but in the olden times they were more
after the manner of a bazaar or mar
ket, only held with less frequency,
very much like the fairs in vogue in
Germany and other European coun-
tries today. The American fair
traces it's ancestry back to about the
middle of the eighteenth century,
when group of progressive farm
ers in the Tees River Valley in north
eastern Britain joined to bring their
livestock together for comparison. 1t
has been termed the first agricultural
fair and was the model after which
were patterned the hundreds of coun-
try fairs both here and in England.
Elkanah Watson of New York has
been credited with being the father
of the American fair. In. 1915 Wat
SON organized the agricultural society
Of Albany, N. Y, and proceeded to
establish fairs and cattle shows in
the neighboring counties. In 1919,
due mainly to his influence, the New
York legislature appropriated $10,-

iums on agricultural and home man.

Approaching Stearns Co. Fair Sym
bolical of Remarkable Growth of
Agricultural Exhibits in u. S.

In 1910, one fair; in 1925, two
thousand fairs.
In 1910, an attendance of about
five thousand; in 1925 an estimated
attendance of approximately twenty
five million. .t
These figures, in a nutshell, tell the
story of the marvellous growth of the
American fair from the humblest, be-
ginning to its present day status as
an important factor in agricultural
education. They are of especial in
terest here in view of the approaching
Stearns County Fair which will be
held in Sank Centre Sept. 1890, Oct.
/.
While the fair idea has been taken
hold of tremendously in the United
States, it is not native to this coun-
try. Fairs run back to ancient DAYS,

work started in other eastern states ::
But while Watson was busy convert
ing farmers and legislators to the
value of fairs, the Columbian Agricul-
tural Society held what is believed to
Washington, DC, in 1910.
Pittsfeld, Mass, shortly there af-
ter inaugurated regular agricultural
exhibits, and" from these first small
efforts grew up our system OF, COM
munity, county, state, district, ma
tional and international fairs which
cover practically every section of the
country.
The development of the fair in the
United States has been one Of normal
growth and expansion, according to
Samuel R. Guard, of one of the lead
ing opponents of agricultural exhibits
in America. The successful contest
ant in a local fair naturally wished to
compare his products with those of
winners in other local fairs. That was
how the county fair came to be the
state fair with its wider appeal was
the next logical step, and there coun-
ty winners went to settle disputes on
the relative merits of their products.
Eventually this lead to competition
between states, eliminating first in
the interstate fair, later in the ma
tioral show and finally in the inter-
national exhibit. Many a national
champion grain grower or livestock
breeder today can trace his success !
to some little honor captured at the
county fair years ago. ,~..
The appealing thing about the
county fair is the opportunity. it Of
fers the farmer to compare his own
work with that of his neighbors and
so inspires in him healthy ambition
to improve himself and his work,
states Mr.. Guard. Within easy dis
lance Of his home, he can examine
the best animals, grains, fruits and
poultry and honey and
determine where he falls short of the
mark. Likewise his wife can pit her
needlework, her baking and pastry,
her canned fruits and vegetables
against those of other farm women
and enjoy the thrill and reward that
comes of victory. Altogether the
country fair stimulates friendly COM
petition that has been responsible
for much of the farm progress in the
past century, he says.
The educational value of the farm
and equipment displaysl
that are part of all the better fairs
is one of the most commendable fea-l
lures, according to Mr.. Guard. State
and federal government exhibits |
bring home to the farmer lessons in |
growing his products more economic
ally and efficiently, and household
furnishings and labor saving devicesf
on view work directly for the inn
provement of country life.

Stock Yards, Oct. 2S.-The beef cat
tie market closed weak with large lots
of Gamer cows selling below the &c
level at $1.S5 to S1.90 per cwt. Gamer
cows have hold at higher prices this
fall than in many previous recent
years and the break was to be expect

were heavy, making up the bulk of the
offerings. Sellers made but little diff
ference in their bids for slippery
COWS, the average of the latter seldom
bringing above 2I@2gc. The demand
was urgent only for really choice COW
beef. A few lots of steers, mostly in
pairs, sold at S@10c. The average top
for choice COWS was Sac. with few
exceptions at 6@7sc. The calf market
was steady with no change. Fancy
lots moved at 11@12c, with average
bunch lots of mixed weights at so
