timothy. harry vetch and an oil plant
called "Lallomentia iberioa."
Cereals are displayed with a chart
showing the yields OF tho season
which are very attractive and a
standing advertisement In favor OF
the Irrigation project now under con.
structlon. Fifteen varlties OF wheat
yielded better than so buBhols 90 the
acre, the highest boiug S4.7 and tho
lowest 500; ten yaritlcs on dry farm
plots went from 22 bushels to 4O.e
per acre which a. certainly good for
this method OF farming: oats on the
irrigated portions show out OF nine
voritios on display yields ranging
from f3.3 bushels TO 100 bushels per
acre; barley, the same number OF
varities are on display. the best be-
ing IIannchen which went better
than % bushels 10 the acre; rye is
another crop that is important to the
farmers OF this section. There are six
varities of winter rye on display
which yielded from II TO 81 bushels
to the acre: spring rye went aa high
as 3s.9 per acre.
Among the individual exhibits I'm
the garden and fam products that
have attracted favorable attention
and comment are; John Pick, n
homesteader In Catlow. who has one
OF tho finest little farms in the on
tire valley--we mean the portion he
can irrigate IN little. This exhibitor
has a variety or things that show
what can be done over In his coun.
try; fruit exhibits were made BY Mrs.
Fare. Mrs. Schwartz. Mrs. McDan-
tells, Phil Smith and others. The
fruit was not what II has been In the
past; we have tho fruit out on the
farms and IN the hooks around tho
foot hills but no Que seemed inclined
To bring Il In. w. ID. Huffman could
have a wonderful exhibit In the line
OF fruit had he been 30 inclined.
Others could have duplicated what
was on exhibition.
The large pumpkin OF Mrs. Me
keiyey's from Fields was another at-
traction. although there were other
pumpkins aud squash on display. this
one was no big one had TO see IL and
therefore comment. Some of the
other individual exhibits OF garden
and field were Mrs. Frankie Turner
and Mrs. Lupton; Clyde Embreo had
IA varied exhibit which included "a
fine lot OF corn. rye. water melons;
Jay Gould's popcorn looked mighty
good and Geo. Writings exhibit OF
alfalfa and native grasses were fine:
James Reel had nice exhibit and
one or two special features OF this
was a display Of peanuts and sorgum
cane.
MIR. Carpenter. the o. a. G. man
who judged the produce. said he vas
surprised TO find the var
iety OF exhibits. III isn't 30 much
what one sees In the unusual that
makes fair success, but the mar
ketable products that are exhibited.
Potatoes. corn. alfalfa. grain. sugar
beets and kindred products are what
count. and IL isn't the big speciman
that wins favor ON making the
awards; Il is quality, smoothness,
etc." said Mr.. Carpenter when dis
cussing the awards with the pavilion
Mrs. Jessie ID. McComb OF the q.
4. C. made the awards on the entries
II the ladies. the flowers, needle
work, cooking, the school work, art,
otc. This was no easy task by any
means as there was variety and
iome very fine work In every depart
mont.
The Times-Iierald Will make no
ittempt 10 give the premium winners
n the pavilion as the entry clerks
lad not been able 10 check up this
lorning
The livestock exhibits at the fair
made up In excellence what Il lacked
n numbers. We will not be able TO
