BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
WORK SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

An encouraging feature in the
white peoples exhibits is the work
of the boys and girls clubs, coming
up In the form of canned goods and
preserves Of every kind. A marked
advancement has been made since
the last fair held in this county, in
the matter of products of the farm.
People are evidently using better
seeds and better breeds, or varieties.
In former years watermelons were
small, but now very large ones are
shown, such as are shipped in from
Payette. There is still tendency to
exhibit the giant articles of any
species, the freaks for size, but there
is also a greater tendency to put in
the normal, the medium sized, fine
formed, good quality. In the earlier
days people went too much for the
giants of every species, but that has
grown unpopular and people are get
ting down to the selection of the
things that are wanted in commerce.
The bee men have very fine exhibit
of honey and beeswax. The asylum
is represented with fine vegetable
products. The woman's building is
arrayed with fine work of every kind
and beautiful display Of flowers.

FEEDER TYPES ARE
SHOWN BY BUREAU
County Agent Stephens
Has Valuable Educa-
tional Feature

One. of the. valuable educational
features of the fair is the feeder ex.
hibit arranged by County Agent E.
WI Stephens, who has gone to con-
siderable pains to get together q
bunch Of stock to illustrate the de-
.sirable and undesirable types OF
feeder stock, Mr.. Stephens has car
ried on campaign among the farm
ers of the county In an effort to i'm
prove the breed Of stock, and he has
arranged this exhibit as an object
lesson to the farmers of the COM
munity.
Alongside a pen which contains
some fine specimens of Hereford cat
tie is pen Of undesired, nondescript
stock too often found on the stock
growers range. The same COMPARE
son is carried out with sheep and
hogs. Mr.. Stephens points out that
the cost of feeding the stock to the
grower is about the same, while the
selling price ON the market is gen.
orally a cent or more a pound. The
grower not only gets the benefit of a
larger animal when he feeds the de-
sirable type, but higher price for
his product. ~
Farmers of the county who are in
terested in feeder stock should be
particular interested in this exhibit.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
SHOWS MODEL FARM

Visitors at the fair grounds will
see some new and unique features
this time. We especially invite your
attention to the exhibit by the uni
versity extension department, in the
east end of floral hall. They have a
little model farm in operation, under
the management Of q. G. Taylor of
the department of agriculture. He
has little fields of grain, six inches
high, green and rich. He has sugar
beets, just out of the ground and
ready to be thinned. He goes on
with a model Of real farm operat-
ing on modern principles and it
should greatly interest the boys and
girls who are young as well as the
boys and girls who are middle aged
or old. We suggest that all the
family see the model farm and give
it some study.

BIGGEST ALFALFA PLANT
IS OF GRIMM VARIETY

To George A. Line of Springfield
belongs the credit of having the big
gest alfalfa plant ever put on ex-
hibit in this county. 1t Is two years
old and stands seven and one-half
feet in height. 1t is of the pure
Grimm variety, kind Of alfalfa that
has it's crown several inches below
the surface, instead of at the sur
face as the common alfalfa does.
From the crown, the roots branch
out in various directions to great
distance. The roots on this one were
cut off only few feet long for>Mr.
Line and his hired man could not
pursue the roots more than half a
day. They dug them out with fine
instruments so they would not cut
off the roots Unexpectedly. The tops
of this plant are we'll preserved and
are attached securely to a muslin
support that stands about ten feet
in height. The plant originally con-
tanned twelve pounds of hay, but the
leaves kept falling off while it was
in process of being attached to the
muslin and now it contains the roots,
the stock, the stems, the seeds and
part Of the leaves. 1t is a wonder
full demonstration Of the productive
ness of Grimm alfalfa. Visitors are
invited to observe the difference in
the root system of Grimm and COM
mon alfalfa. The common alfalfa
has its crown at the surface and
when the ground freezes and heaves
it is easily broken off and killed.
The Grimm alfalfa provides against
heaving and winter killing by hay
ing its crown deeply imbedded in the
soil.

