STATE FAIR WORTH WHILE.

The South Dakota state fair IL GER
tainly worth while both from the
standpoint of the exhibitor and also
from that OF the visitor, according to
statements made by certain State col
lege men, who are connected with
the producing end OF agriculture.
c. Larsen, professor Of dairy hus-
bandry, says: II know OF no other
place where the various products are
placed on exhibition side by side, and
where the people in the state have
such splendid opportunities for COM
pairing, not only one crop with an
other and one animal with another.
but where several specimens from the
same crop are shown from the dit.
ferent parts of the state and whore
also the importance OF individual &C.
lection within one breed of stock car
be e The state and agricultural
fairs are about the only places where
the dealers and customers get to-
gether In person. This IL being rea-
liked more and more by the people
and accounts in part for the increased
attendance at the state fair and tho
increase in the number Of exhibits"
James w. Wilson, head OF the AMI
NAL husbandry department, 10 .
strong booster for the state fair, -
annually evidenced by the splendid
exhibit of State college livestock
which he sends to the big exposition.
He says: "As to the value Of the
farmer exhibiting at the fair: II It
Is no value to the farmer, 1t Is surely
Of no value to any one else; because
the state fair is supposed to be the
farmers show"
A. N. Hume, head of the agronomy
department and substations, believes
that the South Dakota state fair is q
great educator. 1T is where people
go to see things in the line OF agri-
cultural products he says, land
in many instances exhibits there are
better than they ever saw before.
They are better people for having
been at the state fair. This is espe-
cially true Of farm people who need
a good chance to break up their own
isolation and who need just as much
as any people to merge their individ-
ual thought on a community and state
wide basis, and further on q national
basis. This continuity of rural-con-
seriousness must come about thru
educational means Of which the fair
Is an illustration. 1t cannot come
about thru state and federal bureau
cracies.
Every effort should be made 20
emphasize the educational features
Of the fair. Our South Dakota state
fair has attained . high standard In
this respect"

The School Election.

1t is not long before the people
of this school district will be
called upon to designate two
more directors for our school
organization, that is, to fill the
vacancies that expire this year.
These directors do not get one
penny for their services. but
quite to the contrary, they are
sometimes consured and con-
demned when they should be
. praised. The office of school
director is no place for crouch
or one who has an axe to ground,
and our people should be careful
in the selection of the right kind
of material.
While we are on the subject,
we do not know whether Elmer
Stephens will be candidate for
director again, nor have we asked
him, but we do know that as
president of the school board he
did his duty to the school as
he saw it. For one we would be
glad if he could be induced to &C
cept it. 1t seems in this case
that it is the office looking for the
man, and we believe that Mr..
Stephens is that man. How
about it, Mr.. Stephens. will you
accept again?
