Preparations Being Made for Splen-
did Exhibit of States Productions.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an advertisement of the Reno State
Fair and Track Meet. The date is
September p to q next, inclusive, and
will give visitors six days of good en-
tertainment and chance to see what
Nevada can do in the way of agri-
cultural. livestock and mineral pro
duction
Bob Parry is President of the Ne
vada Agricultural Association, which
has the fair in charge, and w. d.
Phillips is Secretary, which vouches
for everything possible being done to
make the fair and track meet a sue
cess.
The association has made up a list
of liberal premiums for exhibits OF
every kind and is hanging up $1,000 in
purses for the races.
Outside OF the exhibits and racing
there will be many other attractions.
such as automobile and bicycle races,
base ball games and minor attractions.
a fair is one of the greatest adver-
tising schemes State or county can
pull off There was never one held that
did not attract large number OF peo-
pie, both from around home and
abroad, and the visitors are given a
chance to see what is being produced
by the different sections of the State
Many times this has been the means
OF indcuing homeseekers to locate in
our midst or capital to be invested in
mining or other enterprises The
State Fair should have splendid ex
hibit OF agricultural products this year

farm stock. from chickens to horses
Lyon county should surely take
steps to have good exhibit at the
State Fair She can make one that
will make the other sections of Ne
vada sit up and take notice Never
before were the hay and grain crops
better. and there are some gardens
about the valley that could make an
exhibit OF garden truck that would
make a French truck gardener turn
green with envy. We have noticed,
also, some splendid patches OF sugar
bects around this neighborhood, and
the new potatoes now coming III are
finer to eat than Strawberries. al
though they weigh about pound
apiece There are pumpkins and
squash and cucumbers now on the
vines that will equal il not surpass,
ANYTHING in this line grown anywhere
in the United States. Then, there is
big crop this year OF the hnest comb
honey ever seen anywhere 1t would
bring 80 cents pound cake il served
at Delmonico's and maybe more. Talk
about making an agricultural exhibit!
Lyon county can beat the world il she
will only try.
And for minerals she can put on an
exhibit OF copper ores that Will skin
anything in Nevada, or any other
State in the Union. There is every
character OF copper ore known in this
district. and some very beautiful as
well as valuable specimens can be Sc
cured In several of the properties
the water in the workings carries as
high as as IS per cent copper. \ bar
rel or two OF this might be sent along
for the thirsty who desire to become
copper lined and impervious to the
other liquid refreshments they might
indulge in. Lyon coutny can Ger
tainly make an exhibit at the State
Fair. and she probably will. This Is
one great big chance that the Com
mercial Club should not overlook. 1t
is not too early to begin TO gather a
mineral exhibit and the other material
can be gathered as it grows. Hustle
and see that Lyon gets some OF the
blue ribbons. 1t is the greatest adver-
tising you can give the county.