destroy the force of their position,
and their claims. Mr.. Hale says 1t
was purely the opposition to Mr..
Bills that brought about the use of
the petition. /. He denies the charge
that it was a non-partisan move or
that it was non-partisans who coun-
seled with him when he decided to
go on. He says it was about two
dozen Republicans, tho he admits
that the non-partisians rallied to the
proposition, after the movement was
started.
1t is freely admitted by people in
different parts Of the county that
since the matter was thoroly aired
there has been large rallying of
forces In support of Mr.. Bills. The
same claim is being made by support
ers Of Mr.. Hale, all Of which goes
to show that the success of another
fellow is a hard thing to forgive
among neighbors.
Now that the row Is over and there
has been test Of strength, now that
all hands have had a chance to take
a good look thru the political wind
shield, we predict good get-to-
gether meeting, Saturday, and the
selection Of man who will carry the
Republican banner to victory with a
big majority.

Near Accident
| When Motorcycle
| Spills During Race

After they had won their motor
cycle race at the opening of the race
program Tuesday, Harry Cooper and
Ray Peck narrowly escaped serious
injury when their machine over
turned. Both machines in the race
carried side cars, and Cooper was
driving while Peck was occupying
the side car. Cooper and Peck had
crossed the finish line first and were
continuing around the track. At the
turn at the west end the machine.
1t is thought, struck a soft spot in
the track causing it to skid and over
turn. Both occupants were for
tunately thrown clear of the ma
chine, but were severely bruised and
badly skinned up. Both men were
given first aid treatment at the
grounds and were then removed to
the hospital, where it is said they
will recover.

JERSEY SWINE
FEATURE EXHIBIT
Prize Winning Champ
ions of Richards Live
stock Co. Shown

One of the real features of the
county fair is the exhibit by the
Richards Livestock company Of vir-
ginia, Idaho Of forty head of their
prize-winning Duroc-Jersey hogs.
Manager Jess Richards sis personally
in charge Of the exhibit, and he has
just arrived here from Helena.
Mont. where he exhibited at the
Montana state fair. Some indication
Of the class of animals Mr.. Richards
is exhibiting may be had from the
fact that he won twenty first prizes
and fourteen second prizes at the
Helena fair, including grand champ
ion boar and SOW, senior champion
boar and SOW and junior champion
boar and SOW, together with q silver
cup for the best display of Duroc-
Jersey hogs. Mr.. Richards has been
exhibiting his herd at numerous fairs
in recent years. including the Utah
and Idaho state fairs, and has always
taken the bulk of the premiums In
the Duroc-Jersey class.
This exhibit will no doubt be q
center of interest, for seldom do
stock growers have the opportunity
OF seeing such herd Of purebred
hogs. 49,

INDIAN EXHIBITS PRESENT
ACTIVITIES AT FORT HALL

The Fort Hall Indians have an in
teresting exhibit in the floral hall.
Built in background of American
flags and evergreen boughs is fine
array of agricultural and art work
There are many useful things manu-
featured entirely from the natural
materials and products of the land
For instance, moccasins are made
OF buckskin and decorated with
highly colored porcupine quilts, fash
toned into beauty to take the place of
beads, as they are ordinarily deco
rated. Very beautiful sleeve holders
were decorated with the porcupine
quills. A very fine looking halter
was decorated with beads. There
were a number of beautiful hat
bands and belts, decorated with
beads. A large display Of pictures,
flowers and herbs made by Indian
boys and girls at the mission oc-
cupied central place in the exhibit.
The head and bust of man, much
larger than life size is made entirely
Of the seeds Of grains, grasses and
vegetables. Seeds of different sizes
and colors give form and color to
the picture. There are white beans,
brown beans, big beans, little beans,
the seeds of melons, cantaloupes,
radishes, alfalfa, timothy, millet,
seemingly all the different kinds of
seeds that grow in this country and
they were woven into the picture of
the man with his clothing and war
bonnet. In the agricultural exhibit,
were sacks of grain, cleaned by ma
chinery and other exhibits of grain
cleaned by hand, or by the native
process used by the Indians, and the
hand cleaned seeds were the best.
Many pieces of very beautiful needle
work were in the exhibit, and it is
very commendable turnout.

