"The Agricultural ratrs are rapidly
becoming an active force in the de-
velopment of agricultural knowledge
throughout the State" says Deputy

tin, of Lawrence County, in his an
nual report on the fairs held in
PENNSYLVANIA in 1909. He reports
that the attendance was 1,449,OOO,
or 10000 less than in 1908, but
that the amount paid in premiums
was S125,56S.65, or S3O,O5O.74
more than in the year before.
1--WE note a marked improvement
in the manner of conducting fairs
he continues "in that all games of
chance, gambling devices and ques-
tionable shows have been practically
eliminated"
He likewise comments upon the
fact that agricultural experts are
coming more and more to be in
demand to address the people at
tending.
