THE FAIR AND OTHER tn INGS
ATIRON RIVER.

L
parts of the county. to Iron River,
last week. And these people,
while looking at the fair, mostly
all gave some time towards look
ing at Iron River, the village.
Much can be said in praise of
the fair, and too much credit can
not be given to the enterprising
gentlemen at Iron River. who
have been working to make it a
success. But the fair ought to
be bigger each year, and it ought
to grow along proportionately
with the county. The truth is
that the Bayfield, county fair,
while rejecting credit upon its
promoters, is not as big as the
county it represents. Its "big-
ger than the county in horse
races which afford the principal
feature of the fair. and without
which there would be little left.
And, of course, everyone enjoys
this big feature of the fair, but it,
alone, does not make up the
popular notion Of what should
constitute fair by an "Agricul-
luraI Association. "
And, after several visits to the
different fairs, as q friend of the
institution, and as an interested
party in all things pertaining to
the development of the county,
THE TIMES, after a good dea! Of
thought upon the matter, has
decided to become a free lance
upon this matter, and to ".speak
its little piece" at this time, in
hopes that it may bear fruit for
another year.
The simple and plain truth of
the matter is that thu people of
Bay field county are not much in
terested in it's county fair. and
this is bestshown by the fact that
outside of the people of Iron
River and it's immediate vicinity.
only a handful of people
patrOnize the institution. In the
older counties in southern Wis,
consin and other parts of the
country. everyone goes to the
county fair. And every farmer
takes along some choice exhibit
of grain or garden product, and
every house wife has her exhibit
of butter or needle work It
rests with the officers of the fai r
to in some manner work up a
keen rivalry that will induce
more people to send more ex-
hibits, and if the exhibits can be
secured, then the people Of the
county may awake to the fact
that it will be worth their time
and expense to attend the fair.
By early next spring few farm
ers in every school district of
Bayfield, county should be
secured as advance agentfor the
bayfield, county fair, and on as
many farms as possible there
should be an effort in progress to
produce something big for the
county fair. It is up to the AS
ISOLATION officers to start their
work early, and to provide for
carrying on the campaign ener
getically throughout the year.
A few hand bills and window
posters and a small premium list
distributed a few days before the
fair, is not enough. The fair
officers must increase their
efforts along more practical lines
and arouse. an interest
months in advance before the
county fair will ever become a
success.
1t is safe to say that down in
Waeworth county, that hundreds
of farmers are right now plan
ming on what they can produce
for next years fair. And it is
this spirit that has made the fair
in that county one of the greatest
of it's kind in the whole country.

comes off in 1906, and everyone
ought to be eagerly waiting for
! it, weeks befor the gates are
thrown open to the public. The
exhibit feature of the fair should
be made far greater and bigger
than anything else, and the cad
vance agents ought to be work
ing early and late next year
arousing the farmers to bring
their stock and their produce
onto the grounds. The associa-
ton should educate itself and
the public to expect a big fair
and to have it: instead of looking
for small fair and a meagre at
tendance
Of course many good people
think that with what Iron River S
energetic people have already
accomplished in the way of get
ting together it's buildings and
grounds that the people of the
county should be sufficiently in
terested to do the rest. And no
doubt, in theory this is correct:
but no great manufacturing in
Stitution ever was content to
build great buildings and install
ma mmoth machines. and to quit
there. Their next step has al
ways been to send their menout
into the byways and hedges and
to interest every one possible in
their enterprise. And this is
what the Agricultural Associa-
ton must do. Next years fair
ought to be ten times larger than
this years, and it can be done.
The Bayfield, County Fair is
good thing, and The TIMES
stands ready to do anything to
advance it, and to aid the enter
prising gentlemen behind it. In
every com munity energetic peo-
pie S hould become interested to
the end that it may become one of
the greatest institutions of the
kind in the northern half of the
state. 1t can be done-it
should be done.
Iron River citizens are elated
that the Edward Hines Lumber
company has purchased the
Alexander & Edgar mill, and will
operate it. Through the i'm
petus thus given to the town the
people hope to tide over a period
of depression, which if it came
now, would badly hamper the
business interests of the place
Agricultural development is
going on rapidly about the place,
and Iron River expects that by
the time the Hines people quit
them, that they will be able to
meet the new conditions. and al
ways remain a busy burg. Iron
River showed it's usual spirit of
enterprise in landing the Hines
people.
Secretary Fl. S. Fairall, of the
North Wisconsin Farmers AS

many practical things. He owns
fourteen acres Of land two blocks

raised great many varieties of

can be successfully grown in
Northern Wisconsin soil. He
arranged an exhibit hall,
which will show to the visitor
what can be done in the way Of
growing things in this section of
the state.
