Farmers Exchange Hall. Berlin,
under the auspices of the Community
League and Extension Department of
the State was success. The attend
ance was good and those in charge
were well pleased with the results.
The scope should have covered all
/ the towns in the northern section of
the county and the show made much
larger one. but owing tc various rca-
/ sons several sections did not respond
to the opportunity. The response of
1 Berlin and near vicinity people was
exceedingly good. rs reports show
more than one hundred and fifty cxhi-
! bitors and six hundred exhibits. A
portion OF the first premiums given
were from the State Horticultural
Society. and special premiums were
! libcrally given by Berlin banks and
business men.
The Judges, c. r. Cobb. County
Agent of Wicomico County. c. T.. kel-
lar, County Agent Of Somerset Coun-
/ ". S. f.. Day. Boys Club Agent of
College Park. and Miss Louise Mills.
Home Demonstration Agent of Somer-
set County judged the exhibits on
Friday afternoon and prizes were
awarded on Saturday.
Among the most interesting of the
exhibits were the splendid corn cxhi-
bits by both men and boys. four col
lections of all good things in the
woman's department, and very
splendid exhibit of the work of the
Berlin High School This was large
and attracted 4 considerable amount
of favorable comment.
Nineteen corn club boys exhibited
samples of the corn grown on their
acre plots and eight club girls made
an excellent display of their work.
The exhibit of dairy products,
though not large, showed the increaS-
ing interest the people of Berlin vicin-
ity are taking in wisely promoting
the da interest of that section
On i.r whole the Show showed Il
markci progress over previous ones
held :. I'd I is believed Berlin will be
