PRIZE WINNERS AT
FARM CROPS SHOW
Marshall County Farmers Win Many
Premiums and Again Demonstrate
the High Productivity of Our Red
River Valley Soil.

represented at the seventh annual Min
nesota Red River Valley Farm Crops
and Stock Show held at Crookston last
week and carried off many prizes
Owing to the unfortunate failure of the
express company to deliver the pack
age OF exhibits sent to the show by A.
ID. Nansickle. Of Warren, the greatest
prize winner of them all. Marshall
county did not get all the prizes it
would have taken, had Mr. Vansickle's
samples been entered in competition.
Many OF the sweepstakes and other big
prizes would undoubtedly have gone to
Marshall county, as Mr.. Vansickle had
some samples which the judges admit
ted, after the awards had been made,
We're far superior to others exhibited at
this show. The blunder Of the express
company has caused Mr. Vansickle a
big loss in prizes he would have won
and Marshall county the loss Of
prestige which the awards would have
brought to the county. Mr.. Vansickle's
exhibits were sent down on Thursday,
the week before the show, hence there
was no excuse for the failure to deliver
same.
