on funeral march, which the at
tendant assured us had nothing
whatever to do with the exhibit.
Singer sewing machines and Gen.
eral Electric refngerators complete
the circle of exhibits around the
walls of the main exhibition hall.
In the center are: the attractive
| Hulse-Anderson exhibit, mentioned
elsewhere, and the Ford and Dodge
Plymouth auto displays. The Ford
features an "open chassis" so that
visitors can just see what the in
nardS" of car look like. The
Dodge-plymouths can make an
honest man almost turn auto thief,
If one had any chance OF getting
away with it.
Visitors are attracted by a fine
looking motorboat, and are surprised
/ to learn that It was made by three
Central high school students, Roger
Anderson, John Schreiner and Fred
Swingle. These boys certainly de-
serve a bit of praise for the ingen-
uity and mechanical skill shown.
Tommy Harris is owner OF the boat.
Those interested in the Townsend
rlan will find a booth in exhibition
hall where full information on the
project may be obtained.
Whiting-Mead's "house on wheels"
Just inside the main gate, is no.
vel and interesting exhibit full OF
interest to home owners and to
those who don't own their homes. 1t
fits in fine with the federal housing
set program.
Fine Farm Exhibits
A "hell-for-leather" trip thorugh
the livestock departments of the
fair this morning brought promise
to go back there again and do 1t
better when one has more time.
City folk may not know much
about farm things but even city
fellow cannot help but admire the
herds from the Scheniman, Have
korst and Farrisworth ranches.
Scheniman features HolSteins, and
believe it, they make dandy ap-
pearance with the black and white
coats. The handsome Guernseys
featured by Havekorst and Farms
worth look equally fine and the val
ley may well be proud of these three
herds. The All clubs have l9 calves
on exhibition TO show what the
youngsters are doing on livestock
projects, and Messrs. Scheniman,
Havekorst and Farnsworth had bet
ter watch their laurels.
Somebody may shoot us for this,
but there is only one thing in all
the fine things We saw at the fair
that we would really steal, and will
do so one of these nights If We get
the chance and Molly doesn't kick
too much. What we would like to
have is Domingo. You don't know
what that is? Well, take look at
Domingo, the cute little colt in the
/ horse exhibit. Born on March 3, he
! stands close to his mother Molly
when he isn't eating, and gives fair
visitors the once over. He eats most
of the time.
Next to Domingo are Betsy, two
weeks old and Bright Eyes, one week
old. We forgot TO ask their mamas
their names. They are every bit as
cute as Domingo and We must con-
fess our preference for the latter
| is his handsome brown and white
coat. Betsy and Bright Eyes are
! lighter. This is fair warning TO the
owner of Molly and Domingo.
The poultry exhibit was as usual.
BY that we mean the ROSTERS were
doing all the growing and the hens
were doing the work. We saw sew
eral eggs. One big cook
let a blast our right beside us and
| his bass voice made us think it was
Tom reams and the fire wagons
coming. Chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese, rabbits, guineas, they are all
there and worth seeing.
This visit wound up in the hog
department, where Loveland RAN
cho has fine display OF Durocs
well worth. seeing. Also interesting
are the sheep from Bard, the third
generation Of a crosS-breed between
Hampshire rams and native ewes,
showing what can be done TO I'M
prove the strain.
This Is only the result OF hurried
observation through the fair. 1t Is
we'll worth taking time and every
one In the valley should see 1t.
Excellent Citrus Show
without questi1a this year the
agricultural and horticultural dis
plays. the farm center booths and
the entry by the agricultural COM
missioner's office are better than
ever before.
In the agricultural and horti-
cultural division the citrus is un-
usually effective in display. Impe-
rial Valley Grapefruit Growers
prize winning display has by means
of colored wrappers and shredded
paper, depicted wonderfully pic
turesque desert scene, mountains
in the background, farmer cul-
tivating his orchard and in the
foreground, a Mexican leading his
donkey approaching the ranch
