Visitors to the fair this Sesr:a fifaffyS
Of whom have attended all the big.
expositions given so far this summer}
declare that the Grand Forks show is
the best they have seen. Every de-
partment has come in for its share OF
praise. The machinery show, COM
plete in every detail, is attracting an;
exceptionally large number of visitors
this year. The live stock show, OF
course, is one of the big features.
Each year this show has broken all
previous records in the state, and this
year is no exception. The '.pleasing
feature of it is that North Dakota
breeders each year return with high
er quality cattle. !.
A new feature in the Liberal Arts
building this year is the United States
Department of Agricultural exhibit
on the top floor. 1t is the most COM
prehensive agricultural exhibit ever
seen on the grounds, and it is worthy
of visit, for it is an education in it,
