SHALL KING COUNTY HAVE A FAIR?
By L. Y. Williams Master Pomona Grange.

organization in the county to main
tain one during the fair. Surely any
organization would be willing to give
at least one week out of the 81 in
extending their hospitality to their
visiting brothers. 1t will add in
terest and assist us financially.
The agricultural, manufacturing
and educational buildings should be
superintendent by one or more men
selected by their own organizations.
We should have a utility building
for the merchants to display their
wares and should be under the man
agement Of the merchants associa-
ton.
Poultry and pet stock associations
should superintend their own exhibits.
Our exhibition pens and sheds for
live stock may be as extensive as the
people wish to have them. Stock and
poultry should be admitted for both
exhibition and sale purposes; these
fairs should be headquarters for people
who wish to buy stock to improve
their focks and herds.
II all these interests can be induced
to cooperate, there is no question
but King county can have one Of the
most successful fairs ever held within
the State.
We must have the cooperation and
undivided support OF the county
press; now is the time to begin pre-
paration. 1t requires special effort
on the part of the agriculturalist,
also we must not overlook the fact
that it is of great interest to not only
grow great things for exhibition but
home and farm scenery where they
are grown is of equal interest.
1t will be remembered that the
principal exhibit OF Lincoln county
at the A.-Y. p Exposition along with
their products, their views TO home
scenes, growing and marketing farm
products, proved of greater value to
the farmers of that county than all
the advertisement they had ever done.
Their land having doubled in value
since that time.
We have taken this up with the
officers of the Western Washington
Experimental Stations and they have
given US ever assurance of their
| hearty cooperation.
We should be very much pleased
to hear from our manufacturers and
educators on this matter. Anyone
having any advice or suggestions to
contribute, address L. Y. Williams,
Kent; Attorney L. Frank Brown,
Seattle; RObt. Main, of Monroe or
The Ranch, Kent, and we will see
that your communication reaches
publication.
Let our motto be ga progressive
people working together for a COM
mon good and success will crown our

is no question, but since our recent
failure it is dIscouraging to begin the
agitation. When we look around us
we see successful fairs being carried
on in every county. Many Of them
self supporting from the beginning.
From this we are led to believe that
success does not mean elaborate
buildings and grounds or the expendi-
ture of large sums of money. We
believe that success Is successful
management At our King County
Pomona Grange meeting at Bellevue.
October Il we unanimously passed
resolutions, urging the establishing
of a King county fair and elected the
writer, attorney L. Frank Brown and
Robert Main as committee to urge
it along and look after the agricul-
tural interests in establishing it.
1t is the opinion of the writer that
strictly agricultural and live stock
fairs cannot be successfully conducted
in counties where the city influence is
so dominant That our recent failure
was not caused by mismanagement,
but by a narrow and expensive pol
icy, and the lack of cooperation OF
other interests. A great number of
the city people are foaters so to speak
and are not so interested in our large
potatoes or apples, or nice mich
COWS, fat pigs, etc., as we grangers
are. Our attractions must be such
that it will interest everybody before
we may expect it to be self support"
ing.
The manufacturing interests of
a county are of as much Importance
to the people as the agricultural in
terests and should be of equal con-
Germ in establishing fair; also our
art and educational institutions are
of equal Importance. The rod and
gun club are interested. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated at Snohomish,
Puyallup and other places the i'm
portance of having our students take
a part in these exhibitions. The
schools of Yam Hill county, Oregon,
have actually astonished the North
west by conducting one of the most
successful fairs ever held on the
Pacific Coast.
1t seems now the most practical
thing to do would be for the manu-
featuring interests to select COM
mittee of three men; the educational
interests select three; the three COM
mittees to confer together in organic
ing and formulating plans for county
fair.
Politics and personal favoritism
must be eliminated from the organiza-
ton. We must be broad in our pol
icy, admitting everything that is
creditable and permissible under the
law.
Our exhibition should continue for
at least one week and at such time
as not to conflict with other fairs.
We should have the cooperation OF
all live stock associations, poultry
associations, pet stock associations,
also aeroplane flights, automobile
races and racing of any and all de-
scriptions.
1t is not necessary that we erect ex-
pensIve buildings or sheds, under

More on Sub.Irrigation.

Hon. +. p. Crabtree, of the farm
management department of the
Kansas State Agricultural College,
in writing to Mr.. George Stump of
Garden City. Kansas, says:
IL often recall my trip to your
sub-irrigation demonstration, and
with pleasure, | can assure you.
My personal interest in agriculture
led me to make the careful investi-
CATION which did, and ampleased
to find that the crops have matured
so nicely. | found the moisture
condition perfect and have every
reason to believe that this system OF
injecting water beneath the crop,
where il does not interfere with
the soil mulch, will practically revol'
utionize agriculture by irrigation
by requiring not to exceed one-hftl
the water, while it also accomplishe
its work much better, This means
the possibility of pumping waite
from much greater depths.
