OHIO FAIR Of INEST|MABLE
VALUE TO FARMERS OF STATE
COmmOnWeah's Greatest institution to Show Possibilities Of
Scientific Achievement, Exposition Takes Place
During Last Five Days Of August

because the farmer ives led to think
that the pure bred stock proposition
was just scheme of the breeders to
unload their animal wares upon him.
What has changed this idea? The
average farmer says that the desire
for better cattle, better sheep, better
horses and better swine has been in
stilled through visits to the State
Fair.
Perhaps only few acted on the
notion that they received while look
ing at the prize winners. Even SO,
each man who obtained better stock
was missionary, and today one may
travel through districts where farm
ers have found that the pure bred an
imal is a dividend producer. The
entire state has not yet been con-
verted, but if progress continues at
the rate of the last two decades the
conversion will be pretty near uni
versal.
But the possibilities Of scientific
achievement-whichs sis the real lesson
of the fa1r-are not to be easily Sx-
hausted.
With farm labor growing scarcer,
demand, more and more, will be for
more intensive cultivation of the soil
and, more and more, must the pro-
duction per acre be increased. If the
1O-year average, which was once
higher than it is today, has again
been gaining slewly, that achieve
ment is largely traceable to the State
Fair, the college Of agriculture and
the experiment farm, experts declare.
The state can provide the means
Of educations It can assemble the
products. 1t can point to the better
way. 1t is asking little when it asks
all its citizens to come to the fair,
enjoy the time and profit by the les
sons that are to be learned.

II it would be possible to ascertain
just what the Ohio State Fair has
done for farmers Of the Buckeye
state the actual presentation Of fig
ures would be so large as nearly GER
tain to astound the state. The name
of "Ohio's greatest institution" !"
which has been applied to the fair,
IS not praiseful enough to describe
the fair which will be held this year
at Columbus during the last Eve days
of August.
There are three institutions which
are making over the business Of
farming in Ohio. One of these is the
college of agriculture Of Ohio State
University. The second is the ex-
pertinent station at Wooster, and the
third is the Ohio State Fair. It is
not possible for the state at present
to entertain everyone at the expert
ment farm Ror can all the farmer
boys possibly hope to reach the col
Iege Of agriculture.
Everyone can go to the State Fair,
which congresses into narrow space
many of the good things Of both the
other institutions. How valuable the
fair has been as producer of better
farming and better results in every
thing that relates to the soil is hard
to estimate. But it is reasonably
safe to say that every well bred ami
NAL on any farm in Ohio is there
largely because of the State Fair.
When Ohio farmers first were
urged to raise thoroughbred live
stock, the idea was regarded as 80
novel that it encouraged actual op-
position in some parts Of the country

ant necessity for the producers of the
United States to feed their own peo-
pie and help to keep the people of
the allied nations from starvation.
food conservation and preservation
will be an emphasized feature of this
years Ohio State Fair at Columbus,
the last five days of August.
There will be various demonstra-
tions, in charge of experts, of food
preservation and there will be lee
lures on scientific feeding, and much
literature on these important subjects
will be distributed. Farmers will be
urged to continue with increased eff
forts extensive and intensive cultiva-
ton of the soil.
Gardeners will not be overlooked.
The state is showing its appreciation
of rural and city gardening by offer
ing more than $4,000 in cash prizes
for the best products.

year. The wise husbandman does not
expect luck when he plants a crop.
He makes fortune come his way.
When all follow the methods that OF
agricultural leaders are showing us,
there will be no such thing as food
shortage, prices will be more reason
able and the profits of the farm will
be larger than ever before.
"These facts directly join to the
State Fair. During the last week in
August every farmer in Ohio should
spend at least day there. The visit
to this greatest of Ohio institutions
should properly not merely be di-
version from ordinary duties. The
expense should be provided for in the
annual farm budget, just as money
for seeds, machinery, farm repairs,
improvements and livestock are parts
of the budget. The few dollars spent
will return rich profit.
"It is worth while to learn what
the other fellow is doing. 1t is ex-
tremely profitable to have the in
spiration of witnessing an assem-
blage of the high-class livestock, the
perfect fruits and grains that over
flow the exhibit buildings. The
watchful fellow can pick up a hint
here and there whose value cannot
be overvalued.
"The farmers boys and girls are
entitled to a trip to Columbus. The
governors office will be open for a
continuous reception to these visitors.
Though war time duties press upon
the executive time, the governor will
be sure to find time to welcome
them"
Governor Cox hopes to pay several
visits to the fair, and may deliver
addresses there.

