The 1920 Red River Valley Winter
Show, held at Crookston last week,
has passed into history, breaking all
former records. 1t stands as an in
disputable evidence of the productive
ness Of the valley and monument to
the spirit of cooperation among the
people Of the valley as u whole, with
out which spirit it would have been
impossible to build the large pavilion
and its spacious annex. One could not
view the excellent exhibits of corn,
grain and potatoes without being i'm
pressed with the fact that farmers are
beginning to specialize to high degree
and are using scientific judgment in
their farm operations. The showing Of
stock, when considering not only num-
bers and varieties but also the out
standing high quality that was general
throughout the show, a revelation to
the person who is accustomed to think
of the Red River Valley as excelling
only in the production of grain. When
one considers that prominent breeders
from all parts of the state and neigh
boring states as well, came to buy
foundation breeding stock at the sales,
one realizes that the valley has made
tremendous progress and is up in the
front ranks in the breeding Of all lines
= of live stock as well.
The live stock show and sales were
tremendous successes and exceeded
even the fondest hopes of the men in
charge. The pavilion and the large new
show barn was filed to overflow with
stock. The sales totalled over $1O0, 600
as compared with $4,000 last year.
i Great interest was taken in the judging
and sales. The large pavilion with its
increased seating capacity was well
filed at all times.