NEW BUILDINGS HOUSE
CATTLE, HORSES, POULTRY

Three new buildings were erected
on the fair grounds this year especi-
ally to house the cattle, horse and
poultry exhibits. Stalls and pens are
conveniently arranged in the cattle
and horse buildings, while in the
poultry buildings pens are arranged
to care for an exceptionally large
poultry exhibit. Accommodation
in these buildings were already at a
premium Tuesday, with chances that
before another day passes there will
be still more exhibits. Dairy and
feeder cattle are we'll represented in
the cattle building, while the horse
stalls contain representative farm
animals. New sheds for the swine
department have been erected and
a large exhibition Of hogs is being
cared for.

Airplane Thrills
Crowds With Daring
Aerial Maneuvers

One of the thrilling events of the
opening day program was the air
plane flight by H H. Barker of Good
ing of the Furcht-Baker Airplane
corporation. Mr.. Barker appeared
over the grounds during the race
program and performed all the flying
stunts that one reads about, and for
good measure included some that
were new to the spectators. During
the fight a motorcycle was turned
loose on the track and Barker at
temped race with the machine, but
the condition Of the track and stiff
breeze prevented real test Of speed
between the two.
Barker Is here for the week and
will give daily exhibitions as q fea-
ture of the program. He is accom-
panied by Jack Winton, airplane
mechanic.

Charlie Prouse
Wins Honors In
First Days Riding

The honors for the first days pro-
fessional riding went to Charlie
Prouse, local boy, who rode 'Col-
onel Fugate," reputed to be one of
the worst horses in the outfit. Dur
Ing the week the best rider will be
selected by the judges each day, and
then the best rider for the week will
be named, with attractive prizes for
the winners.
Ralph Dixey has charge Of this
part Of the program and he has col
lected bunch of horses and riders
that will insure a good program each
day, IL the first days program can be
taken as q sample. No riders were
thrown during the afternoon, but
Dixey still has some horses to bring
out. The only fall Of the afternoon
came when q Mexican assayed the
task of riding "the wild and bucking
bull" which was a feature Of the
program. The bull proved to be q
real bucker, and the Mexican lasted
about minute.
An innovation which speeded up
the bucking contest was the buck
aroo pen," a small corral where the
horses we're first saddled and then
turned loose with a rider. The con-
trivance seemed to prove q success
and the various horses were handled
with ease.
The Judges of the bucking contest
are James Christensen, Ras Hansen
and Alec Vaughn.

INDIAN VILLAGE HAS
ATTRACTION FOR MANY

IS
Visitors at the fair should not
miss seeing the Indian village at the
west end Of the grounds. Very large
tepees have been erected with the
openings at the peak for the smoke
to pass out and with the native ar
rangement for closing that in times
Of storm. Some of them are large
and very beautiful. There is a large
array Of Indian tents on the north
ern side of the ditch somewhat hid
den by the grove. One needs to take
half an hour to look them over
thoroly. These are inventions of the
primitive man working with print
tive things, and enabling him to
shelter himself from the elements by
using what he can make with the
tools Of his primitive condition.

SEE THE STAGE COACH
RELIC OF PIONEER DAYS

Visitors at the fair should take a
good look at the old stage coach just
inside the Broadway entrance at the
fair grounds. 1t was presented to
the city of Blackfoot by 2. c. Han
sen, manager Of the Mackay & Cen
trail Idaho Stage Co., together with
the old sled which sets behind it.
The whole outfit is just as it was
taken from the corral where these
things were kept after they were
thru using them. Even the old
cushions and laprobes falling to de-
cay with the work of time lay in the
bottom just as they were when they
finished using them years ago. Some
of the old brake shoes and chains
used on such vehicles are lying by
the side Of it. Some old worn out
brake shoes or half-soles lay by the
side of the stage, showing terrific
grinding which these things under
go in the long trip down the noun
tainside with weight of coach or
wagon resting on them while they
drag over the rocks of the dug road.
The rough-lock for the sled consists
of great claws that dig into the snow
and ice and into the earth itself in
the bare spots. These old relices are
part Of wagon train exhibit, being
to display in the tourist
park. Editor Trego has been search
ing for some time for old freight
outfits and hopes to assemble a COM
plete string Of wagons with chains,
rough-locks and other accoutre-
ments. This will be one of the few
exhibits left in the whole intermoun-
tain country.

