HAD A FAIR
Exhibits Surprised Everyone In
Variety And Quality.
WILL REPEAT NEXT YEAR
Maple Glen School Won First
Prize And Locust Grove

even a preSenLaDie exhibition OF
farm products, was unthought
Of until about a month and a
half ago when the matter was
brought up in the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Production
Division was told to "go to it,
Claude F. Pack, chairman Of
this division, took matters in
hand and with the assistance Of
members Of his committee
brought the matter to a definite
and successful conclusion on Fri
day and Saturday of last week.
The farmers were as much
unprepared for the undertaking
as Mr.. Pack and. his commit
tee, but a hearty cooperation
developed everywhere and when
the exhibits were all placed it
was found to be a very fine dis
play. Most everything produced
on the farm was shown together
with knitting, embroidery, sew
ing and what not. William Coen
added to the variety of Lafay-
cite county's productiveness by
exhibiting two large lemons
grown upon his own trees,
The apple display especially
that of the Locust Grove school
would hold its own in any show.
The competition among the
schools was keen. The judges
IN alrjyipg at q decision consid-
cred first, artistic appearance !;
second, the number of varieties
exhibited; third, quality of the
exhibit, and fourth, the number
of red and blue ribbons won. All
were finally eliminated but Lo-
Gust Grove, Maple Glen, Hazel
Hill, and Marshall. From these
four they chose Maple Glen first
and Locust Grove, second.
