A number have wondered why there
were no special shows or exhibits at
the fair. A number signed contracts
with Secretary Pelton to come to Bar
aboo, but all cancelled on account Of
poor business early in the season.
The last to cancel was about ten days
before the fair was held. It is one
thing to sign contract six months
ahead of the fair and another thing to
have the attraction on the ground at
the appointed time

The squashes exhibited by the boys
drew lot of attention. The Salzer
Seed company of La Crosse sent a

at the fair realize the success of the
effort. About thirty exhibited speci

Hi fruit farm, demonstrated an apple
grader at the fair. The machine. by
means of revolving carrier filed
with cavities, carries the applies for

by themselves, the next in size into a

smallest ones going to the Ground for
cider. Mr.. Bassett says that many Of

several of the machines in operation

vice is to meet this need The ma

produce such freaks. The cobs were

second premium went to Miss pBevelyn
