COUNTY FAIR TO BE HELD
FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER
Dates for Thirteenth Annual
Agricultural Exhibit Decided
MOnday-TO Pay Premiums

The thirteenth annual Garrett coun-
ty agricultural fair will be held this
year on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, October 1, 2, 8, and 4,
at the Fair Grounds, Oakland, Henry
NJ. Speicher, secretary and general
manager, has announced. This was
decided at a meeting of the Board OF
Directors held on Monday, and fol-
i6wed report of the committee which
was appointed to learn the dates of
other fairs in all neighboring coun-
ties.
"The dates were changed to later
time in order that the farmers might
have an opportunity to harvest their
crops and get their fall work in
good shape" Mr.. Speicher said.
"There are also number of boys
potato clubs and other potato pro-
jects in the county and the results are
to be exhibited in the fair"
1--WE want to make this real agri-
cultural fair, one in which all the
farmers will exhibit their products
and enjoy the four days in Oakland.
We expect this to be the biggest fair
Garrett county has ever had"
Weather Should Be Good
An inspection of the weather record
at Weber's, the government station,
showed that in eleven years the week
of September II was the best during
that period and that the first week in
October was second best. The date of
September II was eliminated owing to
late production in this county.
The premium list will be practically
the same as last year, and premiums
will positively be paid, he emphasized,
The 1927 and 1928 premiums were all
paid last year by the Fair association
and this year will be no exception, it
was said.
The fair will be under the same
management as last year, which in
cludes:
DR.. Henry McComas, president;
Charles W. Ream, Crellin, vice-presi-
dent; H. NJ. Speicher, Accident, secre-
tary and general manager; Walter G..
Meyers, Mt. Lake Park, treasurer.
Directors: G. B. M. Friend, Daniel
E. Orendorf, H. L. Porter, J. W. Whor-
ton, A. D. Naylor, William C. WEIGH,
George D. Browning, Guy limbaugh,
and DR.. McComas, Oakland; Charles
W. Ream, Crellin; Henry P. Miller,
Grantsville; and Samuel R. Ringer,
Bert C. Scott and N. C. Sanders, Hut
ton.
There will be premiums for exhibits
of all kinds of live stock, poultry and
other fowls; farm products, horticul-
tural products, school work, boys and
girls club work, household articles,
domestic arts, ETC., and there will also
be many special premiums. Work on
the premium list and catalog is to be
started Immediately, Mr.. Speicher
stated, and will be completed as soon
as possible.

New Facilities Required.
In larger cities, however, it is much
different. When the Bureau of En-
craving started to clip the green
5acks down to the new standard, per-
ups it was known, but nothing was
mentioned of it along with the an
nouncement of the new bills that they
were going to call for new handling
facilities.
The new notes are too small for
the receptacles in the cash drawers,
too small for the bill folds, smaller
than the old currency and rather hard
to count. In banks, tellers who were
admired by the laymen for rapidity
with which they could deal out any
requested amount in short order, re-
port now, after years of acquiring this
skill, they are again in the novice
class.
The task of supplying the new

greater part of year, it is estimated.

One of the most serious problems
cattle and shecpmen in this Western
country are having to face is fire
hazard. The situation is becoming
more alarming each year and, as
we improve our highways. our tour
ist travel increases and the fire haz-
ard continues TO become more ser
ious and more difficult to solve.
We seem to have pretty well dis
covered the fire hazards from the
highway, requiring the motorists to
have his ear equipped with ash re-
ceivorS and in forest zones, all
smoking is prohibited during the
dry months. Throughout the range
country, there are flaming posters
warning Of fire danger and all sorts
of effective propaganda has been
used to awake the tourist and
camper of the danger of fire and
this work has had its effect among
thoughtful people Nevertheless,
We have a large number of fires; ap-
parontlv caused by those who ride in
automobiles but now for the first
time we find n new menace in the
passenger carrying airplanes.
Cigarettes tossed even from high
attitudes continue To burn in the
air and tests have shown that fire
can be started from a cigarette
thrown from as high rs one thous-
and feet from the ground.
As many cattlemen sec it the
bulk Of the task Of cutting down
losses from fires must be done by
the ranchers themselves. In many
Of the grass pasture sections. ranch
ers have found that fircbreaks
around and across the pastures help
cat down the extent Of fire losses.
It is expensive to p}ow the land for
these firebreakS. vet, there seems
To be no more effective barrier
against fire. Many grain farmers
make a practice of plowing wide
firebreaks around their fields, par
ticularly an fields adjacent to high
ways.
Others practice the making of
hex fires before a big fire starts.
This means the loss Of some pas
ture land, but seems to be one of
the most effective means of pre-
venting fire from spreading.
In California, the state highway
commission has done some good
work in burning weeds and grass
along the Highway, thus preventing
many fires. which ordinarily start
from burning cigars or cigarettes
thrown from automobiles.
After fire has gotten good
start, it is mighty difficult Job TO
stop. particularly if there is a high
wind. Thousands and thousands Of
acres of grain and pasture land. as
ra'l as forest reserves, have been
burned over this year, some Of these
fires lasting for several davs, des-

