II interested people will visit the
fair pavilions and take note of the
vast array of splendid exhibits
grouped there under the many heads
some idea will be gained of the
eventual greatness of this valley
when potential resources have been
developed and the soils made to pro-
duce in the fullness and range the
certitude of which Is so abundantly
exampled by the fair exhibits. Sur
prise Is evinced by every fair visitor,
including those who live here over
what Is denominated the greatest
array of farm production ever got
ten together In this state. Indeed,
| it is asseverated that nowhere in
the entire country can exhibits be
grouped that will reflect greater
soil fertility and possibility or q
more favorable growing season than
are reflected in the highly colored
and luscious edibles that have come
from the farms of this valley during
the present season.
The exhibits pavilions show q
keen and commendable interest and
pride on the part of the projects
husbandmen who have given of
their seasonal production that 9TH
ers may know of their accomplish
ments which have been distinct and
entirely praiseworthy.
Yesterday opened with threaten
ing clouds and for a time it seemed
that the fair meeting was to be
marred by inclement weather but
the clear skies that are characteris-
tic of this valley succeeded a brief
period of clouds and with the sun
shine came cheer and assurance of
a successful three-day fair thai. will
do much to advertise the Newlands
project and the little city of Fallon.
Yesterdays attendance exceeded
that of any first fair day In the his
tory of fairs in Fallon, not exclud-
ing the state fairs that were former
ly held here. In fact the titular
change has brought ns III effects
nor has the loss of the state subsi-
dy initiated against the success of
the county's exposition. This Is the
biggest fair ever put forward here;
biggest because it is fully represent
ative of the rapid growth that has
featured local affairs. urban and
rural during the last twelve-month
period and by the same token each
succeeding fair that will be given
here as the years come and go will
surpass preceding efforts because
here new people and new ideas are
bringing new development which is
to be fully portrayed in the exhibits
of the future.
Project Districts Represented
Every project district has a
splendid representation of exhibits
from farms which range from pea
nuts to giant pumpkins. Fruits are
in evidence that delight the crowds
which marvel at the splendid evi-
dences of horticulture. 1t will be
exceedingly difficult for judges to
award prizes for the several dis
trict showings because distinction is
lacking. All have put forward
specimens of every form of decidu-
GUS fruit, cereals, potatoes, garden
stuffs. and the showings are COM
mendable to the last degree. There
are pumpkins on exhibit as big as
washtubs, melons that would defy
the small marauder who after the
fashion of boys would raid the
farmers watermelon patch in
search of this delectable edible.
One of the amazing evidences of
husbandry has to do with the grape
display which rivals anything ever
put forward in California. the home
of this variety of fruit. Potatoes,
too. are in evidence that prove at
once the adaptibility of the soils
here for this form of culture. Sure
ly, Greedy, Colo, never sent out
more likely samples and as time
goes along spuds must be more and
more representative of farming ef-
fort here.
The West Side, St. Clair, Stillwa-
ter, Northam, Harmon. Swingle. Is
land, Soda Lake and others Of the
projects neighborhood subdivisions
are all creditably represented and In
the years to come there may be
larger groupings covering wider
range of farm production than is
the case this year but better and
more creditable specimen will new
er be available here or elsewhere OF
the things that are shown at the
1920 fair.
Boys and Girls Club Work
The boys and girls club worl
that has been prosecuted here fol
several years is very effectually por
trayed in the booths given over Il
the youth of the project. Here tho
visitor will find everything from