DEPARTMENTS SHOW
FULL LINE OF EXHIBITS

The departments housed in the old
exhibit buildings represent an ex-
ceptional display of exhibits. The
art department shows a number of
excellent paintings in oils and water
colors and sketches. Some fine
decorated china is also a feature Of
this department. The floral display
though occupying a small space re-
veals the fact that there are many
lovers of flowers within the county.
In this department there are twenty
three entries. The needlework and
fancy embroidery entries are attrac-
lively displayed and is exceptionally
large. Home canning work Is fea-
tured by several displays, and the
domestic science department also has
an excellent display. One of the
most interesting exhibitions is that
of the schools which occupies a large
space in the west hall Every activ-
ity of the work of schools of the
county from the grades up is well
represented. The junior farm bur-
eau has an attractive display of home
canning. The fruit exhibit is
smaller than in other years but is
well represented as to quality. APP
pies and smaller fruits make up an
attractive display. The agricultural
and vegetable display is well ar
ranged and adequately represents
the resources of the county in pro-
ducts Of the soil. Grains and grasses
and root crops form pleasing ex-
hibit. As could be expected, the
potato exhibit is one of the most
complete.
Crowds thronged thru these build
ings all thru the afternoon and as the
various displays are completed
should prove greater attraction.

ST ANTHONY BAND
MAKES HIT WITH CROWD

Music for the fair is being fur
nished by the st. Anthony boys
band, and the fair officials have evil
IDENTITY made good selection, judg-
ing by the favor with which the band
was received Tuesday. The band
consists of some eighteen members,
ranging in age from seven up. That
the boys have been well trained is
apparent and they furnish excellent
music. Tuesday the crowd, led by
Announcer Anderson, gave three
cheers for the boys.

LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT
SUPERIOR TO OTHER YEARS

No such array of fine stock has
ever before been exhibited in Bing-
ham county. The long string of hog
pens is nearly filed. The Richards
Livestock company of Virginia, Ida,
fills about twenty pens with very fine
Duroc-Jersey hogs. J. Mcknight s
hog farm of Moreland is we'll repre-
scented, and the sheep pens have very
fine exhibits by Mike Barclay and
other local men.
The exhibition of farming ma
chinery is very gratifying. The long
array of tractors. feed grinders and
all kinds OF implements show people
what can be obtained and how they
can be used The chopper for chop
ping alfalfa hay into meal and the
plans shown for feeding it thru the
automatic feeders, the same as corn,
wheat and other grain, introduces an
idea that is unique and new to most
of our farmers. 1t is claimed and it
is probably true that 20 per cent of
the hay is wasted by being fed In the
uncut condition as is usual in this
country The man who feeds 100
tons of hay and computes the loss on
that basis allowing twenty tons for
being tramped under foot, or being
s-Tad by the use of the chopper, very
readily appreciates the situation
when he is offered the machine. The
moving attachment for the Fordson
tractor, whereby the most of the
moving machine is eliminated is one
of the interesting and rather startl-
ing features of the agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS. The tractor merely has
an attachment of the sickle bar on
its side and all the rest Of the now
ing machine Is eliminated. There is
long array of machinery for
. Tightening the burdens of the house
wife, which every woman ought to-
see. Much of it requires electrical
oneration, but these are connected
either to the power line or to the
Delco lighting system, and may be
used any where by the installation
OF either system Perhaps the power
washer and the vacuum cleaner are
the two greatest filters of burdens.
The use of the old fashioned broom
merely stirs up the dirt and dust and |
puts it into the air and lets it settle |
again over everything in the house. |
Only the coarser particles are swept
out of doors. The vacuum cleaner
swallows all of these, conveys it into
sack and enables the housewife to
put it all out of doors. or in the stove
or wherever it is desired.
Automobiles are on exhibit to
show the different working parts. A
very smooth working set Of cylinders
is shown in glass case, so that one
sees all the operations Of the valves
and cylinders. The different gears
are on exhibit and one sees the
movement among the gears when the
clutch is changed.

POCATELLO PEOPLE
INTERESTED IN FAIR

One of the visitors at the fair
Tuesday was J. Robb Brady Of Poca-

that the people of Pocatello are in
terested in the events in Blackfoot
this week and many are planning to
make the trip later in the week. He
compared the Bingham fair with that
OF Boise and said 1t seemed to equal
It in many respects.
