RIVALRY ESPECIALLY KEEN
Farmers Wives to Compete at West
Michigan State Fair.

The good farmers wife will have a
chance to show her skill at the West
Michigan State Fair, Grand Rapids,
September IL to Is. In the depart
ment of dairy products, especial in
ducements have been held out to her
to exhibit her butter, cheese, bread
and all sorts of cookery.
This is one of the most interesting
features OF the fair. Here the good
wife places the product of her skill
alongside that Of the farmers wife
from other sections of the state and
aside from the personal qualification
of winning premium and seeing her
good work appreciated. she has an op-
portunity to bring to her Vicinity the
claim of having outcooked or out
churned the wife from some other Sec
ton. The contests in this department
are always spirited and this year will
be more so than ever.

INTERESTS FARMERS.
Instructive Exhibit to Be Made By
Dean Electric Co. of Ohio.

AS an example of what the Mich.
igan State Fair is doing for its pa.
irons from an educational standpoint,
it might be mentioned that a success
full endeavor has been made to secure
exhibits for Motor Hall that will be
of the most instructive nature to the
thousands of visitors who will natur-
ally pass that way, or who will be at
tracted b. tie exhibits. Just now the
progressive farmer is interested in
methods that will tighten the work
both on the farm and in the house
and electricity is sure 10 be an i'm
portsnt element for him to consider.
With this educational feature in mind,
the state Fair management has con.
tracted with the Dean Electric Com
parry OF Elyria, Ohio, for a very CON-
pletc exhibit of the products of their
very extensive factory. This com.
pany has designed and has in sue.
cessful operation an electric lighting
plant primarily for use in country
homes and farm houses which are too
far away from the regular source of
electrical supply in any community to
enjoy the benefits of connection with
the same.
This company will install in it's a.
lotment OF space in Motor Hall a
complete working exhibit of this
plant, which will consist of the fol-
lowing units:
One 1-2 H. p. single cylinder air
cooled gasoline engine, direct connect
ed to one 30-volt direct current light
ing motor one small power switch.
board, 2x2 1-2 in., mounted on angle
iron frame attached to base of en-.
CINE, one set portable storage bat
teries flor reserve purpose, to be
used when engine is not running).
This apparatus will be wired up to
a very complete system of electric
lights of all sizes and descriptions, to
different types Of electric washing ma
chimes, fan motors, curling irons,
bread coasters, vacuum cleaners and
such other electrical accessories as
might be used in any house having
this system installed therein. The
apparatus will be installed under the
supervision of an expert, and will
therefore be set up strictly in accord
ance with the rules for electrical
wiring, ETC., laid down by the Nation
al Board of Fire Underwriters.
In other words. this company will
install one of these lighting plants
and other accessory parts in precise
ly the same manner as they would in
stall the same in anyhody's home for
permanent use.

Made Many improvements.

According to the report Of Secre-
tary e. d. Conger total Of $1S,S16.13
was spent last year for improvements
to the grounds. These included $3.50
for q new carriage hall 100 by 220
feet. which was occupied for the first
time last year and was filled with
carriages and automobiles. Besides
this the drainage system was greatly
improved and repairs were made to
all the buildings and the grounds
were enlarged, giving greatly in
creased space for the implement
field where the farmer could see the
most modern machinery on the mar
ket at work.
Upwards of $4,000 in premiums
will be given thfs year and entertain
ment of the most lavish sort has been
provided for. There will be the usual
races and cavalcades, the midway, the
free vaudeville in front of the grand
stand and best of all the Wright
aeroplane which has been secured at
great expense and which will make
daily flights, carrying a passenger
each day, and on one day racing with
an automobile.
The best Of transportation facilities
are AFFORDED and the railroad compa-
MES will run excursions to Grand
Rapids during the entire fair week.

CHANCE FOR BEEKEEPERS
West Michigan State Fair Offers Warm
Competition.

