THE MAIN BUILDING
AT THE COUNTY FAIR
Many Interesting Exhibits Were
Housed in the Big
Auditorium.
The exhibits in the main building
were good and the arrangement was
the best yet made. The ladies' fancy
work department occupied the stage
as usual and the fruit exhibit was in
front of the stage.
The vegetables and grain depart
ments occupied the full length of the
north wall and made a fine appear
ance. The corn show was good. Mr.
Crane, the Great Northern agricultu
ral agent, made arrangements for a
quantity of seed corn from the win
ning exhibitors. David Swenson
showed some alfalfa of three cuttings
The Kandiyohi County Farm Bur
eau had an interesting exhibit. The
main feature was a model miniature
farm with buildings and rotating crop
fields laid out. A seed corn rack, lit
erature for distribution and a tele
phone for public use were on hand.
The State Farm had a booth hand
somely arranged showing agricultural
products. The matron of the woman's
department showed samples of the
fancy work done at the institution
which were most creditable.
The Minneapolis School of Teleg
raphy had a booth on the north side,
which furnished information about
its work.
Mr. Croak, of the Willmar Green
House, made a splendid showing at
the fair this year. This is a growing
Willmar institution, and its booth at
tracted much favorable comment.
The Willmar Associated Schools
made an exhibit which was a credit
to the faculty. A fine front had been
designed by the manual training de
partment and the contents of the
booth was a study worth while all cy
itself. Lessons in germination of
seeds, selection of seed corn, light
wells under magnifying glasses em
phasizing importance of clean seed
were special features. Work of the
students displayed showed great pro
gress.
The Willmar Tribune booth was lo
cated next, and many souvenirs were
handed out here Adjoining was the
booth of Olson Bros, photographers,
with a fine display of views and por
traits.
The cooking department was well
up to the average. Mrs Sanderson
said that the young lady and children
exhibitors showed great improvement
in cooking and canning ovei previous
years Samples of cooking done with
a fireless cooker attracted attention
They included bread, cakes, beans and
meat loafs, and were shown by Mrs
L. Smith and Mrs. Hallis McDon
ald.
The Globe Electric & Specialty Co,
of Minneapolis showed a farm electric
light and power plant, and was busy
demonstrating its utility to visitors.
Bartles-Scott Oil Company of Will
mar had a neat display of their goods,
and Mr. W. E. Scott was there much
of the time to meet visitors and make
friends for this splendid new enter
prise at Willmar.
The State Forestry Booth was in
charge of Mr. Winslow, one of the
state fire wardens. Mr. Winslow was
most enthusiastic over the grounds
and arxangement of exhibits. He said
this was the seventh fair he visited
this year, and the best arranged cf
any of them. He urged everyone to
vote for the State Forests Amend
ment at the coming election.
The Presbyterian Ladie. sold all
their cook books in their booth, and
were wishing they had ordered a larg
er edition.
William Elkjer made a superb
showing of portraits, and his display
was most neatly arranged.
Gilbert O. Sand, the enterprising
clothier, made a creditable showing of
suits and furnishings. The booth was
an artistic conception which repres
ented much labor and pains by the
boys of this store.
The Willmar Seminary had a hand
some booth where catalogs and other
literature advertising the school was
handed out.
The flower booth was fine and was
arranged in a triangular shape near
the entrance.
The county schools made a good
showing. Supt. Frederickson reported
the pupils of the following districts
having exhibits there: School Dis
trict Nos. 7, 37, 47, 14, 24, 26, 34, 35,
39, 42, 44, 45, 48, 55, 70, 82, 87 and 101.
About $158 in cash were paid out cf
which No. 7 (New London) drew the
largest amount of prizes. One of the
interesting features of th*3 booth was
the buttonhole which won first prize
at the state fair. This was worked by
Miss Francis Broman of Dist. No. 39.
The fourth prize was taken by Ade
laide Holm of the same district.
The Svea School had a fine display
which had been arranged by Henry
Johnson and Miss Ebba Ferson, and
reflected credit on these efficient
teachers.
Supt. John Wicklund was delighted
with the showing made in the Fruit
department. In spite of it being an
off year and about half of the fruit
area of the county being damaged by
hail the showing at the tali was well
up to the average. Minnesota will
soon compete with California in
plums. An offspring from Plum No.
