County Fair Notes.
The fair costs a lot of work to
the people, but it is worth much
more than it costs and pays big
dividends on the investment.
The Brogan people who had
the oats that produced so heavi
ly and the perfect ears of corn
will select the best of their crop
for seed aud another season will
do better.
The people who had the to
matoes there had an opportun
ity of seeing perfect tomatoes,
filled so they will stand shipping
even surface and the other es
sential points and they will be
able to improve on what they
did this season.
The exhibit from the Nyssa
cheese factory will be a demon
stration to many to go into the
dairy business, not as an experi
ment but as a sure way of mak
ing better returns from their
acres.
That exhibit of Perry Hay
den's from Moore's hollow, show
iug what can be raised without
irrigation will encourage others
to try and do as well. Many of
them will succeed and increase
the production of the county.
