Commenting Rpoa the greatest and
most general divisions of the state
fair that is, the agricultural, indus
trial and live stock divisions, it may be
said that never were the crop condi-
tions SO favorable to the best display
of agricultural exhibits in the history
of the fair. There will be more and
better county collective exhibits than
ever before. The management is ex.
pecting the largest and best fruit ex.
hibit Of any previous year.
implements
The implement field has been in
creased from ten to fifteen acres
to accommodate the constantly
increasing exhibits Of implements and
farm machinery. The number and
class Of exhibitors will be increased
100 per cent over last year. Here Will
be found the latest improvements and
devices, which alone will be worth
many times the cost OF attending the
state fair. The entire implement field
has been set to Bermuda grass. which
will make sod before the opening Oh
tie fair. Gravel walks will give firm
footing wherever needed,
The facilities for display will Be
much improved and exhibitors win be
pleased with better facilities for load
ing and unloading heavy machinery.
The field has been supplied recently
with city water.
The expense incurred to exhibitors
In making these high class exhibits
runs into the thousands OF dollars.
One exhibit last year was declared BY
one well informed on the subject TO
have been the finest ever placed on
display in the United States.
The implement people, as well a.
any class of exhibitors seen at the fair,
have recognized and acted upon the
we'll defined duty which every farmer,
manufacturer. wholesaler, retailer and
live stock man in the state owes to
himself, 10 his community and to his
state In contributing his part to Okla
homa's greatest advertising agent-ths

Never before was the management
Of the Oklahoma State Fair in position
to give state fair visitors more for
their money. The fourth annual exhi.
bition which will be held September 81
to October 8, will show Improvements
valued at $4,000. Practically all Of
this money is being put into new buiid-
ings this summer. In the list of new
ones the most important is the great
live stock pavilion, costing $4,000,
seating $500 people. With the advent
of two $3,OOO,0OO packing plants in
Oklahoma City, the live stock depart
ments OF the state fair are expected
this year to start on an unprecedented
growth, rejecting credit upon the state
and city as coming live stock center
of the southwest.
Other new buildings under construc-
tion to be complete by the opening of
the fair are: Dairy building, mineral
and resource building. woman's and
children's building. To this might be
added mention Of 100-foos extension
to the agricultural building.
