No CHANCE FOR
COUNTY FAIR IN
FALL THIS YEAR

There is no chance for truly
representative county fair or SINH
lar exposition this fall, according
to Lee Reynolds, county agent.
There has been some talk Of stag
ing a corn show or fruit exhibit
during the rodeo of September %,
23 and "a. but this will be imprac-
tica BILE.
There will be very little fruit
in the valley this year." said Mr..
Reynolds. "The early frosts
caused that. The recent rains
have been detrimental to some
other crops. The melon yield will
be short. Corn will not be ready
by the middle of September. There
are a few apples. but even these
are not up to standard"
Complaints of too much rain are
common over good share of the
state, according to Mr.. Reynolds.
The cantaloupe crop has been
damaged to some extent as far
south as Las Cruces and the ex-
cess of moisture has caused dam
age even in northern sections.

GENERAL DEBATE
ON RELIEF BILL
ENDS IN HOUSE
tBy The Associated Press /,

Washington, Aug. 2O.-General
debate in the house on the senate
agricultural relief bill was com
pleted tonight with a vote on pass
age scheduled for Monday.
When the house adjourned a
motion by Representative Wingo,
democrat, Arkansas, to recommit
the measure was pending. He
contended provisions should be
added to authorize the war finance
corporation to purchase $500, 000,-
600 of farm loan bonds and to
make loans directly to agricultural
producers.
The bill would make 81, 900, ,000,-
600 available to the corporation
for facilitating the expectation of
farm products. A number of
changes have been made in it by
the house, and If passed the meas
ure will go to conference.
Representative Luce. republican,
Massachusetts, assailed the bill to-
night, charging that 1t would work
out to the benefit of the German
manufacturers in their new COM
mercial warfare"