Michigan farmers are manifesting
an increased interest in bee keeping
these days and the West Michigan
State Fair, at Grand Rapids, Septem-
Der IL to Is, has arranged to make
the exhibition of bees and honey this
year of greater educational value than
ever before. Especially liberal pre-
NUNS have been offered In this de-
partment, over which a. G. Woodman
of Grand Rapids is superintendent,
and assurances are already in that the
exhibits will be larger and more nu-
merous than usual.
This will give beekeepers an op-
portunity to learn much of value as
to the best methods and to find out
in some instances what is the partic-
ular matter with their bees and their
honey.

SHOW THE BOY RESULTS.
" the Farm Boy Is to Be Farmer
He Must See With His Own
Eyes Farm Progress.

II the farm boy is to be a farmer
he will have to be shown that he can
set good results from farming. IN
this day and age theories do not go
very far. II am d little fearful that
In putting agriculture into the COM
mon schools we shall begin with the
wrong phase of it-be in too much
haste for strictly pedagogical basis,
or to have the parts logically related;
and that we shall put too little
strength on the seventh and eighth
grades" says one writer. This work
OF agriculture becomes popular just In
proportion as its economic value be-
comes apparent. We are losing many
pupils before they complete the eighth
grade. The boy remains who believes
that 1t will be to his economic value
to remain, and the boy goes out who
believes that it will be to his econos
mic advantage to go out. II we are

agricultural science, 1t must be pre-.

tinually before the pupil" All of
which suggests that it is at the in.
stitutes, the short courses, the fairs,
and especially at the big Michigan
State Fair, where the economic value
of education in agriculture is plainly
demonstrated.
To the boys on the farm, the Mich
igan State Fair offers unexcelled OPP
portunity for study and practical ex-
perience. 1t puts him in touch with
modern methods that cannot be other.
wise than beneficial. He sees the
prize-winning horses, cattle, sheep,
swine, poultry, ETC., learns the best
breeds and methods of feeding to get
the best results, hears the talk of the
breeders and caretakers, and, if he is
at all progressive, he picks up q
knowledge that if properly followed up
will show results on the farm. Send
the boys to the State Fair. They can

That's the big week.
That's the week of the West Michi-
gan State Fair at Grand Rapids when
all western Michigan pours forth con-
verging at the fair grounds to see the
prize horses, sheep, cows, chickens,
pumpkins and everything else, the
races, the side shows, the aeroplane
and all the big features which have
become fixtures In the affairs Of the
state and in the lives of its people
That is the week long waited for
the week when I'll see you at the
fair" is the parting word of friends
and neighbors and when that word is
realized the following day.
This year the fair will be bigger
and better than ever before. 1t has
long held its place at the head of the
list of similar expositions throughout
the country, but the effort of the Of
ficers has always been to make this
years exhibition just little better
than that of last year.
The West Michigan State Fair is
public and educational institution
conducted by patriotic citizens of
Western Michigan for the benefit of
the people of the whole state and par
ticularly for the agricultural and hor-
ticultural interests of the western
side of the state.
Every effort is made to attract
these interests to the fair grounds, to
secure exhibits of everything of an
agricultural and horticultural charac-
ter for which liberal premiums are
offered and place before the general
masses in an instructive way, things
which will serve to educate them.
Not a Manipulating Venture.
The fair is not private enterprise
in any sense of the word. None of
the officers or superintendent except
the secretary receives a penny of sal
airy. All the profits have been turned
in toward improvements to the
grounds and buildings and this policy
will be continued as long as the pres
ent organization exists.
The moral tone of the fair has al
ways been of the highest standard
For four years no liquor of any sort
has been sold upon the grounds and
none will be permitted this year. No
disorder has ever been tolerated and
never will be. It is place to which
man may bring his wife, his boy and
his girl and rest assured they will see
nothing and hear nothing on the fair
grounds which will in any way cause
regret that they were brought along.
The aim of the management has been
and Is, that the fair grounds shall be
place where the people of western
Michigan may come, have a good time,
learn something of value, spread
luncheon on ths grass II desired. and
enjoy one big family picnic.
The dates of the Pair this year do
not conflict with those of the Indiana
State Fair, as was the case a year
ago. For this reason the management
has every reason to expect larger ex-
hibits of cattle, sheep and swine from
Ohio and Indiana than ever before.
In fact. assurances have already come
that some big exhibitors who were
not here last year will be on the
grounds this year.
