Show DIXIE FRUITS AT STATE FAIR As will bo seen elsewhere in calums dixie took practically all prizes offered at tho state fair for decd fruits and nuts et there wag but one exhibitor the state fair comes rather late for dixie to make a representative showing of its fresh fruits except certain kinds of gracca nearly all fresh fruits are gone in dixie by the beginning of october so that it is impossible to make a goud showing of the various fruits grown hero at the state fair in their fresh state at the same time dixie should take a greater interest in the state fair than is now shown A display of grapes could bo made that would excel anything also shown in that line and if the other fruits could not be shown in their fresh state they could bo dried and tastefully boxed or shown in bottled form either way would help to advertise our dixie as incomparable for fruit growing we ought to take advantage of every opportunity that offers to advertise our resources and this annual state fair is one of the opportunities tuni ties that wo let slip by in the matter of transporting fruits intended for state fair exhibits tho railroads will bo found very generous and as good prizes are offered for each particular variety the exhibitor alio takes care to exhibit his fruits in tasty shape and good condition need bo nothing out of pocket and he may bo able to sell the goods after the exhibit is closed in addition to individual prizes for exhibits arc good prizes for county exhibits and w e think wash ington county should see to it that it is fairly at future state fairs now is alio time to think this over so that you may plan to make a strong showing at tho next fair and at succeeding fairs it is ad that bixio wants and it must not let up on its advertising if it wants to accomplish anything keep at it all the time and dont let a single opportunity pass wo publish in chis issue an article copied from the salt lake herald republican in which attention is drawn to the good work being done bv kenneth 0 karr tho district passenger agent of the salt lake route in establishing automobile lines to connect isolated places with the railroad the article is a good one and we appreciate the motive that prompted it but in one thing it errs and that is the cost of a good road from modena to kanab by way of st george it states that five dollars would make a perfectly good road from modena on the salt lako route to kanab when it was proposed to make an automobile road between st george and acoma on the salt lake route it was generally conceded that a good road could not be built for legs than 1350 A good road between st george and modena would not cost leae that is if it was made in good shape for automobile travel wo think five thousand dollars not five hundred was tho amount that wae intended in alic gioan article te ja |
