ture a very excellent display o
farm produce. Long considered a.
n one truly agricultural fair il
the state. this years exposition
Will place emphasis on beautiful
~ arranged and artistically dis

Fair Manager Don Nutter and
County Agent Dean Davidson in
meeting with the various COM
munities have found that many of
them have their backgrounds
completed and many of the for
age and grass shelves ready for
county collective and the best
showing. The competition for the
decorated booth awards will be
keen. Underdog communities are
serving notice on champions of
former years, that this year will
be no walk-away and that their
coveted awards may well finally
rest in different hands.
Mr. Davidson is satisfied that
the All general, the All beef
and other livestock exhibits will
far axceed last years and under
the Danish judging system, blue
and red ribbons should be award
ed In great number. Vo-ag direc-
tor, Jim Norden, believes the FLA
exhibits will be numerous in
quantity and excellent in quality.
One of the primary Qualifications
for the holding of a county fair
is the value it has to the youth
program.
In striving to attain perfection
as a All or FLA member. the
young exhibitor lays the founda-
ton for his future as a farmer
who will play a leading role in
making this one of the better
farm communities in the state.
The 1855 agricultural exposition
will undoubtedly reach a new

years display will be well worth
seeing. People owning relics of the
"old days" are urged to ente1
them through Mrs. Fisher or the
Fair office.
The Richland County Sports
mems club has obtained additional
space in which to expand their
wlldlife exhibit. Club officers
Buster" Dotson and Dan Price
advise that many more animals
will be shown this year. AS a
.flrst year, exhibit in 1858 this
display attracted thousands in
1894 and will please everyone in
attendance this year. Because of
the no outside gate admission, the
exhibit will be "free" to all. Last
year, the wildlife, agricultural,
commercial and industrial dis
plays were "the fair" to many
people. The knowing that every
Kid can enjoy the Richland Coun-
ty Fair brings great satisfaction
to the Fair Board and Manager
Don Nutter. Exhibits like those
listed above can bring that en-
joyment to that "every kid"

County Harvest
Progressing At
Rapid Pace

One of the best cereal grair
crops III recent years is being har-
vested at a rapid pace in Richland
county, according to Dean David
son, Richland county agent. Ideal
weather conditions are aIIowine
harvesting machinery to start
work early in the morning and
continue on until late in the eve
ming.
Harvesting has been speeded I'D
considerably by the general prac-
tice of Swathing and this is par
ticularly so with oats and barley.
1t is expected that the majority
Of the durum wheat will also he
windrowed.
Yields as high as As bushels
per acre of spring wheat. 35 BUSH
els per acre of durum, 70 bushels
per acre of oats, and so bushels
per acre of barley have been re-
ported in the dryland area. The
average, however, is running
about 20-30 bushels per acre for
spring wheat and 40 to so bushels
per acre for barley and oats.
Local elevator operators have
indicated that nearly all of the
spring wheat and durum received
SO far has graded No. 1. They also
report that their storage bins are
full and that they ear only re-
grain as fast as the railroad
cars come in. 1t appears that farm
storage will be filled to capacity
on most farms this year.
Dryland farmers in the county
are hopeful that harvest will be
completed in plenty of time to
prepare for the Richland county
fair this year. If the weather con-
1nues favorable harvest should
