Kennewick Fair
That the people in this section of
the state are taking more and more
interest in dairying is shown by the
way entries are being received for the
Kennewick Fair. John Reminding,
who has charge of this department,
has twenty-five entries already and
prospects are good for more before
the final closing date. This week the
grounds committee went over the
plans and have arranged for the pro-
per care of the animals while they are
on exhibition.
DR.. R. L. Lundy, who is chairman
this year, states that everything will
be in readiness for the opening date.
Three hundred boy scouts who will
arrive in Kennewiek for their annual
rally, are practicing daily for
their stunts and this will be one of
the big features of the fair. The
handsome trophy cups have arrived
and are being engraved for the oc-
casion.
Badger Canyon will again be one
of the amusement features and the
fake money" is ready for the
gamblers" who will make the well
kin ring on the nights Of September
IL and IL.
Every day now sees an increasingly
laNge. number of exhibits going into
cold storage to await display dates.
Fruits and vegetables of all kinds will
compete for the first prizes that have
been offered.
The Kennewick Fair this year
promises to outclass all previous eff
| forts and a record attendance is ex-
pected.
State Fair
| Entries in all departments of the
Washington State Fair, to be held
Sept. 18th to 10Th, will be closed this
year on Saturday, Sept. 18th, and

history Of the fair. Monday has been
declared Yakima Day and business

close. insuring a record breaking at
tendance for the opening day.
Exhibitors of perishables such as
fruit and vegetables should make en-
tries at once, says c. Starches, super
intendent of the Horticultural Depart
ment. An arrangement with the rail-
roads permits the remission of one
way freight paid on perishables, and
of one half the round trip freight
charges on livestock entered at the
fair.
In an effort to bring into one con-
test the finest of fruits from all of
Washington's important fruit grow
ing districts, Secretary A. E. Lawson,
today announced special premiums on
single tray exhibits Of apples, pears
and peaches, to be displayed at the
Washington State Fair, Sept. 18th to
18th. Sixteen varieties of apples, IL
varieties of pears and IA varieties of
peaches are included, and it is expect
ed that exhibits in this class, with
those of IL counties and number of
districts in the Yakima County local
contest, will fill the lower floor and
annex of the Horticultural Building.
Orchardists from Wenatchee, Spo-
kane and other large fruit districts
have found it difficult to enter exhib-
its in the packed box contests, and
the special premiums are offered to
induce them to display the one tier
boxes Of their choicest specimens.
