Splendid Exhibits Interest Crowds At County Fair
The county fair drew large crowds over four days as New London residents dominated several divisions. John Akistrom and Thomas Nelson won blue ribbons for ten ear seed corn and related crops, while garden produce, melons, cabbage, potatoes, peppers, and butter displays received high praise despite a weaker corn showing due to a backward season. Farm clubs and rural schools offered strong entries, with Svea, Green Lake, Sunny Side, Golden Rod, and South Edwards placing in the farm club contest.
