Longest Drought in
Sank Centres History
Farmers Skeptical as to General
Results of Long Dry
Spell

That rain at this late day, would
have little or no general affect upon
vegetation IN this section, is the gen.
eral belief of agriculturists in Sank
Centre and vicinity.
This section of the county with tie
exception of one small rain last week,
has now gone six weeks without rain,
and the results Of the long drought is
endangering the outlook for fall
crops.
already the ground is so dry and
hard that moisture has but little
effect and the garden crops are
steadily drying off. Corn is suffering
most as a result of the dry spell and
it is now feared that this crop will
be unusually light this year. Pota.
toes too, are suffering while all other
garden truck is but half a crop.
Most of the cereal have now been
harvested here and are not greatly
damaged by the drought but farmers
n the city this week are deeply con-
cerened over the outlook for fall.
Fires in the country are another
matter of concern for with everything
as dry as it is now, fire would rapid
ly spread over the entire country il
it ever got well under way.
Just north Of Stearns county, for
est fires are already ravaging the
country.

CARNIVAL NIGHT
BIG FAIR feature
KING MARDI GRASS TO REIGN
DURING CLOSING HOURS
OF BIG FAIR
MANY BOYS Want FAIR Pigs
ANIMALS TO BE GIVEN TO BOYS
DURING DAYS OF BIG EVENT
IMPROVE GROUNDS

Carnival night, a time when King
Mardi Grass in all his glory, pep and
vim will reign supreme over the
pleasure seekers, will mark the clos
ing hours of the big Stearns County
Fair, which will be held here in Sank
Centre on the days of September IA,
Is, 16 and II.
By the closing of the event with a
big jollification, the management of
the fair, hopes to make the event one
which will long be remembered in the
history of the county. ...
AS the period Of the fair draws
near, the management is fast COM
pleting plans for making 1920 event
the biggest fair ever held. The in
PRODUCING Of night program, when
dancing, vaudeville and fireworks
will make up the facinating program,
is drawing many requests from out
side of the county, and is making
this fair the most talked of event of
its kind in the state.
A crew Of carpenters under Con-
tractor Hearty are employed this
week at the grounds removing the
poultry building, and making such re-
pair as may be necessary to the COM
fort and safety of the guests. The
big grand stand is being inspected
and made safe, and the new "Mid.
way which is an entirely new fea-
ture, is being built in preparation fol-
the event. This will be beautifully
lighted and colored lights are being
added to the already attractive light
display.
Considerable interest is being evil
denced every day by. the boys of the
county in the pig contest" to be
staged by the fair association during
the days of the fair.
Applications from hundreds of boys
in all sections of the county nave
been received by Sec'y. Gordon v.
Morse, and that gentleman is now OF
the opinion that the association will
not have pigs enough to go around.
The plan of the association along
these lines has been fully explained
on various occasions, and is offered
for the purpose Of encouraging the
raising of pure bred hogs in Stearns
county. The plan is an attractive
enc, and one that appeals to most
every farm boy.
One feature of the scheme is that
in no instance where purebred stock
is now kept on a farm, will a pig be
furnished under the arrangements OF
the association.
Secretary Morse stated this week
that he has not as yet contracted for
music for the fair, but said that not
less than six bands are now bidding
for the fair work. The contracts
to at least four bands will be award
ed within the next week.
