Indianapolis, Aug. 21-In its plans
for the Indiana fair the state board of
agriculture has been careful to give
the women from the farms and the
cities and towns full consideration, and
the exposition will, when ii opens In
indianapolis on Sept 9. have many
features of interest to this element of
fair patrons. Year after year the rec
ords of the state board show that more
women than men attend the fair and
it is alsotrue that they take keen in
terest in ali departments, including a
number which the men overlook as
they inspect the exposition.
Show To BE Rich in Live Stock.
Women who 90 to the fair have al
ways been interested in the shows OF
live stock - horses. cattle, sheep and
swine-and in all of these departments
they will find the exposition especially
rich The herds of dairy cattle and
the products that will be shown in the
dairy building will he on an extensive
scale, and the new live stock pavilion
will not only afford better facilities for
showing the stock, but give the specta-
tors many advantages in seeing what
is being done to improve the quality
of the chief herds of the country.
Poultry To Be Abundant.
Town and country women take live
ly interest IN poultry. both at home
and ut the state fair. There is no 9TH
er department of the exhibition that
is marked by keener competition and
it is common for $500 or more fowls
to be shown. The poultry show for
the coming fair will contain as many
exhibits as last year If not more and
the prize awards will amount to So
sol. 1t will not only be the largest
show of poultry in Indiana this year
but it is doubtful if any state fair il
the country will have a larger one.
Corn Show viii Be Good.
The corn show OF the fair is also Of
| interest to the women, and at the com
ing display prizes to the amount OF
| $3.50 will be distributed. Table lux
uries is another line at the fair il
which the women not only show theii
accomplishment in the making Of
bread. cakes, pies. pickles and the
like, but the list of premiums for tbs
coming fair is generous, and there are
classes for the modest housewife who
does not boast of her culinary ability
and there are other classes for the pro
