FAIRS AND EXHIBITS

Every western Kansas farmer
should be interested in the agricu1-
tural exhibits at the Kansas State
Fair at Hutchinson, September 1S
to "a, and the International Wheat
Show at Wichita, October to 16.
There is no better way to advertise
your community than to show some
of the products at the fairs. Pros
pective farm buyers attending these
fairs will unconsciously be Influenced
to visit town or section of country
that is well exhibited at these places
Many men are afraid to exhibit their
products thinking that other farmers
may have so much better exhibits.
This is not the case With a little
care in selection, any farm in western
Kansas can show prize winning pro
ducts if the farmer Will.
Northwestern Kansas has made a
big noise in regard to their wheat
crop this year in respect to both quail
ity and yield and it would indeed look
strange if a large part of the $1,000
offered at the wheat show at Wichita
OF the $316 offered at Hutchinson did
not go into western Kansas
Any man can get a premium list
upon a written request to these fair
associations.

ONE WORD MORE ABOUT
KANRED WHEAT

Did you lose a part of your wheat
crop with rust this year? Kanred
is not as susceptible to rust as other
wheat.
Did part of your wheat winter kill
last year? Kanred is more hardy and
does not winter kill as badly as other
wheat.
Kanred wheat is earlier than other
wheat and it makes from three to
five bushels TO an acre more than
Turkey wheat on am average over
western Kansas
IF interested, write to the Fort
Hays Experiment Station or the Kan
sas State Agricultural College in re-
gard to Pure Kanred Wheat Seed
