covers the
display of the products of Nebraska
farms, he almost catches his breath,
so amazed is he at the beautiful sight
spread out before him.
Long tables covered with thousands
upon thousands of plates of big,
luscious apples whose rosy cheeks
give evidence of the health and

wealth in the ~breezes which blow
across the state, moistened by the
bountiful showers that fall upon the
earth. Grapes and other fruits give
out an aroma that makes >the build
ing a veritable understanding garden,
while the wonderful display of flow
ers and shrubs makes one almost
wonder if he has not at last found
the Garden of Eden and is basking
in the smiles OF natures paradise.
1t is useless to try to describe the
wondrous beauties of the horticultu-
raj hall. Winding in and out among
the beautiful wonders of nature to
the music of ripping fountains, the
beholder soon drifts off into an
ecstacy of dreams, wonderful dreams,
dreams that are real, and can hardly
tear himself away from the beautiful
picture spread out before him, while
he drinks in the zephyrs, intoxicated
with the perfume of the myriads of
fruits and flowers. the product of Ne
braska's wonderful farms and gardens.
However, Nebraska's wonderful
display of fruit and vegetables and
flowers is not grown for the pleas
ure of the state fair visitor alone.
Many man who has come to Ne
braska poor man has become in
dependent raising these products for
the market. Hardly city in the state

There are other sidelines TO farm
ing which add to the wealth OF the
farming industry and help the farmer
and his busy housewife to meet the
financial demands which have come
with the years. Modern education
has added to the expense of the
farmers family, and as the boys and
girls must now have high school
education and perhaps course at
the university, so it has been neces-
sary to add TO the income of the
farm and the side lines have helped
great deal in this regard. Modern.
farming has enabled the farmer,
wherever he has taken advantage OF
it, to get the most out of the soil
with not nearly as much drudgcry
as in the old days, and so had more
time 10 devote to the side lines with
beneficial results.
Much of the benefits which he hs-
accumulated have come from the
things he has learned while ATTENDING
the Nebraska State fair aud the Co.'S.
ty fair at home. Meeting others Of
his vocation and swapping ideas has
enabled the agriculturist to rise to
the situations which confront him
and solve them with beneficial results.
As an educational institution the
state fair has performed wonders for
Nebraska.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-08-31

The display OF farm products at the
state fair has always been a source
of wonder and delight to people who
have visited Agricultural hail and
have seen the wonderful displays of
all kind of agricultural products.
About 1000 exhibitors showed the
fruit of their labors in the display of
agriculture in the big hall. Their work
was shown in everything from a half
bushel of potatoes to big watermel-
Ions and pumpkins, and from bright
grains of wheat to mammoth big ears
of corn. Grass and alfalfa exhibits
aroused the wonder of people from
outside of the state who could hardly
understand that the great American
desert of fifty years ago could bring
forth such wonderful results from its
soil
Something like two dozen or more
counties made display of the pro-
ducts of their counties in collective
exhibits, and Agricultural hall fairly
groaned with the car after car of all
kinds of fruits of the farm" there on
display. The county collective ex-
hibit has brought out a great deal of
rivalry in last three or four years and
each year sees new counties entering
the contest for honors.
These displays do not alone come

big agricultural mine lying in Ne
braska soil But when he adds to it
the innumerable other things, such as
stock, vegetables, flowers, fruit, etc,
the amount becomes almost ipcom-
prehensible until he sees the exhibits
at the state fair, and then he begins
to comprehend somewhat what wealth
their lies in Nebraska farms.
And so from year to year people
have come to the Nebraska state fair
and haye gone away amazed at the
pictures painted by nature they have
seen.
This year they are going TO be more
amazed than ever. The 1910 state
fair bids to be far in excess Of any
previous exhibition. Entries on all
classes are coming in and there is
every indication that a trip to the
fair this year will be an event one
cannot afford to pass up.
As the travelling salesman has his
side lines, so the farmer has those
lines of farming which do not ex-
actly come in under the tilling the
soil proposition. w..
1t used to be that the housewife
took charge of one Of the most i'm
portant side lines, that of churning
the butter and preparing it for the
market. Now that is mostly done
with cream separator and much OF

but what provides a market for these
products and many OF them are
shipped to the outside.
Just the amount that Nebraska
raises OF fruits, vegetables and flow
ers would be hard to determine. No
body knows, except that he knows
that it is an almost unbelievable
amount. 1t is known that last year
Nebraska raised large amounts of
corn, wheat and like products, but no
statistician has ever attempted to give
the amount of vegetables and flowers
raised in the state.

sources of the state along agricultural
