DAGMAR FARMER
FOR COUNTY FAIR
Dgmar. Mont, Feb. 26. 192'

Dgmar, Mont, Feb. 70, 1923
Dear Editor:
May I have a little space in your
paper to help boost the County Fair
and County Agent propositions which
have been recently proposed. We need
to go right after these now, if we are
to get anything. Would suggest also
something in the papers every week
by some one. Keep the thing alive.
Being interested in what is going
on in the various parts Of the state,
including the weather and agricul-
tural reports I always miss some
thing. And that is news about our
home county of Sheridan. There
seems to be "nothin' doin,' dead,
down and out" Surely, this is not so
1t seems painful to know we are in
existence and still nothing is heard
Of US. Why are we isolated from the
other counties of the state?
Now why should this be? Are we
not as good as the rest? Haven't we
as good a country here as elsewhere F?
Really, isn't there something good
left among people, our farms, our
towns? Are not our prospects here
as good as anybody's or anywhere's +?
Just ask yourself these questions.
Then, what do you think?
I believe there is something here.
And Sheridan County can be put back
0 the map. A little advertising
(BOOSTING) will do the trick. The
County Fair and Agent are one of
these mediums and mighty good ones
too. They can and should work to-
