VALLEY EXHIBIT MAY BRING
HOME PRIZES FROM THE
HELENA FAIR.
REPRESENT ALL DIVISIONS
Exhibits Will Be Shown by Classifi-
cation Instead of Booths for
Each County as Customary
in the Past.

The Valley county agricultural ex-
hibit for the State fair left this morn
ing by express. The exhibit was
gathered by Fred Weigle, advisory
member of the State Fair board for
Valley county, and consisted of six
very large boxes, perhaps weighing
approximately ton. This is the first
time in the history of Valley county
that the exhibits for the county have
been shipped by express. The only
reason that they were shipped by ex-
press was due to the fact that the
State Fair has changed somewhat in
the method of displaying the exhibits.
Under the old program each county
had booth of it's own and had to go
to considerable expense in decorating
the booth and in taking large part
of it's exhibit for display purposes only
Under the present plan it is much
more efficient and satisfactory from
the standpoint of exhibiting on the
part of the county as well as the part
of transportation and less labor in
putting up the exhibit.
The present plan calls for all ex.
hibits to be grouped together accord
ing to class and lot. That is, all Mar
quis wheat from all over the state
will be in one booth and all of the po
tatoes from all over the state will bt
in one booth, and thus the whole fail
will be classified. In this way M
county has to go to the expense O
decorating and maintaining booth a
the State Fair grounds. This chang
in the system of handling exhibits a
the fair has changed the method o
sending in exhibits, for at the presen
there is no need of sending any ex
hibit to the fair expect those to b
placed upon the judges table and whic
are expected to receive prize. There
fore Mr.. Weigle deemed it advisable t
concentrate his efforts in getting onl
:, first class exhibits and only few
!, number and playing the fair with e,
!, hibits that are promising when the
= come before the judge. The number c
y entries that Mr.. Weigle sent in thi
. week Wednesday to the State Fai
!, was approximately 1913 but they wer
:. exhibits that he will be proud of whe
. they are placed on the table for re
wards.
9 The people who sent in exhibits t
. the State Fair can congratulate then
selves in having an old hand like M
l. Weigle to care for and look after tt
IL exhibits at the fair. Mr.. Weigle he
" missed but one State Fair since he hs
e been in the state and if anyone know
e how to prepare exhibits for keen con
: petition it is Mr.. Weigle.
