An Edueatlon bal ItseIi.

The state fair which is to bo held at
Pueblo, September 18th to the 10th, in
elusive, promises to be fine exhibition.
From an educational standpoint there is
nothing that can take the place Of n
large fair for those whose lifework is the
breeding Of cattle, sheep and other ami
mails, or the growing of grains, fruits,
etc. The exhibits at the fair last year
were a surprise TO all who attended and
gave a fresh impetus to those different
interests. Those who exhibited were
spurred to greater efforts and others. up
on seeing what could be done in Colo
rado, have since made investments in
that direction.

at one half a normal crop. Oats will not
yield so big, in many fields the straw be
ing too short to cut. The best grain is
found where it was sown on potato
ground. Where this plan has been fol
lowed big yield is the result in spite of
the drouth.
Corn is drying up in many fields, and
late potatoes must have rain soon or the
yield will be light and the potatoes
small.
The above conditions prevail generally
in the territory adjacent to Ebert and
for distance of ten miles out.

A report from Lees Summit, Kansas,
tells the story of frightful occurrence
in the corn belt near that place. The
story was given circulation by Lees
Summit paper, and illustrates the horri-
bic dangers that Kansas is suffering by
reason of the tremendous corn crop.
The hero of this awful tale is Willie
McKeighan, small boy, who climbed a
cornstalk to see how his fathers crop
was getting on. The stalk grew so fast
that the faster the boy slid down the
higher up he was carried. At the last
report Willie was out of sight and still
ascending. Many men are at work try
ing to chop down the stalk, but the effort
is useless, because the plant grows too
fast for the AK to hit twice in the same
place The boy is living on raw corn,
and has already thrown down four bush
els of cobs. The stalk is now so high
that the cobs take fire in the air like
meteors. Farmers in the vicinity are ar
ranging to send up balloons for the re
lief of this poor victim of the corn crop.
