hteness of the harvest kept many
fthe farmers at home, but those
who we're alberto come expressed
their opinions that it was withou-
doubt one of the best fairs ant
exhibitions of livestock ever hel(
on the Prairie.
The livstock barns, built this
SIMMER especially for show pur
poses, were the center Of attrac
lion for the stockmen on botf
days Of the fair. Had the roads
been better these barns, capable
Of holding 26 head apiece, would
have been more than filled with
uurebred stock, for entries total.
ing more than rs head had been
received prior to the opening OF
the fair. of
The judging Of the livestock
began at 10 a. m. Friday morn
ing, Prof. Hickman, Of the Uni
versity Of Idaho, awarding the
ribbons. Competition was very
keen in some Of the Hereford
classes and the judge had to de-
Iberate for some time before
making the awards. Some excel
lent individuals in the Shorthorn
breed were on exhibit, Theo. Pri-
mus, Of Nezperce, and Ed. Nelson,
Of Feen, showing some fine ami
mails. M. Schmidlkofer had a
string Of pure bred Holsteins on
exhibit that showed quality and
breeding. In the swine classes
Howard Mckinley, of Cotton
wood, had some individuals that
showed quality and type in the
Poland Chinas. Some of the Ar
mour Pig Club boys had their
prize winning hogs from Spokane
on exhibit.
Other displays were held in the
building formerly occupied by
the Nezperce Hardware. One OF
the greatest attractions here was
the Red Cross booth, planned and
conducted by the County Red
Cross nurse and the local chap
ter in cooperation with the Lew
Ston chapter. Quite compre-
hensive display was put on by the
Anti tuberculosis Association al
SO. The University Extension Ser
vice displayed a model farm plan
| ned to meet the requirements OF
Lewis county farmers. The farm
crops exhibits contained speci-
mems of all the different varieties
Of field and garden crops that
are grown on the prairie. The
school exhibits occupied the wall
space the entire length OF the
building and constituted one OF
the main features Of the fair.
One Of the biggest features OF
the fair this year is the impetus
and added interest given to the
farmers and livestock men OF
Lewis county in the fair itself.
Many of them have expressed
themselves that it was one OF the
most potent events during the
year in bringing the farmers to-
gether and showing to the outside
public what wonderful resources
We have in Lewis county. A sub
Stantial start toward one OF the
best county fairs in the state OF
Idaho has been made and with
the earnest cooperation OF all the
farmers Of the county we shouio
have a fair next year that Will
De second to none in the state.
The need of more livestock barns
TO house the exhibits, especially
a horse barn and sheep and hog
barns, was brought out and the
urgent need Of an exhibit hall TO
li house the farm crops and other
IKE exhibits was demonstrated.
Before another year passes we
should have these buildings In or
der q that we may properly display
The wonderful agricultural re-
sources Of this fertile prairie.
