7 WAS A GREAT DAY

Everything was there under the
big tent. The seven foot oats, the
seven foot alfalfa, the wheat with
the seven inch heads and 100 big
fat kernels to the head, the II
pound beets, altogether 80 ex-
hibits not including the horses.
The list of awards is printed on
our last page and the judges wish
special mention made of the fol-
lowing: w. w. Hawkins, spring
rye; VIM. Reike, German rape and
German beef beans; John w.
Shawcroft, English beef beans; j.
HI. Lieurance, fax; Erastus Beck,
hops: Austin Smith, apples; John
t. Smith. crab, apples.
One of the most enjoyable and
instructive portions of the pro-
gram was the speaking in the
park. Hardly ten per cent of the
people heard these speeches but
they were full of encouragement
and hope for the future, promise
of greater reward for our labor.
Mayor Smith introduced the
speakers, the first of whom was
w. ID. Hoover of the Sugar com
pany. Mr.. Hoover pointed out the
benefits of raising sugar beets,
saying that properly rotated with
other crops they We're a benefit
to the soil. He. had many things
to say in favor of beet raising
and many good words relative
to the showing made in the beet
fields of this district. He
closed by inviting all the people
to Monte Vista in October to
celebrate the opening of the
sugar factory.
Fred d. Stanley of Alamosa
spoke briefly of the great future
which he believed in store for the
San Luis Valley. He complimented
the people on the excellent ex-
hibit and asked them to bring
it to the Alamosa fair this week.
His address was pleasing and
scholarly.
f. S. Christensen and others
who We're down on the program
yielded their time to Prof.
w. d. Working, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, who
made the principal address.
Professor Working said that he
had attended number of fairs in
different parts of the state this
fall and had acted as one of the
judges here. In variety and ex-
cellence our exhibit had many of
the older communities beaten.
There were so many fine exhibits,
he said, that the judges were at
their wits ends to tell which
was first and second and third.
He told how the department was
trying to shed more light on the
business side of farming and
learn from the successful farmers
their methods to the end that all
might become successful. The
proper rotation of crops, the re-
newing of the fertility of the
soil and many other questions
We're dwelt upon by the speaker
who promised to visit the valley
quite frequently in the fut:re
and become better acquainted
with the people.
