FARMERS TAKING PART

This year the farmers are taking
an unusual part in the Colorado-New
Mexico fair. The Farm Bureau took
up the matter and decided to take an
active part in the way of furnishing
exhibits of all kinds. 1t is presumed
that this will be the banner year in
the way Of exhibitions of live stock
end agricultural products.
While many believe that the chief
attractions of the fair are the big
races and field contests, at the same
time there are many who feel that
the most attractive feature of big
fair is the LIVESTOCK and agricultural
exhibits. Many come to see what the
country can produce. They are real
ly interested along that line and it is
the purpose Of the fair officials to
place before the visitors exhibits that
will give them some idea of what our
farmers are doing in the great San

good conditions.

the San Luis valley and the San Juan
country are identical. Both are en-
gagged in farming and stockraising.
Here is an opportunity for the peo-
pie of these sections to meet and
compare notes for the mutual bene-

down here with the idea of capturing
first prize money will, of course.
