Department Shows Wonderful
Growth Since 1915 - Ten
Demonstration Teams to Com

Parades.

Milwaukee, Aug. 5-The Boys and
iris department of the Wisconsin
State Fair was established in 1915, and
the growth of this display of work Of
farm boys and girls has been remark
able. This year this department will
be n of the strongest exhibits of the
State Fair, and n of the best in
America. The State Fair was among
the pioneer expositions in promoting
this work.
A feature of this years display will
be the work of ten demonstration
teams brought from as many sections
of the state, the State Fair paying the
expenses of these teams. The win
ming team will be sent to the national
competition of demonstration teams at
the Interstate Live Stock Exposition
at Sioux City, Ia, the week following
the Wisconsin State Fair.
Uncle Sam is taking a greater inter-
est than ever in work of farm boys
and girls, and as a result the number
of competitors will be twice as large
as in 1917. Thomas L. Bewick, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the U. S. Gov
ernment's representative in charge OF
bows and girls work in Wisconsin, has
been superintendent of this depart
ment ever since it was put on as a
feature of the State Fair.
The Boys and Girls camp. under
direction and supervision of the Y. Nj.
c. A. and the Y. w. G. A., is one Of
the big features of the department.
All competitors live in this camp dur
ing the State Fair. Three monster
tents, so by $50 feet each, are re-
quired to house this camp.
Liberal premiums are offered. Reg
ular premiums amount to $2,323.50 and
special premiums to 1915, making a
total of 50, 699 so. Frederick D. I'm
derwood. president of the Erie rail
road. and owner of Fewacres Farm,
Wauwatosa, is donor of the champion
ship prizes of $500 in gold each for
the champion boy farmer and girl
farmer. The Milwaukee Association
of Commerce gives special scholar
ships and many others contribute val
liable special prizes.
Competitions are along lines ap-
proved by the United States Govern
ment after much investigation.
