ALL IDAHO FAIRS
TO SHOW IN 1921.
SAYS SECRETARY
FOURTEEN COUNTY, COMMUNI-
TY AND STATE EXHIBITS AL
READY TABULATED: SOME RE-
CEIvING COUNTY APPROPRIA-
TIONS.

Boise, July 22--"Idaho will have
its fairs this fall, Notwithstanding the
scarcity Of ready money" said o. p.
Hcndcrshot, secretary of the Idaho
State Fair association. An oft"
year never effects fairs" he said.
This is chiefly because the farmers,
realizing the scarcity Of money, look
forward to II and make their plans
accordingly. They use the fair as the
years recreation in preference to 9TH
er forms of entertainment"
| He pointed out that the excellent
crops in Idaho and the growth Of ju-
nior club work in the state also had
much 10 do with the success Of county
and community fairs in general, and
the state fair in Boise in particular.
Fourteen county, community and
state fairs have already been tabulat-
ed in the state Office, and plans ara
Being made to group these In three
divisions In order that n Judge may
make all the fairs in a circuit, insur-
ing qualified judges for all the events.
The list Is incomplete, and new fairs
are being listed each day. No fair
will receive state aid this year, but
six county fairs are receiving county
aid Mr.. Hendershot pointed out,
however. that the levies from these
six counties are large compared
with other years. Adams, Lewis, Nex
Percc. Bingham, Bennock, Lemhi and
Twin Falls counties have each made
, levies for county aid for their fairs.
Prospects Are Good.
. Prospects for the state fair at
!, Boise are good" said Secretary Hen
dershot and expressed himself as
r hopeful over the outlook. Six years
I ago, when the state fair was organ
I ized, only 10 per cent of the entries
: and exhibits were from Idaho. Last
$ year they totaled S5es, and this years
prospective home exhibits will tota
: I90f, insuring fair, "even IL the rest
g of the ncighboring states should tie
( lsert u.s." he said.
n Harness racing will come into ii;
u own In the Idaho circuit, according
: To information from county commit
tees. The old trotting and pacini
d events, which gave way during tn
n last few years TO "wild west" exhih
rs itions, are once more being signed w
II and Mr.. Hendershot expects TO in
+ Iclude this feature In the state fair en-
e ,tertainment program.
