O. Q. o. Wolf Of Ottawa, who served
as superintendent OF the cattle depart
ment Of the fair last September. hsa
written to President Borman a. foliovs.
trust you Will pardon me for ad-
dressing you ON this occasion. have
neen much interested In the Topeka
fair. You have made a good showinr
in spite Of the discouragfnr thinrs Won
have had to deal with. Many Of the
puAolngs would do credit to any state
fair grounds. The exhibits have been
credit to Topeka and the state. Much
time ana money have been spent in
building the fair up to fits present nrs,-
portions and 1t would seem unfortunaSe
TO let 1t go back. I trust there NAV
De some way provided whereby It may
be continued.

Royal that fs accessible and that IN
drawn largely from the Topeka 6air.
Dut eastern Kansas as you know IA mol
pre-eminently graxing district. To
succeed in this section the growing Of
grain and live stock must be Combined.
so iar Topeka is the only place in this
secuon OF the state where an exhfbi-
ton has been held that was OF any
great educational advantage where
both the agricultural and live stock In
terests receive attention.
AT present many of our people no TO
Kansas City to attend the Royal be-
cause OF its educational advantaRes,
Ihey DO not go simply to be entertained.
Many have not as yet learned Of the
added advantages to be secured AT To-
peka because Of the combined exhfbi-
ton Personally believe that many
that now 60 to Kansas would eventu-
ally go to Topeka when they learn
that there II more to be had there than
at Kansas City.
wish to congratulate the manage
ment on the good work they have done
and IL possible offer some encourage
ment have faith in the future ouf-
come Of the fair II It can be CONTINUED
Any fair association 10 apt to run mn
against q week of bad weather.
