Gardens

'RemodeIing'

For all the romantic talk about
the lush old garden, with its
dropping wisteria, spreading
shade trees. and rich crumbling
soil, there comes q time when
nearly every landscape plan
needs more than just its semi
annual cleanup.
Only a thorough going-over-
q remodeling-will give you the
kind Of garden you want or once
had. After two or three decades,
much plant material becomes
oyergrown. Years of topdressing
may mound up the soil in beds
so that water runs out onto
paths, says a recent issue of
Sunset magazine.
Even the best maintained gar
den can benefit in some ways
from doing things over" You
may want q change Of environ

proach the house or look out Of

change your landscaping to fit

Record Attendance Views RichIand
County Fair and Rodeo Thrills

The 38th annual Richland coun-
ty fair held last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, was undoubted-
~ the finest ever held in Eastern
Montana.
According to Secretary-Manager
Don Nutter, this years fair sur
passed all others in both receipts
and attendance. The previous high
was the year 1949.
Contributing greatly to the large
turnout, was the fact that harvest
ing in eastern Montana and west
ern North Dakota was completed.
Many people who in past years
were able to spend only n day
on the grounds, this year stayed
all three days. AS one farmer put
it, "By golly, we look forward to
this event all year long and this
year we're going to spend three
days enjoying ourselves"
The large crowds certainly
weren't displeased at what they
saw.
The rodeo staged all three af-
ternoonS by Alice Greenough, Joe
Orr and Oakley Dayton was ac-
claimed great by those fortunate
enough to get in the stands. Al
though the top riders expected
were unable to attend due to con-
flicting rodeoS, those competing
put on a good show for the spec
tators.
The winners Of the six events
for the three days were: Bareback
riding, Pete Fredricks; calf rop-
ing, John Burris: bulldogging,
Dean Armstrong; saddle bronc
riding Charles Mantle, and Brah-
ma bull riding, jim Fisher. In the
girls barrel race, Darlene Baye
and Jean Brody tied for first and
second and Donna McRae and
Jackie Adkins tied for third and
fourth.
In the evenings, the Clarence
Smith International Variety Revue
again showed why they are rated
n of the top shows in their class.
The acts were unusual and very
entertaining.
The carnival brought here by
Northern Exposition Shows was
probably the best Eastern Mon
tana has ever seen. Especially
pleasing to most parents were the
numerous "kiddie" rides this year.
During the three days the crowds
were entertained at the rodeo and
night shows by the excellent Sid
ney high school band on Thurs
day and Friday and the Fairview
band on Saturday.
Local merchants who displayed
their wares in the Commercial
Building again did an outstanding
job in decoration and displays. One
of the high lights in the building
this year was Ray Wright of
KICK broadcasting his nightly
musical show from n of the
booths.
The farmers from Sidney and
surrounding communities outdid
themselves providing the record
crowds with some OF the finest