•^,^-b*-
"J**"*
12 of the State Breeding Station had
been grafted onto a compass tree by
C. C. Selvig. The fruit is large and
luscious. Mr. Hill took a sample of
the new plum with him. H. B. Peter
son of Atwater made a splendid show
ing with many varieties of apples. His
bushel box of Wealthies shown are as
good as anything ever shipped here
from the coast. The editor knows for
he bought them and took them home
at the close of the fair.
The Willmar Music Co., Lewis Nor
gren, proprietor had one of Edison's
latest diamond point disc phonographs
which gave selections from time
time.
Farm Club Booth*.
One of the most attractive features
at the Kandiyohi County Fair was the
exhibits of the farm clubs. Four of
these organizations were represented
and the quality of their products as
well as the artistic arrangement of
the booths was a pleasure to see. Bat
the most gratifying thing in connec
tion with these farm club e:vhibits was
the splendid spirit of co-operation and
enterprise which actuated the young
men and women who were back of the
undertaking. It seems to us that
these booths were but an outward ex
pression of the new progressive agri
cultural spirit which is springing up in
our county and state. When young
farmers will spend of their time, labor
and money with no expectation of re
ward except the satisfaction of being
pushers of a good thing, it speaks well
for them and for the future develop
ment of agricultural interests in our
county.
The blue ribbon was v/on by the
Sunnyside Farm Club, an active or
ganization of the western part of
Whitefleld and eastern portion of Ed
wards. Their display certainly put
"Sunnyside" on the map, as every one
inquired "where is Sunnyside located
anyway?" A shield of timothy se*»d
with the name of the club in barley
adorned the front and contained a pic
ture of thir school house and under
was their motto: "We are on the sun
ny side." Besides the officers of the
club, who are Axel T. Johnson, Jerry
Bouska, Chas. Eddy and John Bengt
son, the following members, Helge
Nelson, Ella Nelson, Helga Nelson and
Elvina Knott, assisted in putting in
exhibit.
The "South Edwards Alfalfa Club"
made a most splendid showing in
quality of exhibits, especially is this
true of their corn. They were a live
bunch of young farmers anc" the only
thing that hindered their carrying off
a prize was that not having carefully
read over the terms' governing the
scoring they have omitted domestic
art and preserves, or, as they them
selves expressed it, "failed to call in
the Ladies' Aid" They are game,
however, for next year. The officers
of the club are C. E Reed, president,
H. Reed, secretary Mrs. W Van Bur
en, treasurer. Mr. Van Buren, Albert
Van Buren, Wm. Strokman and Wm.
Onnen, together with the officers had
charge of the work of putting in the
display.
The Svea Farmers' Club made a fine
showing and had a beautiful display,
coming within two points of high
score. The committee in charge of
the work was Henry Johnson, Harold
Nelson, James Mattson, Reuben Ryd
en, Fred Norling, and Miss Ebba Per
son.
New London Farmers' Club was
awarded third prize. They had come
probably the longest distance and tho
they arrived last they had "good
stuff" with them and in short order
arranged an excellent exhibit. The
committee in charge was Alvln Ogren,
Prof A E. Nelson and E. G. Shoad
On the empty booth Saturday night
they had left this placard: "Gone
home to New London but will be back
next year."

of the Minnesota State Fair, Mr.
Crane, his agricultural agent, and oth
ers. A brief ride about the city brot
the party to the grounds where Mr.
Hill made a hurried visit thru the ex
hibits which he pronounced to be
"very good." He complimented the
committee on the commodious auditor
ium and the natural beauty of the
grounds, fca the meantime the band
had playep on the track and large
crowd hadjgathered on the side hill
awaiting Mp. Hill's coming. The auto
drew up in .front of the crowd and Mr.
Hill at once launched into his address
He spoke ^luntly and to the point,
urging the farmers to conserve their
farms instead of wearing them out.
He spoke frbout forty minutes. His
reference to the politicians who are
long on promises but do nothing to
help the people was applauded by the
crowd.
The stockt parade passed as Mr. Hill
was talking* and at the close of his
address the stockmen were introduc
ed Messrs. Henry Boese and Dan
Haley have experimental plats farmed
under Mr. Hill's direction and he
questioned them on this subject. The

STOCK EXHIBITS
WERE BEST EYEB
Them to the^County Fair
In Large Numbers.
