Wiiili I the number and variety of speei j mens in a good exhibit is usually ’ ample, they are often so poorly la beled ana arranged that they mean I very little. Each sample should | have a card attached giving the | name of the specimen and any ( other information which would be of special interest. For example, ( suppose you have two varieties of corn to exhibit, one a good variety and the otd’er a- poor one. Two equal piles of thest* varieties would make a very poor exhibit, but a large pile of the good variety and a smalt'pile of the poor variety would make a very good exhibit. Again, piles of different seed cot- ton arc not very interesting but i!. you comb out a few seeds showing the length of staple of each va riety and mount on a pi ce of carii board to place in each pile the ex hibit becomes attiact.ve.