These were grapes which had
been held for late markets and were
slightly damaged by early rains.
Other shipments of very good fruit
earlier in the season showed little
or no advantage of the treated

ther on the other extreme are car
loads which had been ruined by
careless treatment whereby they
had received far too much sulfur

"The information gained during

WINTER VS.. SUMMER
RABBIT CONTROL

The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey has been spending quite a lit
tie time in this county and Yaki-
ma county during the last month
on problems of rabbit control. In
the Mabton and Status communities
the results have been good from
the formula published in local pa
pers last week. This has been
particularly true where rabbits
have been feeding upon either al
falfa stacks or alfalfa fields. In
the latter case, the poison has been
distributed. around the border of
the field instead of back in the
sage brush. In some cases, they
have been able to get as many as
$50 to It's rabbits to an ounce OF
strychnine used.
Results In the Horse Heaven and
Rattlesnake sections where there
is no alfalfa hay or alfalfa fields,
and rabbits have been found to
be feeding upon sage largely, even
with the more concentrated bait
recommended, last week, good re-
suits have not been obtained. The
last attempt has been the use of
grain heads with the alkaloid
strychnine and this seems to be
giving better results, but is a
rather difficult bait to prepare.

HOW DO / SCORE AS
A REAL POULTRYMAN?

s'The real poultryman will antic-
ipate the problems coming up and
prepare to adequately meet them
when that time arises" This state
ment made by Mrs. George Shoup,
poultry specialist at the Western
Washington Experiment Station,
at poultry meeting on the West
side, attended by your county
agent some fourteen years ago,
stuck. We believe that poultry
men might well measure them
selves by this standard.
Mrs. Shoup in celebrating on the
statement, pointed out that there
were times during the season when
we might expect problems to arise
such as cold snaps during the WIN
ter season. She pointed out that
the real poultrymen anticipated
these cold snaps and would pro-
vide green feed in some form and
train his flock to consume the
green feed, which might be the
only one which could he fed during
period of this kind. The real
poultryman would also make pro-
visions for the proper caring Tor
the water supply so as to provide
a water supply of a temperature
such that the birds would con-
sumo the normal amount. Housing
during these periods OF colder
weather is another factor for the
real poultryman, and he must give
special attention to this and be
sure that the house is comfortable,
proper temperature being main
tanned within the house and yet
sufficient ventilation provided to
keep the atmosphere circulating
1t may be necessary to provide
special feeds for the birds such as
| additional corn to- the scratch, and
care also must be taken in chang
ing the feeds, so as not to throw
the birds into mott or out of lay
Just what the poultryman is to dc
under these conditions will depend
largely upon the poultryman him.
self, and his local conditions. AS
Mrs. Shoup pointed out, the rea
poultryman will give these prob
lens his attention and his interest
in his flock will be so great that
he will work out these problems
so as to maintain good egg pro.
duction right through periods Of
weather that is not as favorable
to egg production as natural
weather conditions. We believe
as Mrs. Shoup, that the poultry
man can measure himself as 2
pbultryman pretty well by the
standard of the attention he gives
to his flock in these times and the
foresight that he has to anticipate

Results secured last summer In
the Richland community on a dem
onstration of the use of the sum-
mer formula with green alfalfa as
the main bait, this being distrlput-
ed in sage brush areas just back
of cultivated fields, were very
good. The county agent personally
counted lit rabbits the first morn,
ing after distributing the bait ana
estimated that there were iuliy
15D rabbits. The farmer near whose
Mace this was done, estimated that
tbe noison had killed ut least 25O
by the third day. Only one ounce
of strychnine was used on this
demonstration. The same formula
was used at the Benson farm
north of Rattlesnake and cooper
ators there reported very good
kill. A number Of farmers about
the Richland community used this
formula last summer and reported
very good success.
The general conclusion drawn
by the county agent and the men
who have been giving their time
to the poisoning, would seem te
warrant the recommendation thai
rabbits are feeding heavily on sage
or do not have ready access to al
falfa hay stacks or fields, thai
much better results will be secured
from the strychnine by poisoning
during the summer time. The per
