Show - i BRIEF COMMENT ON THE FAIR The dry land exhibit was the center of interest in tho agricultural agricul-tural department, the products shown being a revelation in both size and quality.surpassing many of the products grown by irrigation. irriga-tion. Potatoes, corn, wheat, oats, barley, and squash, were among the products in this department, de-partment, and all would compare with similar kinds grown any where. The educational section sec-tion was full of interest, the children's art and domestic science sci-ence displays attracting especial attention. The fruit display was not up to expectations, either in amount or quality, fruit growers grow-ers apparently taking little interest in-terest in that feature. The live stock display was all jthat could be xpected. More than ordinary credit is due Representative Rep-resentative Wilford Day for the large display fo fine sheep. Mr. Day had a large pen from his farm near Parowan. The ladies' department was as complete as any, and the exh ib-its ib-its formed one of the greatest attractions of the fair. A number of special exhibits contributed to the interest and attractive- ncss of the fair, including a number of foreign displays. The races, while not as good as they might have been, owing to tho fact that soveral horse owners refused to enter their horses at the last minuto because be-cause tho committee would not make all the concessions demanded, de-manded, yet they wore as good as were ever witnessed in this part of tho statu. A number of objections were heard respecting some features of the fair, but these will bo-taken bo-taken up at a later dete, in tho interest of future fairs. |
