RICH REWARDS FOR 1921
STATE FAIR EXHIBITORS

A new high record will be reached
In premium awards this year at the

will be made over awards of last
year, and those were among the high
est ever paid in the United States.
Not only will there be a larger var;-
ETY. Of premiums, but notable in
crease in the regular awards Prizes
offered for the best of the popular
breeds of cattle in Michigan will be
especially alluring to livestock men
who pride themselves on the excel.
Ience of their breeded stock.
Liberal premium lists attract the
best exhibits" says Secretary-Mana-
ger G. w. Dickinson, of the state fair.
Encouragement must be given by the
fair to the farmer who devotes his
time to improving his breeds of stock
or to the raising of the very highest
grades of farm products.
This has always been our policy
and the increases in value of premi-
ums each year has been accompanied
by an increased showing in the class
of exhibits. These in turn have at
tracted more and more attention to
the fair, with the result that steadily
Increased earnings have enabled the
fair to maintain it's growth from year
to year until it has assumed the front
rank.
I'VE will be able to make it well
worth while for the farmer to send his
best produce and stock to the fair
and thus procure farming exhibit
which will do credit to Michigan and
help maintain the balance with ex-
hibits of other character"
