tries Expected

At an adjourned meeting of the
directors and superintendent of
the Stearns County Agricultural
Society held at the fair grounds
Sunday afternoon, it was decided
to hold a sales day in connection
with the fair this year. This sales
event will be held during the af-
ternoon Of Saturday, August 18th.
and is for the purpose of giving
exhibitors an opportunity to sell
stock. Judging of exhibits will
take place Saturday morning.
Other features of the fair this
year will be a flower show and a
horse show. Arrangements are now
being completed for both of these
events. This will be the fourth an
nual flower show to be held in
this community, and elaborate
plans are being made for it. A
rock garden and other formations
of interest to lovers of flowers
will be features. The first and Sec
ond flower shows in this city were
held at the Unger Furniture COM
pany. The third annual event was
held at the Armory. The show has
grown to such proportions that it
was deemed best to hold it in con-
nection with the fair, and hence
it is being added as one of the de-
partments. Premiums for this
event will be paid from state
funds, and special prizes will be
hung up by business men as in
the past.
The directors spent the after
noon in inspecting the various
buildings and making arrange
ments for the placement of exhib-
its. The storm Of Sunday did con-
siderable damage to roofs Of the
larger buildings, and AL Salmond,
superintendent OF the grounds.
was instructed to see that the nee
essary repairs are made.
Owing to extra features and ex-
pected larger entries some chang
es are necessary for the place
ment of exhibits. Stock barn No.
8 will be converted to house the
poultry and horse exhibits. The
old poultry building will be given
over to the All clubs to care for
the overflow of exhibits from the
regular All building, and the race
horse barns will be used for the
overflow of stock, in place OF
stock barn No. 8. The overflow OF
sheep will be put in the poultry
building if necessary.
The directors also decided to use
one-half of the Administration
building for the flower show, the
balance to be used by merchants,
who have permanent space for
commercial exhibits. It was also
decided to contact the State Game
and Fish department as to type
and size Of exhibit to be arranged
this year. This has been one Of the
features Of the fair for several
years and it is hoped that another
exhibit may be arranged for this
year.
The old school building will be
used as a clinic during the day
and at night will be converted into
sleeping quarters for All caretak-
ers. The rural school building will
be turned over to the All clubs as
will also the north section of the
Domestic Arts building. Rural
school exhibits will be placed with
the All entries, as Supt. Garland
and Miss Moan Anderson, All lead
err, are working comparatively in
All and rural school work.
It Is expected that every foot OF
space in all of the buildings will
DE utilized and that each building
will be taxed to capacity.
