dance and Ronud-Up Enjoyed.
There was an unusually good atten-
dance at the Morrow County Fair this
year, though II did not seem from the
first days turnout that the results at
the ticket office would be what the
management desired. Friday and Sat
urday were the banner days In this re-
spect and the city was well filled with
people from all over the county, who,
despite bad roads, piled into their auto
mobiles and came in to see the exhibits
and enjoy some of the fun prepared for
their entertainment by the Fair Board
At the exhibit hall, the leading fea
ture was the very fine display Of grain
and grasses that stood in the lead OF
former years. 1t was not so hard this
season to get fine exhibits of this ma
ture, and Secretary Smead certainly
did well in what was brought together.
To help this out there was the special
demonstration put on by the Farm
Bureau. who laid stress upon the SOW
ing Of grain at the proper season They
had a display showing the production
from early seeding, that from a little
later and then samples from April seed
ing, with the proportonate yields. The
advantage seemed to be very largely in
favor of the early seeding as to guam
tity Of production, though in the ex-
hibits presented there was little dlf-
ference as to quality. As production is
what the farmer Is after however, the
ten commandments" OF the Farm Bu
reau should be adopted by him and thus
enable him to get the best from his
efforts. All OF this grain display was
taken below by Secretary Smead and
will be placed in the Morrow county
booth at the State Fair and will be the
means Of giving Morrow county lot
Of good addertising.
Largely owing, perhaps, to the very
busy season Of the year. there was not
the response in exhibits from orchard
and garden that was. expected, and
many splendid displays of former years
were conspicuous by their absence,
Then again the heavy frost Of couple
of weeks ago created havoc in the gar
dens, and vegetables and flowers were
spoiled entlrly for exhibit purposes and
there appeared a very large void in the
big exhibit building that heretofore
was amply filed In this division,
however, there were some very fine ex-
hibits. and we can give special mention
OF the community displays from Board
man and rrigon They had just closed
the North Morrow County Fair at
Boardman, and the fine lot of exhibits
brought together there were largely
transferred to Heppner Yet, 1t has been
the habit of these people each year to
be well represented at the county fair,
and they always make good, That they
carried off a very large proportion of
the premiums Is only natural conse-
quence
Several school districts made credit
able displays, and this year the Hepp-
ner school was represented by a booth,
and the schools Of Boardman and lrri-
gon also had their displays, besides
there was the Burton Valley school