The barns and tents provided for
the stock exhibits at the County fair
were inadequate to house the exhib
its. There were 90 head of thoro
bred cattle and 43 horses, repre
senting the leading breeds. Nothing
at the fair emphasized more strongly
the progress made in good farming'
than this showing. Great interest was
taken in the show of stock end the
judging was witnessed by large
crowds of interested farmers. The
following are the breeders exhibiting
stock:
Mr. Stone's head of sixteen prize
Holsteins occupied the first tent in
the stock show by themselves. They
were kept in the pink of condition and
attracted much favorable comment.
Thirteen of the animals had won
prizes at the State Fair. The exhibit
was in charge of Chas. Burgess and
Fred Ashman.
In the cattle pens C. O. Bergquist's
Herefords and C. A. Berg's Shorthorns
vied with each other in the admira
tion they won from visitors, where
they were penned side by side. Mr.
Bergquist had seven thorobred Here
fords and two baby beeves. Mr. Berg
showed a herd of seven thorobred
Shorthorns. Alfred Blomquist had
two head of Shorthorns on exhibition.
C. A. Syverson of Lake Andrew had
a herd of fifteen Jerseys on exhibition.
This is the first showing of a Jersey
herd at our county fair, and it was a
most creditable one, and the public
interest shown by Mr. Syverson in
bringing them down from the far
north is most commendable.
The big cattle tent was filled to ov
erflowing. The showing there invari
ably drew an exclamation of surprise
from the visitors. Syverson's Jerseys
were nearest the north entrance.
The next herd on the right was Hen
ry Johnson's herd of Black Polled Ab
erdeen-Angus—seven splendid speci
mens which fully sustainod the repu
badIswonettt
previous county fairs Thi -th
third year that Mr. Johnson has brot
in an exhibit of Black Polls from his
Diamond Lake farm in the east side
of the county, and his enthusiasm for
the opportunity that the county fair
brings to him is increasing every year
He never ceases boosting the fair and
urges all progressive farmers to be
come interested. Another splendid
herd of Polled Angus wis shown by
Robert Tait and Dan Halev, nine head.
The Black Poll people were greatly
pleased by the preference shown their
breed by James J. Hill on the occas
ion of his visit.
There were three splendid herds of
Kandiyohi County Holstein-Friesian
cattle. The State Farm showed a herd
of six thorobreds, the pride of Farm
Manager T. J. Sampson. Olaus An
derson had eleven head of thorobreds
that made a fine showing. Rob't.
Thompson showed ten head of prize
Holsteins, some with remarkable milk
records, and the rivalry was close and
keen among the enthusiasts for this
breed of dairy cattle which has the
lead in this community.
The sheep pens contained speci
mens from the herds of John Blom
quist and John S. Anderson.
August Jordin, the Poland China
hog breeder of New London, was on
hand as usual with his prize porkers.
Hog cholera has no terrors for him,
although the prevalance ot the epi
demic prevented a big general show
ing of hogs at the fair.
The Horse*.
The big horsebarn was usually
crowded with visitors admiring the
animals on exhibition.
J. S. Anderson's showing included
eight thorobred Percherons, one grade
Percheron mare, one standard bred
trotting stallion and one standard
bred trotting filly.
Maier Bros., of the Highland Farm
in Harrison, showed six head of thoro
bred Morgan horses—two stallions,
two mares and two foals also two
grade Percheron mares, three years
old.
Hegstrom Bros, of Svea showed two
2-year-old grade Percherons.
J. P. Madison exhibited two thoro
bred Percheron stallions, one stand
ard bred trotting stallion and one
Jack.
John Blomquist had one grade Per
cheron mare and colt and one Welsh
pony.
C. O. Bergquist showed one thoro
bred Percheron filly one year old and
one grade filly two years.
P. J. Haley exhibited one thorobred
Percheron stallion and four grades.
One draft team was shown by Alfred
Blomquist.
Shetland ponies were shown by
Lloyd Osmundson and B. Y. McNairy.
The stock parade on Saturday dur
ing Mr. Hill's speech was an- eye-op
ener to all who had not visited the
stock show. The line,of animals head
ed by a large flag extended a distance
of nearly a half mile. The stock, par
ades are sure to become annual events
and the track gives the opportunity
to put it on so all can see it
The poultry exhibit crowded- the
tent to its full capacity. The prixe
winners will be published next week.
An exhibit of 8* fowls by Mens Fles
land thru an oversight failed to be en
tered, which is a matter of great re
gret by the board.
