Agriculture
Commenting upon the greatest and
most general divisions of the state
fair th,t is, the agricultural, indus
trial ard live stock divisions, it may be
said that never were the crop condt
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.
pectins the largest and best fruit -
hibit of any previous year.
implements
The implement field has been n,
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 a sod before the opening OF
:he fair. Gravel walks will give firm
footing wherever needed.
The facilities for display will be
much improved and exhibitors will be
pleased with better facilities fer 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 %
display in the United States.
The implement people. as wen -
any class of exhibitors seen at the fair,
have recognized and acted upon the
well defined duty which every farmer.
manufacturer. wholesaler, retailer and
live stock man in the state owes 10
himself, to his community and TO his
state in contributing his part To Okla
