FARMERS WHO EXCELLED
 IN DISPLAYS AT THE FAIR
(From Wednesdays Daily)


 I Arizona state fair, in the agricultural Q department, is a mark of credit to the , growers of Yavapai county. Few ? people realize the importance at e tached to ;le selection of exhibits, wien entered for competition. To the = farmers of the Verde district special l mention is given, for the reason that r ii is difficult to collect fruit and vege- 7 tables at the happy season, when : they can be displayed at the state ! fair. II the fruit is picked a little green and hard, which is necessary , with some varieties, in order to have them entered, it means that perhaps , they will be a little off in color; and again picked at the height of the season, when in full color, means that !. by the time they are unpacked for exhibition. they are liable to have spoiled in transit.
 Three outstanding features tell the story why Yavapai county has been fable in six out of seven years to cap Iture the first prize with all of the Arizona counties competing: the gen Ieral diversity of the products grown in this county; the excellence there of and the splendid work of the grow CTS and the fair commissioner in se- lecting and caring for the same.
