Appeal Sent Out To-day to
Many Oranges.
IOFFER VALUABLE CASH PRIZES
Competition Among Agricul-
turists of the State.
Camping Facilities for Families
on Grounds.
OFFER VALUABLE CASH PRIZES

Not since the days of the popular
pumpkin" shows in Topeka have the
farmers of Shawnee and other counties
exhibited SO much interest in a fair at
the capital city as is being shown in the
state fair, Topeka, September 1919. The
management of the Kansas State Fair
association included features in the adj
vance sheets of the premium list with
special view to appealing to the farm
ers. An innovation this year will be the
collective agricultural exhibits by
oranges, and indications are that there
will be strong competition among the
oranges CT the state for the valuable
cash prizes offered.
Several Shawnee county oranges have
already stated that they will have dis
plays at the fair next fall; in fact two
oranges have reported that crops have
been planted with a special view to
showing at Topeka. On an average Of
twice each week for the last few weeks
OFFICIALS of the fair association have
been attending grange meetings in
Shawnee county and explaining the
new grange exhibit proposition.
Many farmers have told the fair Of
f1cials that they expect to attend the
falr next fall. and bring their families
along. There will be free camping ia
clhtfes on the grounds, and there will be
no charge for taking vehicles into the
grounds next September
Letter to An Oranges.
George e. Clark has recently sent out
letter to all the oranges of the state
explaining the new features. Following
are extracts taken from the letter:
I'VE feel that this fair should be in
every sense a farmers fair. We are
Offering some very liberal premiums on
nearly everything the farmer raises.
We are putting on for the first time a
Kansas grange department which we
nope will be the big show of our next
fair. In order to make this grange dis
play feature we are Offering sufficient
money to encourage each grange to ex-
htbit. If they do all come out, we will
pay in premiums $685. for the grange
exhibits alone
we would also like to call your at
tention to our corn offerings. We feel
that they are sufficient to interest all
farmers. or the boys can take advant-
age OF them as well. We shall instruct
our judge to give a short talk explain
ing why he rates a certain ear or exhibit
above another, which we feel sure will
be instructive and appreciated by each
contestant and the public. ''
Entries for the grange exhibits must
be In on or before September 1. Each
grange will be allowed sufficient space
for exhibition purposes not to exceed
fifteen running feet. Sheaf grains and
grasses will be displayed on the walls
In ornamental style. The exhibits will
be educational in nature intended to
snow what can be produced in the To-
caHtles which the respective oranges

lasts an entire day, relieving that
