scented. Fred Servoss spent the great
er part of his time with the Richland
exhibit and between these two lively
boosters and County Horticulturalist
Luke Powell, very few left Yakima

hibits on the grounds. Too much praise
cannot be accorded Mr.. Powell for the
interest he showed in getting up the
exhibit from Benton county and the
fact that it proved such winner is
largely due to his untiring efforts.
