Agricultural and Stock Exhibits
a Drawing Card


Fair Association began their
second fair under auspicious con-
ditions promptly on schedule time
and at the appointed place. Most
all of the exhibits were in place
promptly Monday morning ready
for the opening on the following
morning, a condition greatly to
the advantage of any fair. The
stock exhibit was very fattering,
representatives of all the popular
breeds being in their stalls await
ing the awards of the judges.
The poultry exhibit deserves
special mention. Messrs. R. B.
Walton and ]. ]. Hayard of Win
slow showed the birds in the Red
and White Rocks which can hard
ly be excelled. The bronze tur-
keys shown by Mrs. Rhoton of
ShumWay were almost perfect
specimens of the breed and Prof.
Harris (of chicken fame( took
great pleasure in showing "the
perfect wing. A draft team o.
horses exhibited by Darian Kart
elmer are no doubt the equal of
any of the state. A mare and
colt shown by G. H. Ballard ap-
propriately wore the blue ribbon
! of merit. Joe Willis showed the
best milk COW which was of the
Holstein breed, Mr.. Willis was
also awarded several blue ribbons
on his pens of swine of all the
Jersey Red breed. Rabbits and
hares Of the black. fawn, white
and gray varieties were in evil
dence, and represented by indi-
viduals fully up to the high stan
dards in their separate classes.
James M. Flake exhibited some
Herefords of both sexes which ex-
celled in all points of excellency.
Among the poultry exhibits men,
ton should be made of several
very fine pens of Black Spanish,
Black Minoreas, Blue Andalu-
sian, Leghorns and Wyandottes.
The fruit display, especially in
| apples, pears and plums, was
equally as good as the very best.
All of the grains, both shelled
and in the sheaf, were pronounc-
ed by the judges to be far ahead
of such usally seen at county
fairs. The dry products were
the wonder of the show. Of the
agricultural display the main in
terest perhaps centered around
the exhibit by @. R. Gardner,
president of the association. In
this exhibit was corn of several
varieties both in the ear and or
the stock, sorghum, milo maize,
wheat, oats, millet, soudar
grass, beans. potatoes, peanuts,
squash. pumpkin, melons, a
kinds of garden truck and flowers.
| Everything for the market and
home consumption and all of the
very first quality. Several other
land exhibits were indicative o1
intelligent and persistent atten-
tion and labor. The irrigated
lands exhibits were excellent and
represented by products we'll cal
culated to attract attention and
deserve special mention.
The boys and girls club dis.
plays attracted marked attention
and evidenced great care anC
| persistent labor on the part oil
the instructors and club mem.
bers. G.. R. Fillerup, County
Farm Agent, and his corps Of
able assistants have been untir
ing in their efforts to be of ser
vice in this important field. One
little girl only Is years of agt
