Farmers OF Marshall County Win Honors at Crookston
Farm Crops Show.--SweepstakesW Won by Vansickle
on Oats and w F. Tullar on Barley

Warren and in fact all Of Mar
shall county was we'll represented
at the sixth annual Farm Crops
Show in Crookston last week. The
city of Crookston and especially the
officers of the Northern Minnesota
Development association and Supt
C. G. Selvig Of the Northwestern
School Of Agriculture, are deserving
of all praise for the excellent man
ner in which they managed the hig
show and entertained the numerous
visitors and guests. A great deal
of work is required to get up a
show Of this magnitude and Crook
ston has shown that it can do big
things. Excellent speakers, most of
them from the Minnesota college
Of Agriculture took part in the daily
programs. All the addresses were
instructive and full Of inspiration to
all who heard them. The great
drawing card on Friday, the last
day Of the show, was President Geo.
E. Vincent Of the State University.
He delivered one of his characters
tic uplifting addresses at the opera
house in the afternoon and in the
evening gave the same address to
a packed house at the armory. An
elaborate farewell dinner was given
to DR.. Vincent at the Elk's Hall at
o'clock, about 800 guests being
present. A fitting program of toasts
was rendered, all the speakers voic-
ing the gratitude and appreciation
of the state for DR.. Vincent's work
as an educator and q citizen and
wishing him success in his new field
of labor
The ehibits of grains and vege-
tables was larger and better than
what one might expect, considering
the unfavorable crop year. The ex-
hibit of corn was splendid and if
any person had any doubt Of north
ern Minnesota being in the corn belt,
that doubt was quickly dissolved by
glancing over the great display that
filed the whole length of one side
of the armory. For the first time
in the history Of the show live
stock and poultry were being ex-
hibited. There were many entries
of blooded stock, the Spaulding
Farm of Warren and F. A. Green of
Stephen being among the number,
the former showing Holsteins, and
the latter Duroc Jersey hogs. Stock
judging by farmers clubs was an in
teresting feature.
