OCR COUNTY FAIR WE ARE NOT KNOCKERS Only three weeks from the date of this issue of The Tribune, our Ninth Annual Unn County Fair will l>e <»n hand '"That Th«- Sri«» Fair*’ as most people designate it, is gradual ly growing in scope and important»' cannot In- drnie«l The annual ex hilntion of pure registered horses, cattle, swine, sheep. goats an , poultry, shows that <»ur farmers hav« recognised the importance and th« profit of raising good stuff in slock and agricultural product*. This was not true of our fair a* the tieginning Our cattle stalls, swine, sheep and goat pros were few We could scarcely make a shallow of exhibition of registenHl stuff In rithor clans and rarely enough for competition. Now it is different. Nearly every farmer can Isiast of pure bred stock of one or more of th«-*- c I immw . Fa|«Tiaily is thia noticable in our swine pr<«luct* The «»Id lime razor back hog. marketed when one to two years old and weighing but a scant 160 pounds, has i«een replaced by high clan» grade or purebred, which weighs as much at six months The improvement in our dairy stock shows an advance of equal note. The Linn County Fair in largely responsible for tloow improved con ditiona. It causes the exhibition of pure bred stock for the inspection of the farmers in general anti plan the seller arnl buyer in touch. Th« fair. ala», excites rivalry in growing farm products of all kinds, result ing in the growing of lietter veife- tables, fruits, etc., and the conse quent better profit to the grower. Occasionally one will bear the re mark. **I don’t like Che management of the fair, the methods, etc.** It is much easier to criticise a method or manner of doing, than to tgk«- hold of an«i do the job. Suppose out fair officers do not conduct matters just to your liking? They are, evi dently. doing the liest they can and are devoting their time and energy without pav. Will you do as much and can you do as well? The Tribune twlievca it is the duty and should be the pleasure of every citixrn to exert his influence to help make the fair a success. You can say a good word or do a helpful act. which will cost you nothing. You can place something on exhibition and. even, if you do not get the premium, you can ascertain the reason why you fail If nothing else, you can show your appreciation by attending »nd thus help to bring up the financial end. We are told that there is some thing yet due <>n the uurchaar of the grounds Surely, farmers, you should l»e sufficiently interested to raise this lailancr and place the **««•- ciation on its feet if you cannot reap a direct benefit you will in directly. for in d«»ir«g something to build up the community, you are brnefittmg yourself or y«»ur children the market ha* laa-n rr*>w«k«d d«*wn so that th«- pnre for their product is reduced brl««w th«- cost of manu facture.
