Lots of Wheat Pasture

1t has not been so long ago that
the question of feed for this section
of Kansas and Oklahoma was a seri.
Gus proposition and with no assur.
rance Of rain the people thought that
they would only have dry or ensilage
feed. But since the rain thousands
of acres Of wheat are up and will be
ready for pasture in q short time.
The people who have made trips
over this territory say that there is
bigger acreage of wheat than there
has been for several years and that
most Of it has been put in under the
summer fallow plan OF cultivation.

Ford Was Not Geared

The report has been circulated
that the Ford car in the automo-
bile race at the fair last week was
geared for the occasion. The car
was taken out of stock in the Lib
eral Auto Co.'S garage and with
the bed taken off and used as all
the cars from the garage are. The
time could have been made better
than it was at the time of the race
but the Ford driver slackeued
speed when he passed the other
car and made the half mile in
forty seconds. The run was ten
miles and the Buick car was about
twice the horsepower of the Ford,
and could have been driven
faster but the driver was not ac-
customed to racing.

SOUTH WEST
FAIR is over


Saturday and the quiet since the
affair is noticeable. The second
animal fair was not only a success
but surprise as we'll. In every
department where premiums were
offered there were many things of
interest and beauty. The first
dav was lost to good many peo-
pie who did not come until they
had heard about the air ship.
Friday was so windy and dusty
that the aviator was disappointed
when he had to give up his flight,
Sunday he made one that was
good. If Cessna comes back to
Liberal again and says that he will
sail in the air the people will be
here to see him. They know that
nothing but severe gale will
keep him out of the air above.
He left the first of the week and
said that he wanted to come back
to Liberal again and liked the
crowds and people here.
The racing events were report.
ed in the daily and some good
races were run. While NEST of
the afternoons were given to the
races the free attractions and con-
cessions on the grounds were pat.
ronized and served as diversions
for the people. The department
halls were also visited hourly
There were no serious accidents
and only fight or two served tC
make a ripple on the smoothness
of things. The plan of having the
autos and vehicles take different
directions was worked out to the
satisfaction of everybody and nc
trouble was experienced by peo.
pie persisting in going the wrong
route.

Visitors from all the nearby
towns were here and they certainly
did their share to make this fair a
success. They came from every
where and not word was heard
from anyone in a complaining or
derogatory way. They seemed to
think that they had an interest
in the success of the event and
certainly were encouraging and
inspiring by their words of ap-
probation.

ed against odds that other counties
of the state felt that they could
not stand and called off their fairs
for this year. 1t seems that every
man or woman who had thing to
bring to the fair did so, not ex-
pectlng a premium so much, but
just to make a showing for the
south west of Kansas and the north
west of Oklahoma. People who
came here from other fairs and the
State fair at Hutchinson said
that while this was not on such a
large scale, that it compared with
the best of them, especially in the
agricultural department. The de-
partment was visited by a lady
who was at the Nebraska State
fair and the Hutchinson fair and
she said that it equealed either of
them.
