Gates of the Nineteenth annual
Lane county fair were opened
Wednesday morning on one of tbe
largest exhibitions of agricultural
and home economics product« and
livestock which has been seen at
the county exposition grounds for
many years. Manufacturer« and in
dustrial displays are very attrac
tive, but are not quite as numerous
as In former years.
Today has been designated aa
Eugene day at the fair and county
offices will close during the after
noon permitting employes to attend
the fair program.
Friday w ill be Grange day. M ar
shall N. Dana, associate editor of
the Oregon Journal, and actively in
terested in the dairy development
of this state. Will be the principal
speaker.
Admit Children Free
Children under 10 years will be
admitted free to the grounds ac
cording to Mabel H. Chadwick, sec
retary of the fair. She also wishes
to remind the people that tickets
will be refunded to the largest fam
ily in attendance at the fair this
year.
Judging of exhibits at the fair
were well under way In tbe Four-
H division Wednesday morning.
The Judges were still working on
other exhibits late last night.
The outstanding group exhibit of
the fair, as in former years, contin
ues to be the floral display and en
trance as arranged by Ben Keeney,
county assessor. This year he has
devised an elaborate grotto In tbe
small room leading Into the ac
tual display of the various blooms.
Local Displays Predominate
Livestock displays are very in
teresting this year, due partly to
tbe presence of so many exhibits
by local breeders. This Is especial
ly true ot the horse show which
features Lane County auimals.
Agricultural exhibits have been
carefully arranged by most of the
Grange organisations of the county.
The size and quaHty ot the farm
produce thia year is surprising,
and due largely to the satisfactory
growing conditions ot the year.
Especially interesting In connection
with the agricultural exhibits Is the
large variety of products which are
grown In Lane county and which
can be eDjoyed In a ripened condi
tion all at the same time.
Of course the Four-H boys and
girls have their usual large dis
play of home, farm, and forest pro
