PERFECT PLANS
AT STATE FAIR
FACILITIES ARE
PROVIDED.
A SUCCESSFUL EXPOSITION
Is ALREADY ASSURED FOR THE
COMING MONTH AT HURON.

The coming state fair at Huron Will
without doubt be the greatest exposi-
ton in the history of the state, due
principally to the excellent manage
ment of the state board.
In exposition of the nome and its
scientific development and consequent
happiness the South Dakota annual
fair is unequivocally aligned upon
the principle of perfect service. The
facilities provided in all departments
of the exposition reserve power to
meet and conquer all adverse condi-
tions and still present a complete
and perfect plan adapted to every
normal demand, have been fully DEM
onstrated by the most capable board
ever identified with this enterprise.
To those who have never undertaken
similar work it is impossible to give
an idea of the exhaustive detail and
laborious effort involved in an under
taking of this character. To those
who have conserved and aided similar
work in the past it must be self-evi-
dent that absolute effort, together
with unusual ability, have distinguish
ed the fair plans for 1909.
To interest the farmers of the state
and secure their invaluable aid in the
enterprise 1t has been essential to
show a fair, free, full and capable ar
rangement of the several features be-
longing to a successful exhibit. In
matters such as these there is no con-
donement of error or oversight; fail
ure is failure, pure and simple; where
ever the fault or misfortune lies it is
failure no less, and its results can
not be sevaded or amended Hence
the need of absolute competency back
ed by amplitude of power. In this
demand the present committee is es-
pecially fortunate; all of their arrange
ments being equal to the utmost nor
NAL requirements. Not feature of
the true fair is missing; every demand
of the home, the farm, the special
crop or industry Of the farm has been
effectively remembered and provided
| for without stint or shortage. No in
terest or division of labor germane to
the farmers life has been overlooked
| Himself, his wife, his children and
even the hired man may all find in
| formation and entertainment in this
splendidly equipped exhibition. Not
only in the admirable and commod-
ious buildings so adequately and beau
tifully planned by e. b. Dinneen in
the woman's building and Geo. Is
senhuth in the stock pavilion, adapt
ed from that at Brookings, but in the
other buildings with which the
grounds are so well equipped, is the
impression of opulent and unstinted
arrangement secured The lighter
and pleasurable phases of life are also
we'll observed and when one looks at
what has been done, as well as the
purpose for which it is done, one can
not but congratulate the state of
South Dakota on the unselfishness
and efficiency Of the fair board Of
1909 1t is no light and easy matter
to accomplish what has been done for
the fair this year. To handle prop
erly the large amount of money ap
propriated by the state, and to make
that expenditure so fifty answer the
current demand and so generally meet
the public appreciation, has taken
more integrity and brains than are
usually found in such officiary. Here
undoubted understanding of the is
sues at stake, the capacity and intelli-
gence of the cooperating farmer and
the natural resources of the state in
which we live, have been manifested
safely look forward to future years
and their results to substantiate the
theories of those who have so ably
provided for the display of what has
been already done in South Dakota.
Whose has the interest and welfare
of the state at heart may here find CO.
ordinate minds for communion, and
co-laborers to tell of experiment and
result, as well as the thinkers out of
new plans and purposes. In this ex-
change Of experience and thought
much must be gained for the days to
come in which the dull plodding and
accidental discovery Of the past will
be forgotten. The true farmer of to-
day is a scientist, whose practice
tested theories and formulated pro-
cedures entitle them to the best the
earth contains. It Is eminently pro-
per and fitting that he be provided as
at present with the opportunity to
show what he has done, and what he
can do, and too much praise cannot
