According to John S. Malone,
county agent; Mrs. Kathryn =. Jack
son, home demonstration agent. and
Paul G. Myers, secretary of tho Tulsa
county free fair, conditions were new
er more promising than for the 1922
fairs. Crops have been bountiful, the
livestock is in splendid condition and
from a practical standpoint the
mythical horn of plenty is to be
found all over Tulsa county.
The fair season In Tulsa county
opened last Friday when ColVnstille,
the youngest township in Tulsa coun-
ty opened its two-day exhibit. Tul-
sans who attended declare that 1t
amazed them by its completeness.
In every class the exhibits surpassed
the volume expected for a township
fair, and several declared it was al
most a county fair within itself.
Proof Of this statement is contained
N these statistics:
4S cans Of fruit, Jelly and Jam.
l02 pieces of fancy work.
l76 chickens.
There were so many horses, mules,
sheep, cows and hogs that extra
room had to be provided to care for
them.
Skiatook Show Splendid.
At Skiatook on Monday and Tues
day the township fair in tho extreme
northern part OF the county was
held. The displays Of farm prod
ucts were among the best ever seen
at a township fair in Oklahoma,
thanks to suggestions and advice of
Perry Royse, champion corn grower,
and who has won national reputa-
tion as fair exhibitor. Royse's own
eNhlblts OF corn, potatoes, grains and
other products as usual won a host
of blue. ribbons. The Shorthorn herd
OF DR.. 5. q. Kennedy and the fine
Duroc Jereey hogs Of NJ. II. johnson
were also on exhibit. There were not
so many chickens shown as at Col
linsvilte. but what were in the coops
were pure breds.
The Tulsa County Poultry associa-
tion had big meeting Monday night
which 800 persons attended, and
steps We're taken to pread the grow
ing OF pure bred poultry into every
section OF Tulsa county. It was voted
also to ask the county commissioners
TO appropriate funds for the building
OF special building, erection of
pens and providing of feed for a
Tulsa county egg laying contest. at
which poultrymen could send their
best hens and determine which of the
breeds is the best for egg laying.
