STATE FiIR iSCOLlEeE
FOR FARM KNOWLEDGE
City Patrons Should Spend More
Time in Studying Rural Ex-
hibits, Says James Siocum

.The people OF this city are large
IL aependent upon the farms OF Mich'-
gan Tor the greater part of the looa
they eat. and yet only small per
centage are In the least familiar Win
farming conditions.' said James Slo-
cum, former manager OF the Mlchlsah
State Fair.
'.The state Fair is great agrieu''
tural show with two objects In view
TO show the farmer visitors what
other farmers are growing aud what
the cities are manufacturing, ana TO
show the people from the city the
products the farms are producing
comprising grains. fruits, vegetables,
poultry. live stock, etc.
cit Is unfortunate, indeed, that the
majority OF the people OF Detroit
have little, II any, knowledge OF the
farming conditions OF Michigan. Too
many have formed the opinion tha.
the state Fair is carnival OF run,
instead OF a big agricultural exnipi-
tion. where more real knowledge re-
earding the rural districts can be OBJ
talned in a single day than II is pos
sible TO obtain from any other source
iAl. months, Thousands who visit the
State Fair each year spend most oil
their time among the amusement
features, totally ignoring the educa'
tional side OF the big exhibition. This
u d grave mistake, II Is lost op'
portuhity 1T is an. opportunity TO
gain knowledge that they should have
presented TO them. The amusement
features are all right, but they are
OF minor importance. The time rs
coming ewhen the people OF the big
cities will realize the importance OF
knowing more about farming.
Thousands OF people who are ltv-
ing from day to day in the congesteo
cities. wondering what of the future,
are thinking about farm life. They
kn0w that the farmer is living an ~.
dependent life, andNwhiie he works
long hours and tndustriously, he is
absolutely independent and that ne
has sure living. and a good one
too, no matter whln happens. Thess
sau.ss people have heard the money
earning possibilities or raising fruit,
paaltry, etc, and are anxious 10 know
more about IL They do not realize
that the fruit exhibit from a single
Northern county in Michigan would
be worth more than the price OF ad-
mission TO see.

worked necessarily TO make the fair
better along agricultural lines, anG

agricultural exhibition ever shown IN
Michigan. ] am hopeful that all who
attend the fair viii spend enough OF

Brooks Law a allure

The more hears about the Brooks license law
of Pennsylvania the he becomes convinced it is
not the model method for regulating the liquor traffic
that brewers would have believe It works mostly
in the interest of those who engage the liquor bus
ness In many Pennsylvania towns efforts have been
made this spring to keep saoonsts from securing Ii
censes. Under the Brooks law it seems almost inn
possible to prevent the notorious characters from
being granted licenses. Here is the way the Brooks
law is viewed by the Venango Daily Herald an i'm
partial Pennsylvania observer:
The temperance people who undertake to fight saloons
by of the Brooks high license have the hot end of
the poker the short end of the lever every No greater

interested the local option side In the first place
he has to pay about threefourths of the cost of the
saloon in illinois, In the second place his family
comes under the influence of the saloon when going
the town to trade In the third place it affects his help
