Late County Fair Notes
"a perfect colt" said the judge as
he looked at the five months, 700
pound Percheron colt, Jene la Banche,
foal of Kardamine. Both horses were
exhibited by John Middleton of Dal-
las and both will be sent to the state
fair where Mr.. Middleton is confident
the colt will take first prize. Kar-
damine won the grand championship
for Percheron mares at the county
fair.

Douglas Gillian s Angoras had but
little competition for the ribbons.
Most of Mr.. Gillian s stock was sired
by Riddell's 22-23, the winner of the
championship at the Panama-Pacifie
International exposition. OF so head
last wintexr Mr.. Gillian did not lose
a single goat. Thirty-nine out of IL
kids lived. This is a remarkable rec
ord for a man as young in the goat
breeding game as Mr.. Gillian.

Falls City exhibit that attracted at
tention, for in booth adjoining Mr..
Lee, j. S. S. Powell and his son
had display that would be a credit
to any county fair in Oregon. The
Powells have a 68-acre farm, adioin-
ing Falls City, considerable portion
of which is bottom land and Is acres
Of which is planted to grain. And he
is another farmer who gets full meas
ure in his work with the soil. Strange
and queer varieties of pumpkins, and
other classes of vegetables were dis
played in the Powell booth, and the
owner showed that he was particu-
larly interested in demonstrating that
practically every variety known to
This climate could be raised within
the borders of Polk county. 1T have
heard some people say" said Mr.
Powell" that Bluestem wheat could
not be successfully raised in this see
tion. But look at this" and he held
up bunch of fine wheat which had
threshed AZ bushels, machine meas
ure, to the acre. 1t was of the Blue
stem variety, and was as fine a berry
as any miller could wish to grind.
"Of course we can't do it year after
year," continued Mr.. Powell, for it
is necessary to plant the land to other
crops every few years in order to put
back into the soil what wheat takes
out of it. However, the farm this
was grown on has been in constant
use for the past 55 or go years and
we have kept up the land by liberal
use of manure and by diversifying
our crops.' Like the Lee booth, Mr..
Powell s section contained an almost
endless variety, the display compris-
ing over 100 different kinds of fruits
and vegetables raised on the Powell
farm.

have been uniformly good through
out Oregon and Washington and there
is / general better feeling along the

"Some Pumpkins" a man was ov-
erheard to say as he stopped in front
Of a booth, the banner of which an
nounced it was the exhibit of the
Monmouth grange. And they had
some pumpkins too. But pumpkins
were not the only thing in evidence,
1t seems as if nature tried to overdo
herself this year over in the Mon
mouth section. Luscious fruits, the
finest Of vegetables, nuts and grass
es, grains tastily arranged, and othet
farm products were shown in many
varieties and the fair visitor who en-
thused to the extent of "some pump
kins' no doubt had the entire ex-
hibit in mind.

Rich d Ellis were responsible fol-
the iron mike" where Canyon creek
water was dispensed, free to all, in
the exhibit building. 1t took some
work and some expense but-well,
Rich & Ellis did it.
One OF the most attractive displays
in the exhibit building was that of
the Polk County Fruitgrowers' asso-
citation. E. e. Parker, the horticul-
turist in charge, said there were 30
varieties of apples in the exhibit.
There were q boxes of individual va
rieties and about nine other different
kinds on plates. HI. M. Williamson,
secretary Of the state board of horti-
culture, judged. Mr.. Williamson said
the quality of apples shown was good.
c. H. Park of Salem, chairman of the
state board of horticulture, was in
strumental in gathering a large part
of the exhibit from his Brush College
neighborhood.
S. G. Ancorias had some pretty en-
tries in the poultry show.
Recalling the days of Indian war
fare, when the Yakima tribe had its
outbreak away back in 1855 and '56,
four old time Polk residents met in
reunion at the fair yesterday. These
four old-timers were Thomas j. Hay
ter and James G. Campbell of Dali
las, j. L. Morrison of Rocca and S.
III. Tetherow of Falls City. In com
pany with 104 other men and under
command of Capt. A. N. Armstrong,
these four pioneers left this vicinity
for the Yakima country where for
six months they remained until the
Indians were subdued They were
gone from Oregon through the winter

Away back in the earlier days OF
this county there was woman who
took upon herself the annual task of
letting the other people of Oregon
know what could be done in Polk. 1t
was before the time of the county
fair, in fact % years ago, that Mrs.
f. A. Wolf made one of her first trips
over the county gathering an exhibit
for the state fair at Salem. With
"old dobbin'' and a buck board she
made the rounds OF the county, gath
ering up the best Of fruits, vegetables
and grains and preparing them in her
own way, giving freely of her time,
and took them to the fair For many,
many years she did this, and so inter
esting was the work to her that she
has gone for five days and nights
without rest, travelling over the coun-
ty to get together these exhibits. The
enthusiasm she had in the work, for
she won five blue ribbons and one OF
her exhibits was sent to the st. Louis
exposition, really was the foundation
of the present county fair for wher-
ever she went she preached her doe
trine of better farming and the idea
of a comparison each fall of what
farmers were doing. Nor has her en-
thusiasm waned as the years have
rolled by. For one of the prettlest
booths of the fair was the profusion
of flowers that eraced one corner OF
the pavilion. Mrs. Wolf is a dahlia
specialist. and if this flower ever
reached a state of perfection, 1t has
done so at her hands. The arrange
ment of the booth called forth good
deal of praise from fair visitors most
" for the dahlias, for there were llt-
erallv hundreds of them grouped IN
at least dozen different varieties.
Sweet peas. roses, geraniums, earna-
tions. begonias, elysium, hydrangia
and what not in the way of flowers
were also in This Falls City woman
display. And she is proud to know
that interest in the fair is increasing
each wear: that it has now become an
institution in Polk which can no long
er be dispensed with.

Hewitt we're the attraction for many.
Polk county timber is one OF It's
most valuable natural resources. Dur
ing the past several years there has
been no fire loss of any consequence
in this timber, due to the vigilance
of District Warden Fuller and his
efficient force of patrolmen. That ev-
erv possible precaution is taken, es-
pecially with campers, hunters and
others who go into the timber, rs
shown by the numerous warning signs
which are tackled to the walls of one
corner of the pavilion. People who
are not accustomed to the ways of the
woods. find those caution signs scat
tered along the trails and at the
camping and watering places, and
thev point out the results Of care
less use of matches, cigarettes and
fires. Another thing that has been
in the prevention of fire
loss Is the telephone. Through Polk 5
timber belt there are m"ny miles OF
telephone.
To show Just how tensive the
system IS Mr.. Fuller has a map on
one of the walls showing the lines his
patrolmen have built as well a. hose
which are owned by private in erests.
And another map gives the visitor an
idea of the extensiveness Of the forest
area Of the state. The exhibit IS fur

Concord school surely has some
craftsmen with the needle and thread
in attendance. The fancy work of
this exhibit was splendid. There also
were some big vegetables.

The Independence school exhibit, in
yellow and white, caught the eye of
the visitors. Then, to hold the atten-
ton, was fine display of vegetables,
particularly cabbages. On one cake,
which, by the way, was light, was
marked " first experience" 1t was
good one for the first try.

Mrs. Tessa Shiers' ducks were COM
plimented again and again.

The booth Of the boys and girls
industrial club work, though weak
ened by the withdrawal of students
work for the individual and town and
community booths, was one of the
inspiration points Of the fair. Wheh
mere children can fashion such cloth
ing as shown in this exhibit there
will probably be no fear for the fu-
ture housewife.