Governor James NJ. Cox is an en-
thusiaStic champion of the Ohio
State Fair. 1t is one Of the great
Institutions of the Buckeye common
wealth that receives a great deal of
his attention and cooperation. Being
a farmer. Governor Cox is able to
appreciate the true value of the fair
to those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits.
The governor believes that-children,
particularly those of the rural COM
munities, should be sent to the fair,
where they will have opportunities to
observe and learn as in no other way.
Governor Cox has this to say of the
fair:
"One of the hopeful signs of our
day and generation is the increasing
Importance that is attached to such
institutions as the Ohio State Fair.
Living in a state Of almost boundless
fertility, necessity did not, for many
years, teach us the needed lessons of
soil conservation and proper cultiva-
ton. Crops grew in the virgin soil
with little attention and money
might be made through methods that
have become impossible in recent
times.

the basic principles of an industry
that is becoming more exacting each

Intent and Principle of
Protection.

Cheap cost of living and cheap
men can never be made the basis
of economic progress. Cheap
production means cheap labor;
cheap labor means lew prices;
low prices means disaster TO AM
erican industry. There never
has been, and there never Will
be, a time when labor received
starvation wages that the Amer
lean people were or will be pros
porous. The business prosperity
of this OF any other country de-
pends, to a very great measure
upon the purchasing power OF
the masses of the people, and
what is true of cne industry is
also true of another industry
When high prices for farm and
manufactured products and Am
erican labor prevail, prosperity
also prevails.
A man at work is certainly the
most valuable asset of a nation.
Idle men, consuming and not pro-
ducing, burn the candle at both
ends, and are worse than worth
less. Individuals cannot make
conditions under which cur in
dustries may be successfully con-
Quoted. Lawmakers must create
the conditions. The duty OF the
lawmaker is to shelter industries
from disastrous competition from
outsiders, and to encourage and
stimulate present and build up
new industries. A protective
tariff is in the nature of a wall
around cur garden to protect the
worker and his product from for
eign intrusion
The intent and principle of a
Or tective tariff law is none 9TH
er than to foster capital and lab.
or at home. American markets
are the best markets in the Worlo
for American prodCcts. and great
care should be taken in the en-.
actmenC of laws to protect Am
erican industry from foreign com
petitive products.
An equitably arranged tariff
means no willfully idle men. Or
the other hand, it means stability
to both capital and labor, and il
Our greatest safeguard to Amer
leans against ruinous foreign
competition. Representative j

Supervisors May Haze
Three Year Tern,
County Board Must Decide as to Terms
for Which Supervisors are to be
Elected in Spring.

City and village members of the
County Board of Supervisors may next
spring be elected for a term of three
years, as under a law passed by the
last legislature the County Board, at
the annual meeting next fall, is en-
powered to pass resolution to that
effect if it sees fit.
AS to the several towns, the law
provides that each town board, at the
next spring election, shall elect a board
OF three members for d term of one,
two or three years, the choice of chair
man to be designated by the ballot.
Each following year member of a
town board is to be elected for period
of three years.
The law was enacted SO as to prevent
too frequent changes in the personnel
of the county boards, it being claimed
that new men every year interfered
with the workings Of the board and
delayed plans prepared by he boards
because of the new members not being
familiar with the work.
Tt appeared today as though the ma
iority members of the board favored
the adoption of such resolution at the
meeting to be held next November.
