Immediately following the races Dean
Carlyle Of the State Agricultural college,
at the earnest solicitation OF the fair Off
cials talked for Is or 20 minutes at the
agricultural pavilion to fair sized crowd
Of interested ranchmen. The professor
said he was full of talk, and hit the truth
when he added that many people gave
too much talk and not enough work of
the right kind. He complimented the
fair on the splendid showing of agricul-
tural products. He spoke OF the neces-
sity of deep fall blowing and early spring
sowing of seed and said the farmers
didn't begin to cultivate the soil here in
Colorado, citing the case OF a family in
France living off the proceeds OF three
fourths of an acre of land. His talk all
through was full of good pointers for the
farmers.
The crowd was estimated at 1900 to
1900 people. The special train from
Denver brought in 151 and 75 came up
