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

Surely, farmers, you
