STATE FAIR FOR 1911.

As September rolls around each year
and the annual State Fair becomes the
topic in agricultural and industrial cir
eles, the oft repeated phrase this
years State Fair will be greater than
any of it's predecessors sounds familiar
to those interested. To a certain ex-
tent this statement has been true each
year, but in lettering some depart
ments or some features of the states
big educational and agricultural insti-
tuition in the past, other features and
departments have been neglected.
The 1911 State Fair has been organ
lied to the point when the greater
than ever" phrase becomes permissible.
The State Board of Agriculture has
gone at this years Fair more deliber-
ate and on broader principles than
heretofore and as a result the grain
growing farmer, the dairy farmer and
the beef breeding farmer viii find
something in every minutes time spent
at the Fair in Milwaukee, September
IL to 16, that will compensate him
many fold for the time and expense
INDUCED in during visit to the states
agricultural show.
The State Horticultural Society will
Wisconsin offers better apple grow
ing field than any of the western
states. In tent separate from the
regular horticultural exhibits, Secre-
tary Cranefeld of the State Horticul-
tural Society will make an exhibit of
apples grown in Wisconsin for the COM
mercial market. In this apple show,
the first of its kind to be held in Wis
consin there will be more than 300
exhibits of a bushsl or barrel of APP
Piles of every variety grown in the state.
The State immigration Commissioner
also in a separate and distinct exhibit
from the regular county exhibits, will
show a collection of grasses and grains
developed in the cut-over counties of
Northern Wisconsin, through the co
operation of settlers and the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin Agricultural Society.
The State Fair Board, through its
special attraction committee, will pro-
vide variety of entertainment for the
visitor to the Fair. One of the attrac-
tive features for every day of the Fair
wilt be an exhibition of the progress of
aeronautics. There will be shown at
one time in the air the familiar hot air
balloon with it's parachute jumper; the
derigible balloon, steered by its engi-
neer into and across the winds, and
the aeroplane, the latest and most SEN
sational 'heavier than air" device in
vented for aerial navigation. These
aerial devices will be in operation in
front of the grand stand at the same
time every afternoon and evening and
will afford unique and sensational
attraction.
The women of Wisconsin are to come
into their own during the State Fair
and one of the days of Fair week will
be turned over to them, during which
a programme, in which man can only
be listener and onlooker, will be rem
dered.
Another event that will be new will
be Military Day, Saturday, September
10, when as many of the state troops
as can be modified on the Fair grounds
will be gathered there. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Military Day Committee to
have the three arms of the state militia,
the infantry, calvary and artillery rep
resented in the maneuvers and to en-
nance the Importance of the military
undertaking the State Board of Agri-
culture has petitioned the Secretary of
War to assign attachments of the three
branches of the regu ar army from TT.
Smelling and Ft. Sheridan to cooperate
with the state troops1n enacting a
shan battle.
