COUNTY MAKES GREAT SHOWING

Bonner county won two first premium ribbons and four third premium ribbons on exhibits at the state seed show at Pocatello.

Alphonse Barbishe of Clarksfork received first premium upon his exhibit of Idaho Rural seed potatoes, 25 entries having been made from around the state. J.R. List of Selle was awarded third premium among the 25 exhibits.

Oliver Ruen of Clarksfork received 1st premium on a sheaf of oats; Matt Schmitt, Oden, 3rd premium on rye exhibit; Anton Petre, Sandpoint, 3rd premium on barley exhibit.

County Agent Ludwick was delighted with the county’s showing. Bonner’s exhibit was small due to the long distance, and to win so many prizes speaks volumes for her agricultural resources.
