'lumber of items, but rather to make the exhibit reflect the entire
farm operation.

and appealing to the eye. It should prove educational so that
practical lessons max x- drawn from it by farmers and others with
reference to farm and home management as well as production and
marketing practices.

sured down to the fifth place of a premium which will help defray
the expenses of bringing an exhibit to the fair.
