Oregon Farmer to
Show Products at
Fair Next Year
Bv ELDON BARRETT
SALEM; Sept. 13 (UP) Farm
er Brown, who for the last four
years has hardly had time to look
over the lay of the land in his
own south 40, at last is going to
have an opportunity to show off
his favorite Hereford heifer. At
the same, time he can take a look
around to 'see .what, benefits he
and his fellow farmers are going
to reap as the result of war.
The Oregon St.Ke board of
agriculture has announced the
state fair will be opened next
fall. What's more it's going to
be a full dress affair, greater than
ever before.
Exhibits will include such war
wrought contrivances as the farm
jeep, DDT powder demonstra
tions for insect control, and many
other new inventions and meth
ods brought about by war that
will be altered to meet the neods
of farmers.
Meantime plans are being made
to rejuvenate the fairgrounds
which took a heavy beating from
military vehicles.
New blacktop paving will be
spread in many buildings as well
as on the midway and other
areas.
The board of agriculture didn't
dissappoint the majority of farm
ers when it announced a fair will
not be held this fall.
Transportation difficulties as
well as farm labor problems
would have made it almost im
possible for most farmers to at
tend, let alone bring exhibits.
