Big Things
p tanned For
Farm Night
Outlook is Indeed Promising
for Many Fine Exhibits
At Club Meeting.
THREE ORGANIZATIONS
ARE COOPERATING

The favorable response of the
community to the Farmers Night
meeting of last year has encouraged
the Commercial Club to sponsor
similar meeting at the Moose hall
on Thursday, October 81 1t is be-
lived that the display can be greatly
enlarged and generous response
from the merchants In contributing
prizes now assures another success
full meeting. A request has been
made OF the State College, Bozeman,
for a speaker familiar with farm
problems.
When this matter was suggested to
the members of the Libby Farm
Woman's club, they Immediately in
dictated their interest and pledged
their co operation and support. They
will supervise the collection and the
display of exhibits. Mrs. Julia
Beebe, president of the Club, has
appointed Mrs. Fred Manicke, a
club representative, to receive and
list exhibits and Mrs. A. c. Herbst
as publicity chairman. To the list
of garden, orchard and field pro-
duce shown last year has been added
classes in poultry, in home baking,
fruit and vegetable canning and
needlework. The display exhibited
by the Farm Woman's Club at Kali
ispell is proof that this community
could stage an excellent fair of
their own.
Necdlcwork Exhibit
Several exhibits of needlework in
the last few years have demonstrat-
ed the interest in this line. Displays
will run from quilts and large pieces
to embroidery and smaller sets. The
amount of good poultry stock in this
district is a surprise to any per-
son not familiar with the situation.
Probably the fowls section will be
divided into two departments, that
of the strictly egg laying strain and
the dual purpose breeds. One
rooster and two hens will constitute
an exhibit. Turkeys and ducks as
we'll as special classes of birds will
be included. A baked goods section
is always popular and the canning
exhibit should bring out good ma
terial. A miscellaneous section will
be provided for all exhibits of merit
that cannot be classified in the
above.
The Commercial Club plans to
erect pens for the poultry display
and tables and racks will be pro-
vided for the other exhibits. The
Moose hall will be open all day on
Thursday, October 81, and compel
ent persons will be in charge Of the
listing and arrangements of the
produce.
The competitive feature ADDS zesI
to any agricultural display but Il
is a secondary consideration. The
main object of the meeting will be
to demonstrate what our commun-
ity can produce on the farms anc
in the farm homes. A dinner viii
be served about $50 by the Presby-
terian Aid for 35 cents and enter
tainment featuring musical numbers
will precede the judging and the
get-to-together visit of the evening
Circular letters have been sent Il
the farmers adjacent to Libby bu

ton to exhibit for anyone either il
the country or in the town.
