Republican’s Products Exhibit Has Some Interesting Additions.

The Republican will be able to have a very nice exhibit of products if our friends continue to bring in samples of their agricultural prowess. A day or two ago Mel Thornton brought in a radish that he had permitted to go to seed. It is more than a foot in length and about 15 inches in circumference. It is not recommended to be solid through and through but is probably hollow or filled with peth, but it is a mighty big radish and will be hard to beat for size. Today J. F. Bruner brought down from DeMotte, where special attention is paid to gardening, two turnips that looked like Billy Bounce twins. They are about 7 inches in length and the heavier one weighs 5% pounds. They are apparently solid and look like a flqe grade of turnips. They were raised on the Northern Indiana ranch by Ben Dotson, who has about 1,600 bushels this year. 'Other exhibits have been promised and all our friends are urged to bring in some,sample, potatoes, corn, apples or anything else.
