needed good county fair
Morrow county needs a good coun
ty fair, ;. modern county fair, a coun
ty fair that will be a source of pleas
ure, pride and profit to every resident
of the county.
Perhaps no other county in Oregon
lias Ri'Mter need for an A No. 1,
strictly first water, really Simon-pure
county fair than Morrow county be
cause perhaps no other county has
within her boundaries such potential
possibilities for early growth and de
velopment. VV'iili all due respect to the pioneer
Mod; men and Wheat farmers of the
comily, it may be said that the stock
and funning industries in Morrow
coun'.y are yei in their infancy. True
in U:e early days when the bunch
pras.i waved in the breezes and the
flocks and herds rustled their living
the year around, it was a great stock
country, but after a few years the
ire" range gave out and an occasion
al severe winter put a crimp in the
stock business from which it required
years to recover.
The same was true of the early
('mining operations. The wonderf jlly
h:'tr ,but fertile soil, so easily cuti
vale. was a boon to the old-time
homesteader, but 40 cent wheat and a
loin; haul to market encouraged lax
fanning methods and after a few
ye n:, of "volunteer" crops the farm
er Iniind that he had a 'hard row to
hoe and that about the only two
things lie was quite sure of were
regular taxes and frequent crop fail
u res.
Itut times have changed. Today the
stockman prepares himself for win
ter by raising or buying plenty of
feed and the farmer also guards
against the wrath to come by deep
plowing, thorough cultivation, and
iVL'iy other method yet known that
will eoiiserve the moisture in his soil,
insure his rut her high priced
hind lo bring forth abundanat crops
will: each succeeding season.
Slock and farming industries are
the basis of all wealth ill fills county
and while we have learned much of
better methods in the past few years
there is yet much more that can bo
learned which will insure still great
er returns for the capital invested
and the labor expended In these great
industries.
A good county fair, an efficient,
well managed county fair, a county
fair that has for its object the up
building of the stock and farming in
dustries in all their varied branches,
is a sort of annual clearing house for
modem ideas. It offers an induce
ment for every farmer, every breeder,
every boy or girl member of a school
pig or chicken club to make an hon
est effort to produce a pig or a
chicken, a colt or a calf or a sample
of wheat or stool of alfalfa a little
better than his neighbor has produc
ed and such friendly rivalry can not
help but build up the particular line
of industry in which he is interested.
Every added dollar of value to the
annual production of the county's
farms and ranges is of monetary val
ue to every resident of the county
whether he be farmer, stockman,
merchant, lawyer or laborer. If the
farmer and stockman has money in
the hank and in his pocket we will all
benefit in some direct or indirect
way. These are a few of the reasons
why Morrow county needs a good
county fair.
Hut there are other advantages. A
really good county fair that the peo
ple are Interested in and take pleas
ure in attending has a social and an
educational side that is worth while.
Spoils are made a feature at all real
ly good county fairs in these later
days and good, clean sport is about
as important to most human beings
as Is any other interest.
According to present plans the new
Morrow county fair will make racing
a feature and will offer as good at
tractions in that line as are now of
fered at the Oregon state fair and
other pretentious institutions. Then
(hero will b strictly educational ex
hibits and features as well as- fine
music, brilliant oratory and many
other things that go to make fair
wee'k a truly festival time.
The committee in charge of organi
zation of the new fair 'has decided
that a capital stock of $2".. 000 is
necessarv to make the Morrow eoun-
I
ty fair a really good fair and these I
gentlemen who are giving of their
time and energy In the promotion of
this really worth while institution are
out thu week carrying on a can.paign
ior selling this stock. Of the amount
It has been agreed between a num
ber of representative business men of
Heppner and representative farmers
and business men of other parts of
the county that one-half of the stock
shall be taken in the Heppner district
and the remainder in the balance of
the county. The outside men say that
their quota is as good as raised and
it is now up to Heppner to mke good
her part and make it good quick. In
a direct way many business institu
tions in Heppner will benefit more
than any other people in the county.
In an indirect way Heppner will bene
fit with the rest of the county.
This is a matter in which every
resident of Heppner , should take
pride in helping with a substantial
stock subscription. The burden
should not be left, as it too often has
been left, to a few liberal minded
business men on Main street. Every
property owner should take what
stock he can afford because in so do
ing he is helping the county in which
he is making or rnas made his money.
A burden evenly distributed is not
a burden. Let all put a shoulder to
the wheel and help make this the best
county fair in Oregon.
