Bisbee daily review., 1913-09-25

as county, will not be represented in
 the exhibit buildings at the fair but nevertheless there will be exhibits by
 Individual residents of the county and the permanent mineral exhibit will be increased and improved SO that from that point Of view the coun- ty will lose none of it's prestige, Relieving that Cochise county would make an appropriation for an exhibit the State Fair Commission appointed J. VI. Gray, secretary of the Warren District Commercial club county fair commissioner. Since there will be no appropriation for q county exhibit and no expense moneys for collecting and installing the same he will have to 6eyote his attention to the securing of exhibits from individuals. He has received from the fair commission A supply of premium lists and entry blanks which he will gladly serd to ia- tending exhibitors on application. These contain the classification of ex. hibits. rules and regulations. direct ions for preparing and shipping exhib- it's and all other information which d prospective exhibitor may require.
 We hope,' said Grsy to a Review representative, that Cochise county will be better represented than usual despite the fact that re county ap- propriation has been made. To do this 1t will be necessary for individ- uals to take hold. There is no reason why many prizes and awards should not be taken by exhibitors from this county, but it comes now to a matter more of Individual pride than county pride
 Right here from Bishee there should be numerous entries of exhib- its. Besides the woman's and art de partmentS to attract Bisbee exhibitors there are departments for poultry, pigeons and pets. There are num- bers of pigeon fanciers whose lofts should be represented this year at Phoenix and still more numerous poultry fanCiers who may well put on exhibit the choice fowls from their yards. We hope that the Warren Dis trict will be represented in all these departments.
 From no part Of the state have finer peaches been seen than those that were grown up Tombstone cau- yon. We hope that some of these were prepared for exhibit ard will be seen at Phoenix.
 Through the county, in the val leys vast strides have been made in agriculture and horticulture and we are hoping that individual ranchers and farmers are taking suificient pride ana satisfaction in their success t0 send samples O ftheir best results to the state fair. Cochise has come to the front as a section where inter- sive farming is being successfully practiced and the ranchers therefore have stil! further incentive to show that this section of the state really deserves the reputation which it has bcno F0'uing.
 There is much fine live stock in the county also and there should be good representations in this department.
 '"The fair will be better and larger than ever before, there are more class. es, more departments and a larger premium list and if more than ordi- nary Inducements to attract exhibits are required those inducements are certainly not lacking.
 'I shall be glad to mail premium lnsts and applications to those inter. ested if they will address me at post office box 219 Bisbee and will state or give a general idea of what they intend to place on display and will give the mall the information which ! may have in my possession on all sub- iects relating to exhibits and exhibit ] ha FaiF
