THE RUSSELL NEWS.

(The following items of interest
were sent in last week, but left out
through an oversight on our part.)
Harvest is over. The machines are
all pulling in. The grain threshed
was spotted. A yield of 2S bushels
was produced in one field, while over
the fence 16 bushels would be the best
The time of seeding and the condition
of the ground made the diffrenc. The
prices at Greer: Barley around LIS
wheat 100 up to LIS. With less ex,
pense for labor, sacks, etc, the crop
will net the farmers more money this
fall than they have made since 1919,
and place some of them out of debt,
and make encouraging prospects for all
of them.
John Booth has rented his place to
the Couch boys, and will spend the
winter in the Elk River country.
Frank Reed on Tuesday pulled off
his crowning stunt on the old gradeI

YOU'LL GET THE b.
HERE.

Last year everybody who attended
the Lewis County Fair was so well en-
tertained that they went away sing
ing its praises. 1t was brim full and
running over with entertainment. This
year the entertainment line will be
still stronger than last. If you like
the rip roaring rough and tumble TO
deo, with lot of spicy stuff thrown
in between the tumbles, you are going
to get an eye full at the coming Lewis
County Fair. Three solid hours of clev-
crest. work on the fleetest and rough
est horses will hold your attention each
afternoon of the fair. The men and
animals who know how to do the big
stunts are now being rounded up for
the prairie classic.
The final move in this direction was
made last night at a meeting OF the
Fair executive committee when JAS.
johnson and Floyd Rowe were dele
gated to go forth and get the big
stuff. They will spend the balance OF
the week at Lewiston picking out the
hest they can find at the fair there,
and next week they will pick out the
best at the Grangeville fair and SO on
until the big show here. The people
say they want fast and furious enter
tainment and the Lewis County Fair
will give it to them, with our old
friend "Bulger" on the job with a
new series of stunts and conversation
full of laughs and good cheer.
Everything that has been promised
in the stock show rings and the Boys
and Girls Clubs District Fair features
is shaping up beautifully for the ex-
hibition. So that the substantial show
side of the Fair will also surpass pre-
vious efforts. And of course there
win be the usual carnival features with
the big merry -go-round for the little
folks.
Your find the real rodeo at the
Lewis County Fair, Oct. 2, 8 and 4.

COUNTY CLOSE SECOND
In Twelve County Farm Crops Contest
at Spokane Fair Lewis crowds
Asotin for First Place.

1 Any doubt as to the agricultuia
possibilities OF the four northwestern
states, even in an exceptionally dry
season, were pretty well wiped out al
result OF many excellent displays al
the Interstate Fair and Livestock
show, which was held in Spokane
ISeptember ! to 6.
The exhibits themselves were moi
only of record nature as A. A. Kelly,
Jr. in charge of the department., de-
clared, but a greater. number of com
munities were represented than ever
before.
Twelve counties had complete ex-
hibits in the 1924 fair. Asotin county
received the larger share of the 1912.
so in prize money for county agricul-
tural awards, or $l58; Lewis county,
Idaho, was a close second, winning
SAG; Kootenai county, Idaho, third
and Benewah county, fourth. Ravaln
county, Montana, placed with its grain
from the Bitterroot valley.
The river county had the advantage
of its irrigated crops. Lewis county
lead all non-irrigated contenders for
the first honors at the big fair. This
exhibit was viewed by thousands and
certainly proved most profitable in
vestment as an advertisement of our
county's agricultural resources

KAMIAH FAIR GREATER AND
RETTER.


The management has adopted a slo-
gan, "The Biggest Little Fair in Ida

newspaper man the secretary of the
Kamiah Fair spoke of this fair in the
above terms. This newspaper man
mentioned this as the slogan which
they were working under, and now
President Chas. Merwin is working
hard getting everything ready so that
those who enter the gates on Sept. 25-
26-27 can truly say, it is "The Biggest
Little Fair in Idaho.
Margaret Seidel and her troupe of
dancers, who are making such hit
this week with the Lewiston Charleston
fair patrons, will be there with Won
derful program Of dancing, singing
and vaudeville entertainment, one of
the best that has never before been
shown at fairs in this country. {,
The agricultural department will
abound with examples for study and
opportunities for field, garden, orchard
and flower culturization. There will
be valuable old and promising new
varieties of grains, grasses, seeds and
vegetables, roots and plants, embrac-
ing the enormous in size, the most per
feet and beautiful in form, the most
tempting to they eye, and the most
palatable in flavor.
