The Boys and Girls Department
will take a tremendous leap forward
this year. A feature will be the work
of ten demonstration teams brought
from as many sections of the state,
the expenses of which are paid by the
State Fair.
The Dairy department again will
present an exhibit worthy of the
greatest dairy state in the Union. The
Women's Work department will be
respondent with exhibits along war
work lines. The Educational depart
ment, last year almost too large for
the Educational building, will be even
Of larger magnitude this year
The Bees and Honey department
will occupy new quarters and will
show decided gain in magnitude.
Aid to War the Keynote.
Every department and every fea-
ture of each department will this year
tend to be Of special service to Uncle
Sam along war aid lines. When the
classifications were arranged this de-
parture was kept in mind.
Not only in this period of war is in
creased production of essentials nee
essary, but producers must be aided
as far as possible in producing substi-
tutes for those supplies demanded for
the support Of the American armies
and their Allies in Europe.
That the big expositions of America
are invaluable for reaching the pro-
1ucers is fact recognized by the
American and Canadian Governments
early in the war period, and that is
why both Governments are strongly
cooperating with their agricultural
fairs.
Records for 1917 show that over 3d.
100000 attended fairs in the United
States alone, and among those who
attended the fairs were a large per-
centage of producers Of America.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is sending to the WiscOn-
sin State Fair this year an exhibit that
will occupy over 5000 square feet of
space with educational features.
A Hoover exhibit occupying as much
space is being prepared under direc-
ton of Mr.. Hoover's department.

to the village of Cambridge from his
native state, New York, in 1870 and
later on May %, 1873, marrying Isa-
bella, daughter of the late George and
Janet (Black) Dow, he was always
closely identified with the history and
progress of the village, fulfilling his
citizenship duties with all earnestness
and faithfulness and working always
for the material prosperity and moral
betterment Of the community. He held
several offices of trust and served with
wisdom and usefulness, representing
the village on the county board as sup
ervisor for twelve years, being school
director for fifteen years and justice of

BY OLIVER E. REMEY, Secretary.

Milwaukee, July %. - The Wiscon-
sin State Fair has shown an increase
of sixty-fve per cent in attendance in
three years.
Why?
During the past three years grounds,
buildings and other equipment have
been added to, and, still more impor-
tant, every department has been i'm
proved, and new departments and fea-
lures have been added, bringing the
great Exposition right up to date.
In 1917 the Wisconsin State Fair
took it's place among the Glass A ex-
positions of America, which means
that as well balanced, educational
institution it ranked with the best in
America
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-07-26

There are other expositions Of
greater notably the Texas
and Minnesota State Fairs-but none
is better balanced or eXcels in class,
and few are equal from the point Of
view of keeping stride with educational
progress.
Because of the improvement during
the past three years in the Wisconsin
State Fair, citizens of Wisconsin are
again giving the great Exposition their
confidence and patronage.
Strong Live Stock Exhibits.
What special features will the Wis
consin State Fair Of 1913 offer?
All basic departments of the State
Fair, of which there are thirty-two,
will be as strong as it is possible to
make them.
The cattle, swine and sheep divi-
sions will not only present mammoth
arrays, but quality will be improved.
This will be especially true of the cat
tie department, for at least three
champion herds never before seen in
Wisconsin will be present this year.
The 1917 poultry show was most
highly recommended, yet the 1918
poultry show will far surpass that of
1917.
Premiums offered for live stock and
poultry are: Horses, $10,170.00; cat
tie, $1O,4240O; sheep, $4,049.O0; swine,
$5,2S000; poultry, S4,302.00.
Because of the great gains made by
motor driven vehicles, horse depart
ments at all fairs have suffered. This
ought not to be the case this year, for
the future of the horse breeding in
dustry was never brighter. Every eff
fort will be made to have strong
horse department this year, and there
will be several notable features in this
department.
Features of County Exhibits.
In the department of farm crops and
county exhibits there will be an un-
usual display by several counties. A
number of Wisconsin counties are
noted for live stock. Several of them
are arranging to make live stock ex-
hibits by counties, the exhibits COM
peting in the regular classifcations
for live stock. These exhibits will be
segregated and advertised for the ben
eft of the counties making them.
This department also will present
new exhibits tending to exemplify up
to-date land clearing and farming.
The department of horticulture and
plants and flowers will not only pre-
sent greatly augmented exhibits, but
the building occupied by this depart
ment will be respondent in floral and
plant decorations provided by florists
of Milwaukee.

On akino.

For a nation to make peace only be-
cause it is tired of war, and, as it were,
in order just to take breath, is in di-
rect subversion of the end and object
of the war which was it's sole justifica-
ton. 'Tis like a poor waysore foot
traveller getting up behind a coach that
is going the contrary way to his

GOVERNOR ON THE FAIR.

Gov. 6. l.. Phillip has spent
several days at each of the last
three state fairs. He says:
"Those actively engaged in
production in Wisconsin especial
Iy cannot afford to miss. our
mammoth annual State Fair, and
urge all citizens of the State
who possibly can do so to attend
this years exposition because of
the beneficial educational results
TO be obtained from this model

seen it during the past three
years need no urging to avail
themselves of this opportunity
for inspiration"

Why Patronize a Fair?


Nowhere in America can so much
along educational and inspirational
lines be obtained at so small an out
lay as can be obtained at any Of
Americas worthwhile fairs.
Every basic department of the Wis
consin State Fair is built along up-to-
date educational lines, and every de-
partment is full of inspiration for
those interested.
No 1918 fair will present better
array of tractors and machinery than
will be seen at the Wisconsin State
Fair All of the space in machinery
row and in the tractor section was
taken before June Is. Twenty-six
tractor companies will make exhibits
and also will demonstrate in the I'M
mediate vicinity of the fair grounds.
Scarcity of labor is a serious prob
lem to producers. In Machinery row
will be shown the products OF inVen-
tive genius and manufacture along
AGRICULTURAL lines that will take the
place of the farm hand now doing his
bit on the western front.
Every cooperation is given makers
of machinery in providing displays
that will be worth a journey from any
corner of Wisconsin.
Machinery row will be an exposition
of all the best machinery that is
available on the Wisconsin market,
and the exhibitors are those not afraid
to show what they have to offer in
competition with other makers of ma
chinery.
improvements Added This Year.
Because OF the war, building appro-
priations available have not been used
this wear. Work of improving grounds
and buildings has been confined to
completing the water and drainage sys-
tenn. painting buildings and repairing
roads and streets.

fact that Chicago put on a consider

Monday was given as the cause.
Packers and shippers bought a great

The result was a falling off quoted

In general, the hog market was
