FESTIVAL SUCCESS IN
. EVERY RESPECT
Farmers Knock Off Long Enough
to Take Part in Richland
e.. Annual Fair

The Third Annual Richland Festival
is thing of the past and will surely
go down i'm the annals of local history
as a decided success financially, edu-
cationally and socially. The attend
ance was exceptional. On account OF
the season of the year, practically ev-
cry farmer being busy picking apples
or filling silos, so that it was only
thru the actual desire to get together
and make the affair a success that
they took the time to go joy-making.
Large delegations from Prosser, Pas
co and Kennewick were in attendance
and all expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the showing made by the
people of the Richland district.
The displays were very tastefully
arranged and altho not as numerous
as last year, gave anyone not ac-
quainted with the district very good
impression of the wonderful oppor-
,tunities afforded the farmer in this
part of the Columbia River Valley.
The livestock department was credit
to Richland, many of the cattle ex-
hibited being on par with those
shown at much larger fairs and the
enthusiasm noticeable among the
dairymen present speaks well for the
future of this industry In the Richland
district.
The Women's department, while not
as comprehensive as last year, was a
credit to the committee who worked so
untiringly to make it success.
The program arranged for both
days of the carnival was highly APP
preciated, large share of it being
along educational lines. The commit
tee desires to extend thanks to all who
so kindly assisted in making it a sue
cess, especially to Miss Sutherland
and Messrs. Luke Powell and Lee M.
Lampson, whose lectures were highly
instructive.
