COUNTY FAIR PROVED
A RGEAT SUCCESS
Much Interest Shown In The Second
Annual Fair Of Cook County
Agricultural Society

rlcultural Society which was held on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week was a grand success, the
exhibits in all departments showing
that Cook county is productive and
that the products raised here are
equal to those raised anywhere.
The vegetable and fruit depart
ment was fine display and credit
to the county. In the fruits, the
apples shown were a surprise to
most of the patrons of the fair.
There were about forty exhibits of
apples, all of them raised on trees
that were set out a few years ago
by individuals who put them out SIM
ply as an experiment, sceptical as to
the wisdom of putting out fruit
trees in Cook county.
The forage crops for which this
county is especially adapted, were
we'll represented. In the grain de-
partment there were not so many en-
tries, as less attention has been
paid to the raising of grains than
other products. There were large
number of cattle shown, most of
which were of the Holstien breed.
The poultry division had a large
number of exhibits and much inter-
est was shown in this department.
Altogether the fair was a COM
plete success, the attendance being
good every day, the exhibits show
ing that Cook county is a farming
county and there is not much that
cannot be grown here.
Messrs. A. B. Hostetter, H. G. Lar
son, M. J. Thompson and Gilbert
Martin, of Duluth, who are connect
ed with the Extension Division of
the State Agricultural school were
here to assist the management as
judges of the different departments.
Mr.. M. J. Thompson and H. G. Lar
son acted as judges of the live stock
and after judging each class, Mr..
Thompson gave a talk on the good
and bad points of the animals exhi-
,bited. On Friday night talk was
given by each Of these gentlemen 49,.
the subjects in scientific farming in
which they have specialized which
proved interesting and instructive to
the large audience which was on
hand to hear them.
