number of good herds of cattle,
horses, hogs and sheep; with the en-
terprise u people show along many
other lines and the ease with which
can get exhibits to and from the
state fair; with the splendid crops
and good prices the farmers have been
receiving during the past few years,
we cannot understand why so few of
them have pride enough in their state,
their county, their home farm, and
their own work and the work of their
own families that they will not bring
something out to the state fair and
help make it a success. The fact that
they do moi is enough to discourage
any ordinary board of management,
and the writer knows that it does
have a depressing influence upon the
members of the board. The citizens
of this safe who have for any number
of years taken interest enough to par
ticipate in the fair by bringing their
stock and farm products out and ex-
hibiting year after year can almost be
counted on the fingers of the two
hands. And still we have the best in
the land within our own state, and in
live stock, several classes especially
arranged for home bred stock. In ag-
ricultural products the competition is
confined almost exclusively to South
Dakota products. l wish some one
would explain to us why this lack of
interest.

the townspeople.
But the greatest display OF lack Of
interest ON the part of the farmer in
the fair is seen in the limited displays
of agricultural products. We at

we could have taken a hand cart and
carted from the fair grounds to- the
