Zenith EMPLOYEES
GARDEN EXHIBIT.
MINIATURE COUNTY FAIR AT
THE COMMUNITY CENTER
FINE EXHIBIT.

The second annual garden ex-
hibit of the employees of the Yer
million Mining Company was held
Monday at the Community Center
and attracted a crowded building
of visitors all afternoon and even
ing. While the exhibit last year
was large and varied and comprised
about the same line of products as
this years showing, it was not
iceable fact that the exhibits Mon
day were larger, better as to quail
ity and heater as to display, show
ing that the exhibitions are having
the effect of squirting the gardeners
towards better vegetables, flowers
and fruits.
Early in the season the company
procured tested seed potatoes for
their employees and to show what
good seed does for the potato
grower, it must be stated that
the exhibit of potatoes this year
was at least fifty per cent better
than last year. The potatoes Sc
cured by the company were of the
Irish Cobbler variety and the crops
dug from this seed were more uni
form in size, clean and healthy ap-
pearing without scab. Besides the
fine showing of potatoes, the ex-
hibits of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers,
carrots, beets, cabbages, celery,
Swiss chard, rutabagas, canned veg
etables and pickles, drew particular
attention.
Much interest was displayed in
making the exhibit by the employees
and those who viewed the showing
were loud in their praises of the
exhibit. Prizes were awarded and
first, second and third prizes were
given The judges were Supt. II.
E. White, Martin Skala and William
Mitchell. With the vast array of
exhibits the judges had no easy job
