Imperial Valley press., 1925-11-24
SPACE PRACTICALLY ALL TAKEN
IN INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL
TENT AT NlD-WINTER EXHIBITION

The fair ground at Brawley is a
busy place. Carpenters have been
at work for some time construct
ing booths and special artist is at
work painting canvas and design
ing construction. The big tents
will go into the air Monday and
it will be the widest spread of can
vas ever raised in Imperial Valley.
The tents will be beautifully de-
corated and strongly lighted. Moth
ing approaching the decorative
scheme which will be used this
year has ever been attempted in
the valley.
The space i'll the industrial and
agricultural tent is practically all
taken and the management Will be
forced to use every available spot
to take care of the demands for
space. Several communities and
farm centers of the county are CON
sldering booths, but up to the pre-
sent time actual reservations have
been set aside for Westmorland,
Spruce Farm Center, Meloland
Farm Center and Magnolia Farm
Center. Those having the matter
under serious consideration are
Calipatria, Jasper Farm Center
McCabe Farm Center and probably
some of the others. AS the time is
getting short and the space is linn
tied, their action must be very
prompt if any more are taken i'll.
Towns Will Compete
Under another classification,
there will be beautiful displays from
Calexico, Ell Centre and Holtville,
competing for prizes, and Brawley,
not competing.
The grapefruit and general citrus
display will be by far the biggest
ever attempted. The fruit is in
fine condition and will make Il
splendid show.
A special effort is being given to
the vegetable and products display.
This will be shown i'll especially de-
corated booths and will be artisti-
cally displayed. The government,
as well us a number of the fruit
growers, will make a fine display
of dates.
The automobile show will un-
doubtedly be the most artistically
arranged and decorated ever at
tempted in the valley. All popular
late models will be very attractive
ly displayed.
Separate Tent for Women
The women's department Will be
housed III u separate tent this year,
which will contain a very complete
showing of all branches of domcs-
tic art. Plans have been made for
"A Child S Welfare and Better Babies
Contest. This will be in charge of
capable physicians and nurses and
will be handled in an entirely scicn-
tific manner. Those having babies
which they wish to enter in this
contest will notify the secretary,
w. w. Van Pelt.
The poultry and livestock depart
ment will be housed in one big tent
nearly 400 feet long and from en-
tries received and promised, this
will be the largest livestock show
ever attempted in this section or
the state. The poultry show, as is
usual here, will be Il very general
exhibition of the product of the
county, together with some very az
tractive imported exhibits. There
will be Dairy Products and ''Bet-
ter Methods show also in the big
livestock tent, which will attract
a great deal of attention.
Another feature this year, of an
educational nature, which is some
thing of new departure for this
fair, is the junior livestock Judging
contest and the trouble shooting
contest. Teams from various schools
of Southern California will come
and camp on the grounds and con-
test for prizes in this division.
We all know what we would do if
we had a million dollars. We
would wish it was two D,illion dol.
