The News editor returned from
Albuquerque yesterday morning
whither he accompanied the Es
tancia Valley display, ine ex
hibit compares very favorably
with others on display at the
First State Fair, and while geath
ered hurriedly on account of the
heavy rains of last week, there
will, in our opinion, be some pre
miums coming to the farmers of
the valley who contributed pro
ducts to add to the display. The
exhibit drew many words of com
ment, especially from those from
irrigated sections, who would not
believe that such products could
be grown without irrigation.
Especially is this true of the corn
and grain exhibit. The Estancia
Valley can show the goods and
hold its head as high as any sec
tion of the new state.
The display of art sent to the
First State Fair from Torrance
county, under the supervision of
Mrs. James Walker is not behind
that of other sections of the
state. Mrs. Albright, superin"
tendent of this department of the
work, had only words of praise
for the work of our ladies which
proves that we have a number of
artisti among our ladies. This is
the first year that this work has
been shown extensively at the
Fair, and bids well to become
more interesting year by year.
The display of Domestic Science
products made the editor's mouth
water.
