the exhibits, though not numerous,
were all Of a high class and in many
instances gave the judges little margin
in determining where to bestow the
different premiums. In the agricul-
tural display there were wheat SAM
Piles that run "a and 65 pounds to the
bushel, and some of the famous Val
ley county Grimm Alfalfa seed that
was par excellent. The showing of
grains, grasses and forage crops, was
surprisingly backed up with a dis
play of root crops and garden vege-
tables that would do credit to COM
munities that specialized on these pro-
ducts, making the observer believe
the truth that this county will grow
anything, and do it we'll, providing
the grower understands his business.
The poultry was also excellent,
showing that due attention is being
given to this very essential adjunct to
profitable farming. The sheep show
would be an addition to any fancy
stock show, while the display of blood
ed cattle and horses, was surprisingly
large and excellent.
The home canning demonstration
rightfully had the center of the stage
and attracted much intelligent atten-
ton. While the model irrigated farm
was another great drawing feature
which had a large body Of observers
around it all Of the time.
The woman's department including
domestic science exhibits, the art ex-
hibits, and the school exhibit, all tend
ed to demonstrate that Valley county
is not behind in the cultivation of
finer arts, and that in this phase of
culture the women of the county will
rank with those anywhere. The Red
Cross was present equipped for emer-
gencies and as a whole the
ment of the ladies end of the fair was
eminently successful.
Among the amusements Chef Jacob
son and his Curtiss plane, came in for
the lions share of praise and enjoy
ment. His daily flights were watched
with interest by everyone, as they in
cluded most of the death defying
stunts that have done so much to ad-
vance the cause of science, and have
proved so fatal to many Of his pre-
decessors, as aces, in peace and war.
Aside from being a wizard in the air,
Chef is a companionable young man,
and both himself and wife are social
favorites. The auto races were good
and the auto polo tensely interesting.
The races in charge of Superinten-
dent Ira Tourtlotte, proved to be a
leading feature of the meeting. There
were many entries for most of the
events, and close competitions; there
was no hint of anything crooked and
the "sport of kings" was clean and
strictly on the square. There was
good sport, the best horse winning.
High lights Of the track program are
given in the following partial.

occasion, with plenty of amusement
for old and young and many remained
in town over night and enjoyed the

faction expressed at the hospitality of
