WHAT FAIR EXHIBITS SHOULD
CONSTITUTE

1t is little late to offer sugges-
lions how to select specimens for fair
exhibits after the fair is over and the
exhibitors have collected their exhib-
its and counted their sore spots, but
a little discussion at the present time
of the objects and purposes of fairs
and the manner of preparing exhibits
will, We hope, be of service next year.
We can think of but two purposes
which farm exhibits should serve at
any fair. Least of which is to Demon
strate the adaptability Of the soil and
climate to the growth Of particular
crops, and the most important to ex-
hibit products of utility, selected and
exhibited to illustrate the proper type
of specimens for quality, market and
yield.
That fair has not served its highest
purpose which fails to lay stress up
on the worthiness or Its exhibits, and
the exhibitor who conjures up
schemes and devices to produce mon
strosities of various and sundry va
rieties is adding nothing to his own
glory or to the betterment of the
community at large. The most worthy
exhibitors are those careful, painsta-
king producers who pour all the in
telligence they have into the selec-
ton, care and production Of their
crops, realizing that there are certain
qualities which these commodities
must contain else they will either be
passed up or seriously condemned by
the purchasing public. When these
men exhibit they put up what COM
petitive market demands and what
the consuming public demands.
This is the character of exhibits
which producers should strive to
grow and put up, and which fai:
boards should offer money prizes for,
then If the fearfully wonderful and
monstrous incongrulties Of nature
must be recognized, offer nothing but
ribbons with the expressed under
standing that they represent nothing
but the adaptability Of the soil and
climate.
Two or three hundred years ago
the English fair reached high state
Of development on the principle OF
quality and as consequence they
have supplied the world with high
quality stock Of horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, vegetables and some Of the ce-
reals. Is 1t not high time that we
get this idea Of big, course. conjured
up specimens out of our minds ami
substitute those of QUALITY?
Before exhibiting make the fair
board state which Of these ideas they
want, demand a printed score card
In the Premium list, and II they can't
give it call on the college Of agricul-
ture-they can.

MANURIAL VALUE OF STRAW

Nearly every farmer cuts wheat
and oats with more straw than is
necessary to successfully save the
grain. The strawstack is often burl-
ed and nothing realized from the ex.
ira length of straw harvested. To
harvest long straw is expensive from
a labor standpoint, and if it is to be
put to no use it should remain on
the land in the shape of stubble.
Straw contains enough fertilizer
per ton to cost several dollars If
bought in commercial fertilizer.
While the fertilizer elements are not
so available as those found in the
commercial article, yet the straw fur
nishes humus to the soil, which is au
advantage that the commercial fer
tilizer does not possess.
Wheat straw contains the least
amount of fertility per ton, and cal
culating it's value at the rate usually
charged for commercial fertilizer we
have as a result.

This is 1929 per ton for the direct

we may reasonably expect as much
value to the soil from the humus
added as from the plant food added.
All the straw possible should be left
on the land, and as much as possible
of that taken off should be returned.

The Dangerous Chance.

An exchange calls attention again
to the appalling list of accidents as
reported by the daily press of this
country. 1t may be divided into
several general classes that include
the greatest proportion of casualties
but among them all, however, few
comprise a larger number than the
victims who are killed or injured
while walking upon railroad tracks.
1t is asserted that about fifty
thousand persons have been killed
and about ffty,ave thousand injured
in this way during the last eleven
years. Supporting this statement is
the report of the interstate COM
merce commission that 4,614 per
sons exclusive OF passengers and
railroad employees were killed dur
ing 1909 by being struck by loco
motives or cars, and this is not re-
garded as an exceptional year in
that regard.
although many people know it is
dangerous and senseIess to walk
upon railroads tracks the statistics
lead ono to believe that even some
of them derive no benefit from the
knowledge and that there is de-
plorable amount of Ignorance In
regard to the practice. People OF
average intelligence in spite of ali
warnings and full knowledge of
their danger, will now and then
take a tchance in walking along the
railroad tracks. These tracks are
not public thorouEhfares and dan
ger turks even in what seems to be
a safe chance. 1t would be far bet
ter to take the longer way around
on public thoroughfares then even
to risk the great danger of chance
that appears perfectly safe.

c1nrI.sburR Keeps Apace.

clarksburg again advertises to the
world that it Is city Of modern
strides. The news has gone out
that the city by vote OF it's people
has authorized an expenditure of
S275. 900 for additional school
buildings. The result of the cleo
ton on bonds for the purpose means
that not only necessary but future
school facilities have been provided
for and that the schools Of Clarks-
burg are soon to be second to none
in the state. The news carries with
1t an attractive invitation to people
in other cities to come here to re-
side. The manufacturer is pleased
and he can locate here with the pos
itive assurance that the children of
his employees viii have ample ed
ucatIonal advantages.
The Clarksburg resident with in
terest in the welfare of the rising
generation and the future citizen
ship Aof the school district is deeply
gratided with the result of the cleo
ton, and he who opposed the issue
viii doubtless find himself pointing
soon with pride to several new
school buildings.

