Missouri State Fair

The Eleventh Annual Exhibition
of the Missouri State Fair win be
held on the State Fair Grounds at
Sedalia, September 80 to October
8. The members of the State Board
of Agriculture are the Directors Of
the State Fair and they have made
an extra effort this year to sur
pass all former years in the way
Of exhibits and entertainment.
The Live Stock Industry Of Mis-
souri, has made wonderful
growth since the , Fair was
established. The IT'S from the
1910 U. s. Census snow that the
value OF Horses and Colts in 1900
was Si2,O 9 900 while in 1910 the
value was Sll3, 100000 showing an
increase OF over 10 per cent. For
Mules in 1900, s~15,4s2,ooo and in
1910, S~i3,363,o0o showing an in
crease In value of 1870 per cent. The
value of Swine in 1900 was $685.
600 and in 1910, S31.s7s,ooo. The
value of Sheep In Nj uri in 1900
was s3,351,ooo and in 1910, $685.
900 showing an increase of over 1876
per cent.
A. reasonable supposition is that
the Missouri State Fair has had
much influence in the development
of the Live Stock Industry during
the last ten years for il is at the
State Fair where the best herds In
the country are shown and II is
there where the farmer and breed
err gets his inspiration to breed
better live stock. The State Fair
Is an educational Institution that
reaches people who are past the
school age as well as the young
folks.

Optimism.

The present summer will be
long remembered as a season OF
sacanty rainfall and great heat.
In June the total rainfall Of the
month was less than onethird OF
one inch. The government Their.
mometer in high and free
locations going high as lO4 means
a temperature Of ten or fifteen
degrees higher in the streets
below. A drouth Is a damage in
many ways, but il is a change OF
climate, and as such may have a
beneficial effect upon the health
Of people, checking certain
tendencies to disease in those who
cannot, or do not, undergo an
actual change OF climate.
The farmers says the drouth
puts the soil in good condition
for the next crop, making II
mellow and bringing up fertility
that the rains had washed down
into subsoil. Many kinds OF
insects and diseases troubling
the plant life Of garden, field and
orchards are retarded OF
exterminated. The people are
taught habits OF economy and
forehandedness. One Of the most
remarkable things in nature Is
the system Of compensation. The
ear OF a blind man becomes acute,
the hand OF a one.armed man
strong. In the last drouth the
pasture that was dry and brown
in summer was green as velvet
in the fall, and the heat that
parched that seasons crops kept
the frost line lingering in the
North till near the holidays, so
that the feed question that winter
was not so serious as ii might
have been. Salon said: Call no
man happy till he is dead" So
we may say: Call no year
profitable till II is ended" A
drouth hurts while 1t lasts, but
who can say that the human
race is not better off at the end
OF a century for having had an
occasional drouth? - Henry
County Republican.

Last weeks heat was another
record.breaker and was hard on
man, beasts and crops. The days
were about as hot as those
experienced at the equator with
the added discomfort Of our mode
OF living and the fact that many
have to work hard in spite OF the
heat. Its time for the sunspot
man to come to the front and tell
us what causes such heat. There
Is some force in nature that we
do not understand causing this
and il would be interesting tC
know what ii is even IL no remedy
can be had.

Missouri is Republican state
since st. Louis elections are

for Governor will be an important
one. II il is to be a free.trade VS.,
