The fair board has had sprink lers running and the grounds are damp and the grass Is growing. Even oat In the arena clover is up six inches high and cowpokes who bite the dust are going to get a mouthful of * clover first. The pipes under the track make It possible to keep it wet. New planking on the grandstand seats is being put on to make it safer for those who like to do some jumping around when the horses come down the track. • Have .you noticed the trees at the fair grounds lately. They are growing fine, growing like weeds and big enough to give protection from wind. Pretty, too. And the county court broke * down and paved the road to the grounds last year. So wlth;< the dust settling improvei one should be able to wear a white shirt two days at the fair. But then who's going to wear a white shirt? The proper gai'b win be a bright one, green, yel low, red and the . women will have on some flowered stuff that looks wild like a cowboy bnt more' refined. Division superintendents, which, Is fair lingo for crew chiefs, straw bosses, poobahs, or some thing similar, are saying that there is going to be a good lot of animals at the fair. Of horses Dewey Thompson says he’ll have a barn full and the horse barn stretches clear to • the distant ^heds. Arabians, Appaloosas, Pal- ominos, Quarter horsAs, Saddle bred» will be Mhowing off the first* days and folks will admire them nntil the final moments. ~ The ’4-H boys and girls have a lot of calves this year. Borne of them are tremendous, big and plump, neckless with obesity and cashed better than the boys who handle • them. (The hoys ^sometimes find the little dirty.) going is a Then there’s going to be mask*. The North westerns, a group of five fun-makers with fiddles, large and small, and other stuff with which to make nice noise. They ordinarily play for KKX but we were told that the sta tion will close down so the boys can come to the Sherman County Fair. Anyway they are going to be here. If yon think of anything else you’d like to have at a county fair harry np and say so and the board will probably do it be cause the board la most anxious to please. The board, you see, Is used to doing things for the krone riders, the bull doggers, - the club kids, the horse owners, the cake makers, the Jockeys,the poultry producers, the hamburger handlers, the ticket takers and giving a hand to the usually sil ent spectators will be a pleasure. But probably the most impor tant thing about the Sherman County Fair is that It Is your fair. Fairs used to be places where producers went to show off their stuff for sale. Now they do It for display and to adver tise the county or district ami show what it can and docs pro duce. , The Hhermna County Fair will show off the county, wit strate what the county produces. There will be wheat there, nat urally. Because wheat , isn’t showy enough to suit, there will be other and flashier exhibits, like calves and tomatoes and crocheting. One can watch the displays with pride that this, his native land, grew these things on the hills he sees daily; the hills he watches the sun warm with light each morning and that are green a n d .-gold and brown with crop and fallow rotations throughout the year. These exhibits and the thousands of commercial produce like them are our assurance of existence. lan d that can grow food is what we live by. All wc have come from it. And so we’ll meet you at the cow barn where the fat cows are grunting in their stalls, or at the race track when the horses are pounding down the stretch or leaning on the fence some place and we’ll say “It’s a good fair” which it will be, and also Mlt ’s a fine county” which It is.