Baseball Team VIII Play the
Local Team at Union
Park Friday.
CARSON

Notwithstanding the fact that tho
cIarksburg baseball team is playing
two games today at Union Park,
stifl another game has been ar
ranged for this week, besides the
coming Sunday. Manager Smith has
closed negotiations for a game at
Union Park Friday afternoon with
the strong ETlkins baseball team. The
visitors insisted upon a Sunday date
stating that they were much stronger
than given credit to be and that they
were much better than other teams
who, previously this. year, have
been given Sunday dates
If the contentious OF the visitors
prove themselves worthy of what
they state, the team win be played
on a Sunday, some time later this
season. Gafnor, of the Detroit Amer
leans, and Fitzwater. Of the Youngs
town, o. & P. league team are prod
ucts OF the EIkins team and live at
Elkins.
Harking to. the pleadings of the
baseball fans in general and always
wanting to do what ever he is able
to do, Manager Smith has decided to
have at least one good week game
each week and some weeks two
games will be played.
The strong Monongah team will
appear at Union Park this coming
sunday and will prove as worthy
foes Of the local baseball aggrega-
ton as did the Pittsburg Collegians
Lew Hunt, the old Fairmont pitcher
and Jimmie Gronniger, ex-presi-
dent of the old West Penn league
have surely gotten together good
team and If the locals win they will
know that they have been through
some baseball game.

The richmond Tragedy.

"a tragedy In Richmond, va" the
Investigation OF which is at present
attracting considerable attention, IS
one OF a class OF not infrequent oc-
currence, in the opinion OF the Bal
timore Sun, that calls for the
closest study of both patholog:st
and socioIogist. Says the Sun:
young man, 81 vars old, with
cruel delIberation murders his
young wife, the mother OF his In
FAINT son, and with the discovery OF
his guilt comes knowledge of the
fact that some three years ago he
had betrayed a fourteen-year-old
girl; that he had recently been
maintaining Illicit relations with
her, and that he was preparing to
set up an establishment in Richmond
as the second home for the double
life he had in contemplation.
There is no intimation that the
young man is insane, or that such
a plea will be made for him in
court; yet no person of normal
mind or sensibilIties can really un-
derstand how a man not of abnOr-
NAL mental or moral development,
could commit a crime of such cold
blooded and deliberate diabolism.
There is study here for the GRIM
snologist and the social reformer as
well-the one to learn IL the
criminal instinct that undoubtedly
dominated the character of this
young man and those like him is.
tho result of heredity, or whether it
comes from some physical cause
personal to him alone; the other to
discover how far education and
training, the home influence and So
cial environments are responsible
we know that the force of hered-
ity is very strong in some cases;
that the moral and physical excesses
of ancestors often exert a controll-
ing influence upon their progeny;
that there is nothing truer in Holy
Writ than that the sins OF the
fathers are visited upon their chill
dren. We also know that even a
moral child who is allowed to have
his own way unrestrained during
boyhood, who is taught to think
that money will buy what he wishes
and enable him to destroy without!
punishment what he does not like,
is apt to grow into a man who knows
no law but his own desires, and
whom nothing but physical fear
stops from the commission OF any
act that promises to put him in
possession of what he wants.
The trouble is largely in thel
spirit of the times that is makinEI
the people of this country forget
everything else in the headlong chase
for wealth and the vulgar and osten-
tatious display after requirement; the
spirit that sets up the dollar as the
god OF it's idolatry, and sacrifices to
it home family. the training of chill
dren and the cultivation of all the
virtues. Under the influence of
such inspiration 1t is but natural
that the blind worship of the parent
should find expression in the rel
fusal of the son to recognize the OBJ
legation to obey the law, human or
divine, or to have his desires pre-
scrlbed by any limitation but that
set out in dollars and cents.
Such brutal tragedies will serve
a moral purpose II they shall have
the effect of emphasizing the inn
portaace of wholesome standards
and the old-fashioned domestic
virtues which are expressed in prop
erly living our own lives and in the
careful training OF children.
