ished compliments and praise unto
those who carried the burden and
spent their time without any COM
pensation to make the exposition
what it was.
For four days and nights the
audience was entertained with music
both instrumental and vocal besides
speaking and instructive and inter-
esting lectures on Farm garden and
orchard subjects.
The second exposition of agricul-
tural and horticultural products was
held in November 1913.
The show was held in the same
building as the first one the pre-
sent Adams Seed Co., and was fully
up to the first show in every way.
Here follows what one visitor said
about the show. 'The Winneshiek
County Horticultural Society's sec
ond annual exposition came to close
Friday night at Marsh's hall and set
a record for exhibits of the farm,
orchard and garden that will be hard
to beat. 1t was simply amazing to
see the wonderful displays of APP
pies, vegetables, corn, grain and
plants, all grown right at our very
doors. Those who visited the show
were amply repaid for the time spent
for they saw much to interest them
and learned one thing that good old
county soil has no rival

resembled the Agricultural building
at the State Fair only on a smaller
scale.
At the four days program that was
carried out there was singing, music,
recitations and many addresses, one
by the late Prof. c. X. Preus, of
Luther College, and one by the Hon;
H. I. Helgeson of n. D. The third
exposition was held in the fall OF
1915, this time in connection with

DEBORAH PUBLIC OPINION, DEBORAH, IOWA

the annual meeting Of the North
Eastern Iowa Horticultural society
which brought many from other
parts OF Iowa and Minnesota here.
1t was held in the first story of the
Adams Seed Co. and proved a great
success and grand affair in every
respect.
At the first two shows a small adj
mission fee was charged but at the
third show everything was free and
the public made good use of such a
privilege seldom accorded a commun-
ity.
| quote the following from the
Minneapolis Tribune by Mr.. G.
Wedge of Albert Lea, MINI.
] have just returned from a hor-
ticultural festival held at DEBORAH,
Iowa, in honor of the meeting of the
Northeastern Iowa Horticultural So
ciety. 1t was of the most hospitable
and happy occasions of the kind that
/ ever had the good fortune to at
tend and, it seems to me that hund-
reds of such festivals ought to be
held all over the country, each year,
as the harvests and fruit gatherings
of the season are completed. As
people we are getting so sordid
in our desires and so greedy of gain
that we are leaving out of our lives
much that makes them worth living
and that former generations and less
civilized people have commonly en-
joyed. The county fair is about all
that is left of such community ga
therings and is generally recognized
as one Of the most useful institu-
tons of the country.
The county horticultural meetings
and flower show is something just
as much needed in its way and if it
could be carried out as it was at
DEBORAH, it would be an inspiration
to better things in any community.
The ground floor of the double store
building was provided free of cost by
the citizens, two thirds of it taken up
with tables filled with fruits, flowers
and vegetables and the remaining
space filled with chairs for the meet
ings. The floor was nicely covered
with saw dust so that the noise of
persons coming and going was kept
at a minimum.
The premiums were not large but
of such character as to bring out
a plenty of good tempered rivalry
and samples of almost everything
produced in the country from house
plants to pumpkins.
The walls and ceiling were taste
fully decorated with evergreen
boughs and all made up the impress
sion of a festive occasion"

some day the people of this locality
will wake up and realize what you
people have done, possibly a hundred
years from now they will be erect
ing monuments to commemorate your
n9hle efforts and work as horticul-
turists."
The ability to perform its duties
and carry out its purpose depends
largely on the generosity and support
received from the community, and
it would be encouraging if as many
within the hearing of the works who
are not already members would join.
The society decided to go a little
beyond the ordinary this time in ar
ranging this feast and celebration,
being as you have heard the 18th an
niversary of its eXistance.
We ventured to do this believing
we would not be disappointed by a
generous increase of membership, re-
member that to be member means
more than just to attend the meet
ings.
You will for the small annual
fee of so cents receive copy of the
State Horticultural report book
which sometimes run into 500 or 600
pages containing most always many
fine illustrations.
The only other way this book can
be secured is by joining the state Soc
iety which costs one dollar, the book
is not for sale and can not be bought
but by subscribing so cents for mem
bership in our society you receive it
free of charge.
Our society is if / have been cor
rectly informed the only county hor-
ticultural society in this state and
is recognized by the state society as
an important organization in pro-
noting the growing of fruits and best
use possible out of what can be truly

Faithful Horse Believed To Be
Returning To Place In Industry

During the last five years we have
past through one of the most trying
periods in the history Of the horse
industry" says II. f. Lubbeilusen,
veterinarian, North Dakota expert
almost every conceivable make and
design of motor vehicle was put be-
fore the public and received Il just
and thorough trial to determine
whether or not the horse was to be
replaced as the economical factor In
industry and agricultural production.
As we emerge from this competitive
era let us gather facts as they are to
determine whether or not the horse
should again take the place it once
held as a source of motive power as
we'll as factor in the breeding and
livestock markets of the country.
''1n summing up these facts we find
that during the past four or five
years farmers and stockmen have cur
tailed and in many cases wholly ceas-
ed horse production. This may be
explained in part on the grounds of
the motor craze which appealed to
the average farmer as the avenue to
source of power, and in part because
of the corresponding depression in the
horse market. Breeders Of pure-bred
horses who should have carried on
promptly refused to breed their danes
on the plea Of a fallen market and the
extreme uncertainty Of future sales.
The result has been that in the North
west today we are facing lack of
pure-bred and high grade draft horses
which within the next four or five
years is going to amount to an acute
shortage, for undeniably the agricul
turalist is slowly returning to the horse
for the solution of his farm power
problems.
"This change, gradual though it is.
Is due in part to the fact that to date,
no tractor put before the public can
compete with horse power over Il per-
iod Of four years. Again, never before
has it been necessary for the farmer
to figure on dollars and cents basis.
We have arrived at the place where
1t has become necessary to part down
excessive overhead expense 1t is not
the writer's intention nor will space
permit a comparison Of the adapta-
bility or farm power cost Of the trac-
tor and horse. may il suffice at pres
ent to say that the latter passed
through an acid test during the per-
lod from which we are now emerging
and was not found wanting
"DiSregarding for time the mat
ter Of farm power, let us turn our at
tention to the market value of pure
bred and high grade horses. I refer
to these classes because they are the
ones which merit consideration. De-
spite three successive crop failures,
stringent financial conditions and
generally depressed market, the we'll
bred, typy, draft horse is present
selling in Eastern market and at com
nunity farm sales at prices which
give the gratifying Indication that this
type of animal is becoming more and
more in demand. During the past win
ter the farmers Of eastern North Da-
hota have marketed several car loads
IF horses which brought an average
