UNITING NORTHERN ARIZONA
How Frontier Day and the North
ern Arizona Fair Can Best Help
Yavapai County.

Yavapai County.
People may have different opin-
ions, of Frontier Day and the North
ern Arizona Fair, but l think it is
of a great advantage to the peo-
pie of United Northern Arizona to
draw them closer in contact and ac-
quaintance with each other. Also
on Frontier and Fair days many
people learn of and see things they
never heard OF or saw before.
They see and know of the hes;
rough riders, OF the wild west sports
OF the prize winning agricultural
products and of the stock and min
eral products that Northern Arizona
can put forth. Another thing is to
bring back the old memories Of
historical events of Arizona.
Many people take pride and in
terest in producing better classes or
higher grade productions in order
to have prizes of honor. This in
creases the ambition OF the farmer
TO bring his land to higher state
of cultivation. also bringing a higher
value to his land. This improves
northern Arizona and tends TO bring
it TO the front, thus making it ap-
pear more desirable for people to
locate and make their home in this
region.
Wild and rough riding cowboys
take pleasure on Frontier Day in
broncho busting, roping and racing
for amusement. They take pride in
keeping up the old memories of
this part of Arizona. Many boys
do nothing but live in the hills from
year TO year herding cattle and
sheep and practice riding, roping,
throwing and many other sports.
They are proud to win prizes or
honor as best rider, fastest racer.
or what j; may be in the wild west
sports.
Many men OF northern Arizona
are engaged in the herding and
raising of sheep and cattle. 1t is
the desire of many to raise and pro-
duce the best bred, latest, pref
test and most cared for stock. which
they put on exhibition Fair Day
Many men devote their entire at
tention and like nothing better than
to raise and herd stock over the
beautiful hills of Northern Arizona
and prepare them for the Fair.
There are many poultry ranches
in Northern Arizona. Hundreds are
engaged in poultry raising. They
make their living and grow wealthy
on them. In addition they put on
exhibit such high grade poultry as
would score the highest
One OF the principal industries
OF Northern Arizona Is the raising
of agricultural products. The far
mers try their best to raise and pro-
duce the prize winners of vege-
tables, fruits and grains. They take
more interest in cultivating ard
irrigating the soil in order to bring
it to a higher state of cultivation
and produce the prize winning pro-
ducts which they put on exhibit ard
feel repaid for their work if they
get the blue ribbon.
1t is a great sight to see natures
products from the soil. Many things
may be on exhibition that some
people from surrounding States and
even some people from Arizona
would not know that Northern Ari-
iona ever raised. They really see
more and appreciate it more than il
they had read about them.
Mining is of great importance in
this region, smelling and refining
OF the products OF the great copper
beds. Many a prospector has be
come wealthy on the rich beds of
native copper in Northern Arizona.
1t has been decided by the great
mining experts OF the east that the
copper deposits in Northern Arizo-
na are just in their infancy and
great areas can be yet obtained.
One great advantage of the min
ing industry is the economical pro-
duction and generating of electricity
which supplies the power to operate
