The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1920-09-16

again the 1y20 Churchill county
fair will be on In full swing. Even
now extraordinary efforts are being
directed at assembling the exhibits
that will greet the eyes of the yisi-
tors to the big pavilion on west
Williams avenue and affairs have
progressed to point that warrants
the emphatic statement that Fall
Ions 1920 fair will excel all previ-
Gus local expositions In excellence
and range of exhibits displayed
Then too the sports program Is TO
be replete with features that will
bring excitement and zest. A very
sensible and appealing program has
been arranged by the members of
the sports committee who have pro-
vided for horse races, automobile
races, bucking contests and other
features, to excel at which will
bring due reward. But the
sports program is to be an adjunct
to the fair this year.
The fair has attracted a wider
field this year due TO the attractive
prizes offered and the liberal policy
of the managing committee in
throwing the contests open to out
siders. As matters stand anyone
may compete whether a resident of
Churchill county or not.
While meny sporting events are
arranged to attract and amuse the
crowds the educational features
have not been overlooked. ]. l..
McGinnis will lend every assistance
In showing what has been done in
the Farm Bureau to improve farm
conditions and the raising Of them
to a higher state of cultivation and
corresponding increase in profits.
One OF the interesting features will
be the community exhibits. So far
seven communities have been org
anized in Churchill county with an
eighth one soon to be organized.
These communities have done much
to educate the young people as
we'll as the older to the advantages
of intensified farming and diversity
of crops. While the work has been
carried on In a comparatively limit
ed way the results shown are most
surprising All this will be proven
by the community competition at
the fair. Right here is might be
well to state that prizes for agri-
cultural exhibits will be awarded on
the basis of quality as well as
quantity Just because you have
raised a beet, turnip or pumpkin
that is of immense size do not think
that It will win a prize on size
alone. Other items such as firmness
and fine texture and other qualifi-
cations will be taken into considera-
ton.
c. l.. Noble announces that the
Agricultural Department of the
State University will send their en-
tire herd Of thoroughbred cattle
and other high bred live stock.
These exhibits will be accompanied
by experts who will use them as OBJ
ject lessons In the education of the
ranchers In the raising of a higher
grade of live stock, pointing out the
many advantages of the same par
ticularly In the way of increased
profits.
II. T. Morgan will also exhibit his
prize herd of Herefords and Mr..
Alps of Reno will send down his
drove OF high bred hogs. Other
raisers of thoroughbred cattle will
also compete
Mrs. Conant will demonstrate
her work among the schools and In
other lines OF domestic economy.
Several young ladies will prove
their housewifely qualifications by
demonstrations of bread, cake and
pie baking. The Boys and Girls
clubs are receiving special atten-
tion. Purses to the amount OF
5000 are offered for division among
the prize winners Prizes for al
most every line of work Is offered.
They range from silags corn TO
melons In the vegetable line and
from chickens TO dairy calves In
live stock or from the best darning
exhibit TO the best dress and IN the
cooking line from bread making to
the canning and preserving OF all
kinds OF fruits The prizes offered
are OF sufficient amounts to make
worth while working for, to say
nothing of the high honors.

tional entries have been made dur
