Smythe was injured as follows: Af ter the N.

ADDED INTEREST IN STATE FAIR Dairymen and farmers will find an additional interest at the forty-ninth annual Oregon State Fair that will be held in Salem September 12 to 17. Through the efforts of Paul V. Marls, superintendent of the dairy exhibit, aud the co-operation of the board of directors, a model dairy barn -has been constructed which includes all the features of conservation of space, drainage, ventilation and light that have proven of worth In the housing of milch cows by successful dairymen who have made these features a study. At this time when the dairying in dustry has been awakened to the great possibilities in Oregon, and the primitive manner in which the busi ness is conducted, has been brought to light through the visit to this state ot the great Danish dairy expert. Dr. Bernard Boeggild of Copenhagen, Denmark, the announcement that a model dairy barn will be one of the attractions at Oregon's 1910 show is most gratifying to every one, both dairymen aud the whole community who depend on the cow for a part nourishment to life, for every modern method known will be embodied in the new barn, and a competent ex pert will handle the exhibit, to thor oughly explain the up-to-date-methods used in the building of a barn and the care of the animals. Yes, Polk County Leads ' A subscriber writes to the Pacific Homestead doubting that Walter J. Domes has the greatest dairy herd ; on the Pacific coast. It is certain that Polk county can lay claim to that dis tinction, aud it is admitted by out side breeders. "Salem, Oregon. Editor Pacific ( Homestead: In looking over a recent copy of the Homestead I notice the advertisement of VV. J. Domes, Mc Coy, Oregon. It seems to me that he is putting it pretty strong when he claims the greatest dairy cow herd on the Pacific coast. Perhaps by a sys- tern of overfeeding he makes some good records, but 1 think he should ; be careful in making such claims as he does through the paper. A Sub scriber." !
