Brush College A g a in
W in n e r at the F air
The habit o f Brush College in
getting first place in the community
exhibit at the Polk County fa ir was
j too strong to be overcome and
Monmouth had to content itself
with third. Mt. Pisgah was second.
All three were first class exhibits,
however and Monmouth was only
short eight points o f a tie with the
leader.
Brush College makes a specialty
o f its agricultural exhibit; starts
out for next year’s exhibit immedi­
ately after fair time and with the
work parceled out to individuals
who can do it best they did not ov­
erlook anything. Their exhibit was
especially strong on canned goods
and the display was well arranged
to bring this out.
Mt. Pisgah was strong on grains,
grasses, vegetables and fru it and
for an entirely farm community had
a fine exhibit.
While the Monmouth booth was
a sort o f last minute effort, it
served to demonstrate the dormant
possibilities o f this section to g e t
together specimens o f fru it, vege­
tables, farm products, etc., at
short
notice.
The Monmouth
Creamery dispensed buttered crack­
ers and buttermilk to visitors to the
booth the last two days o f the fa ir.
Mrs. W. J. Stockholm was in charge
o f the booth.
Independence had a very good
exhibit, with a large bale o f hops,
with friu t, creamery products, veg­
etables and poultry products.
R. H. Smith of the Standard
Poultry farm had ajfine selection o f
his choice sto k o f White Leghorns
on exhibit and Wm. Riddell & Sons
were also almost the whole works
when it came to sheep and goata.
The secretary that the last year’ s
student body elected, resigned, and
at a student body meeting this week
Horace Butler was chosen to fill the
vacancy.
