pleased 10 see such an interesting ex-
hibit, notwithstanding a very unfavor-
able year.
j All day yesterday, last night and to-
! day large crowds thronged the display
in the Moose building and the interest
was not only in the individual displays
of corn, but in the exhibits shown by

Itato Growers association.
In the booth provided for the display
of the Oregon state hospital, there is on
Exhibition today terminating box,
showing how to test corn and demon
strating to those who plant corn, means
of finding out ust what corn win grow.

fall, it will become almost necessary
for planters to know whether their corn
will germinate.

Pop" This is genuine mountain of
small size modelled after Mount Hood

and what is more, at intervals of Is
minutes tonight and Friday night, the
popcorn mountain will erupt" in prop
er style, throwing out the popped article
in true volcanic manner.
