Slaugenhaupt First.
According to the entry numbers
handed out by the secretary, 189
different persons exhibited at the
Kennewick Fair this year. While
some departments were rather
shy on exhibits, the total number
of people exhibiting at the fair
indicate that there was a lot of
interest in the community. 1t was
regrettable that so much effort
had to be put into the building
program at the last minute, thai
attention to exhibits had to be
slighted. Another year, with as
much done as has been done, to-
ward the building program, the
stress can he placed upon the ex-
hibits and there is no question but
what the fair should be several
times larger than that of this
year.
1t is rather difficult to select
any one department as being out
standing. Probably the community
exhibits attracted as much atten-
tion as anything, and competition
between two Of these, was very
close. Finley Grange won the COM
munity exhibit with score of 70,
out of a possible 100. Richland was
second with ascore Of II, and VAL
ley took third place with q score
of 55. The score for each depart
ment for the Finley Grange was
as follows: Fruit, IL out of pos
sible 15; vegetables, 35 out of a
possible 40; grapes, out of pos
sible 10; dairy, z out of a possible
20; grain, 4-1/2 out of possible
5; home economics, 4 out of a pos
sible 5 and honey, 8 1/2 out Of a
possible 5.
The score for the Richland
community was as follows: fruit,
20 out of a possible 30; vegetables
81 out of possible 80; grapes, 8
out of a possible 10; dairy, out
of possible Is; grain, A out of q
possible S; home economics, 2 out
of possible s, and honey, out
E,of a possible 5.
I'm the individual farm exhibits,
the exhibit of J.. B. Slaugenhaupt
was all that COULD be asked for
at any fair. The exhibit was taste
fully arranged, and decorated, and
| included a wide variety of farm
products of good quality. The ex-
hibit of j. F. Perry in the same
department was very good as far
as quality Of products were con-
cerned, but Mr.. Perry did not have
the time to arrange for display
that was given 10y Mr.. Siaugen-
haupt.
The booth display of the Con-
gregational Ladies aid was an ex-
fcellent booth exhibit, and the ex-
hibits in the honey department
with live bees created consider
able interest. The commercial
booth of the p. p. & L. Co. at
tracted considerable interest and
was a. distinct credit to the fair.
The w. C. T. U. also had a booth,
from which they distributed lit
erature. Mrs. Lampson was in
charge of the booth.
The quality of products thru
out the fair was good. The fruit
exhibits always attract consider
able attention. The exhibits of 15
varieties of peaches, named and
and ripening dates given, prepar-
ed by Jay Perry was one of the
best exhibits in the fruit line. The
Highland Fruit Co. had a splendid
exhibit prepared by Cap Vickers
This exhibit included number of
varieties of tray displays. Grapes,
prunes, plums, pears, and apples
were all represented.
The vegetable display was good,
but more people should have brot
exhibits for this department.
Grain exhibits were rather small,
but some of very good quality
was exhibited.
The exhibits in the arts and
crafts, antiques and curios, fancy
work and home economics, were
good, but more people from the
community exhibiting would have
