swing and we want to have good list of
things to show and is the time to gather
them. fair is no larger a success than the
farmers of . state or county make IL. To be
there Is good music special amusements
and horse races. but they are only part Of the
make up, and If that all there was to a
fair we would soon stop having them. They
have tssir part 10 play in the fair and We
enjoy them, but the farmers of the county Id
state must show the good things they have
raised and display them others see what
really can be accomplished. II often happens
that farmer makes up his mind to produce
something good and wants to show il at the
fair TO surprise the people. and in doing he
not only surprises the people but surprises him
self never thinking he could produce as good
thing he did. We should all Of us make
as big an effort possible TO show all the
good things we can at the fairs, especially
