FAIRS HELD TOO EARLY.
Many Farmers Would Prefer Later
Dates for County Events.

Special to T!mes-Republican
Sac City, Aug. 25.-Many farmers of
Sac county are asking why county
fairs are not held later in the year
THE attendance at the Sac county fair,
they declare, would have been much
greater If held later. The county fair
comes during the busy season of harry
est and threshing. At a county fair
there should be a good exhibition of
farm products, but in middle August
they are as yet undeveloped. The
EARLY News says in a recent issue:
"Why not have September and Oc-
tober fairs? Let the chautauqua, the
field sports and the race meets 'occu-
apy the midsummer time. Don't try to
crowd them back or tumble them with
the fairs. Let the fairs be agricul-
tural expositions in fact as we'll as in

BIG DAY AT FAIR
Attendance Of $4,000 People on Mon

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-Another Iowa
state fair record went smash yesterday
when the receipts for Des Moines day
were discovered to have far exceeded
the receipts of any Monday in the his
tory of the institution.
Fully $4,000 people were on the
grounds during the afternoon, and this
number was augmented by the inn
mense evening crowd which saw the
two evening shows.
The Judging of the live stock began
yesterday and proved to be immense
ly popular Great crowds of people not
only surrounded the barns and passed
thru them inspecting the stock, but
the amphitheater in the live stock pa
wilton was crowded all day. Horses
were judged in the forenoon and cattle
In the afternoon This will be the
continuous program for the next three
or four days.
The feature of the live stock show
Yesterday was the sensational victory
of an American bred horse over the
imported Percherons in the show ring.
The sensation occurred in the d
year-old Percheron class. Ryan, owned
by Taylor & Jones of Springfield, was
put up against a largeifield of the fin
est Imported stock on the grounds ana
which was pronounced equal to any
stock ever shown.
And he won. The animal weighs
$500 pounds at 3 years and 1t is
thought that he will put on at least 30o
more pounds. He is clean limbed and
moves with the ease and agility OF a
cat. almost, despite his immense
weight In action and every point the
horse gives exceptional promise and
is the coming show ring animal Of this
class in the judgment Of judges.
The chief interest in the contest, OF
course. is the fact that an American
bred animal took the ribbon. 1t Is pre-
dicted that America. Iowa, indeed, VIII
soon be exporting fine horses to Eu-
rope.
In another class, a 4year-old Clyde
mare owned by Sodenberg OF Illinois
and which also is an American bred
animal, won over a famous Scotch
show ribbon wearer.

was won by H. A. Cornwell of An

service, is not optimistic over the
prospects for the maturing Of all of the
states immense corn crop. The past

The past week was considerably
cooler than usual, the average daily
deficiency in temperature being from
six to eight degrees. The days were
quite warm and bright, making ideal
conditions for farm work, but the
nights were too cool for maturing the
belated corn. A few scattered light
showers occurred over the western and
southern districts, but over a large
part of the state little or no rain fell.
Corn Is in a healthy condition ana
making as good a growth as could be
expected with the cool nights. Reports
indicate that, with normal weather,
about 80 per cent Of the crop Will be
safe from the effects of killing frost
by Sept. 10, So per cent by Sept. 20,
and So per cent by Oct /. With favor
able weather conditions up to Oct. 10,
from 80 per cent to 95 per cent OF the
crop will mature. but, under the best
of conditions. there will be consider
able soft corn.
Pastures are in excellent condition,
and the aftermath in meadows is
growing rapidly. Glover promises
good crop of seed. and the yield OF
timothy seed will be fully up to the
