The Brogan people who had the oats that produced so heavi ly and the perfect ears of corn will select the best of their crop for seed aud another season will do better. The people who had the to matoes there had an opportun ity of seeing perfect tomatoes, filled so they will stand shipping even surface and the other es sential points and they will be able to improve on what they did this season. The exhibit from the Nyssa cheese factory will be a demon stration to many to go into the dairy business, not as an experi ment but as a sure way of mak ing better returns from their acres.
