Regarding conditions at Salem, Mr. Reynolds explains: "No more picnics will be permitted on the state fair grounds after that of the Iowa society August 17, until the state fair is over. This measure is taken to protect tho lawns and flow er beds from possible injury. "The fair grounds and buildings are all in excellent condition at the pres ent time for the opening of what promises to be the greutest stato fair ever held In the Pacific northwest and the fair board does not desire to take any chances of courting serious dam age to any of the beautiful flower beds and the velvety green lawns just upon the eve of the big exposition, or with tho possibility of need of repair and replacement, at considerable ex pense, when time is now at a prem ium. "With the baling of the oat hay, the work of getting in the hay crops will be well in hand the vetch anuoat hay having been baled and hauled away.

Great Poultry Exhibit. !Wl L. Fulmer of Portland, who will be superintendent of the ooultrv de partment at this year's fair, called up on secretary ijca recently ana made thorough inspection of the building, equipment, etc., and .outlined his plains in a general way.' Mr. Fulmer, one of the best known and expert au torities Upon poultry, has some excel lent and original plans in formulation for the big Oregon show which are calculated to bring out the very best that is in it from an educational standpoint. Aside from the lectures upon points of judging, which will be given by W. M. Coats, judge of the poultry exhibit, each day, arrange ments will be made to have other lec tures delivered by well known and ac cepted authorities covering the most essential features of poultry culture from a show and commercial stand point. "From the number and character of inquiries and requests for premium lists and entry blanks being received by both Mr. Fulmer and Secretary Lea, poultry producers who have nev er shown at the Orccon state fair be fore, assurance is given of the inter est and enthusiasm aroused in this year's show and indicates the biggest and best to have ever been held in the northwest. Superintendent Fulmer is a "live wire" organizer and mana ger of poultry exhibits and he is en tering into the spirit of the Oregon fair show with a zest and enthusiasm which does even him proud. Many Fast Horses. "Entries and inquiries are also coming in in all classes of livestock and the different departments of ex- nimts ana tne scope and character or all of these will be much greater and better than ever before. In keeninc with the policy of making every fea ture and phase of the 1916 state fair educational in every sense of the word arrangements have been and are be ing made for practical demonstration work in every department of exhibits so that the state fair visitors will be accorded every possible advantage. The horses in training at Lone Oak track are working out very satisfac tory and under the most agreeable of conditions and with some of the best harness talent in the country entered in the different early closing events and flattering prospects for heavy en tries and exciting competition in the late closing events, the indications are that the speed program will be one of the best ever pulled off west of the Rockey mountains. The track is in excellent condition, being worked every day with harrow and float, and will be in perfect condition, at least a second faster than ever before in its history, before the gong, sounds for the opening race of the state fair pro gram."
