they had come in contact with so far
this season.
Particularly interesting were the dis
plays of fruits, apples, cherries and
plums. For section, supposed to be
dramatically not suited for fruits, the
showing made was the marvel of those
visiting the fair and especially on the
part of strangers from more southern
sections.
The grape, raspberry and strawberry
displays were commented on by our
guests who claimed them of the finest
in size, coloring and flavor, second to
none grown anywhere. The prize Win
ming apples entered by Frank Lindgren
and Mrs. Stenlund told of the watchful
care needed to save the fruit and even
the trees from youthful vandals.
The potato displays were not up to
the usual high standard. OUTSIDE OF
the display of the "Nonesuch," the new
potato developed by A. E. Berglund,
and showings of Carmen, Chippewa and
one or two other brands, the displays
were nothing to rave about. In speak
ing to one of the exhibitors, he stated
that the prizes offered for potatoes were
not commensurate with the time and
labor necessary for making an exhibit.
He stated that 1t is necessary to dig
nearly five bushels of potatoes in order
to get enough for noticeable showing.
The flower display this year ex-
ceeded all expectations and was pro-
nounced the best ever. Gladiolas seemed
to predominant and many were the
varieties and coloringS shown.
The showings made by the All club,
who were given special table on which
to display their offerings in vegetables,
sewing and canning, attracted much at
tention and was pronounced better than
ever with a more comprehensive dis
play than heretofore shown denoting
more enthusiasm and training as time
advances.
A display that held the crowds was
the needlework and fancy foods display
by the ladies. Quilts We'd with each
other for first place as did also the
home made dresses, table linen, knit
and crochet articles, embroideries, rugs,
wall hangings and other handiwork.
Closing the very successful exhibition
and entertaining the assemblage for the
evening on Friday was the music of the
Ely Municipal Band under the direction
of Frank v. DiNino.
