Record-breaking attendances were
the features of th« Cimarron Valloy
fair Thursday and today.
Events in the speed ring were fully
up to advance notices and tl\e im-
mense crowds were given the full
value of their money.
Four thousand dollars in premiums
are beinir distributed and the judges
are being kept busy making awards
The dreams of the officers who hav«
worked long and hard, with an abid
ing faith that they would see grea
and good results, have 'been more
than realized. Already they are be
ginning to worry over what is ahead
of them for next year. For well the
understand that this is but an indi
cation of the great things which are
to come to the Cimarron Valley Fair
association in the years to come.
The hearty co-operation of the
farmers of Logan county show that
this section of the state is determin
ed to have a good fair, and that, with
the fair and honest management o
the affairs of the association there
is no question except as to the de
giee of success.
The Cimarron Valley fair is a per
manent fixture for this part of th
state for all time to come.
Scott, of Mulhall Wins First Honors
While it has not been officially an
nounced it is understood that tin
award for the largest and best agri
cultural display will go, first to P F
Srott, of Mulhall, and second, to Xici,
Stevens. As to the plan for exhibit
ing these wonderful aggregations at
either Oklahoma City or Wichita, th
matter is today simply up to the
management of those fairs as t
whether they will provide the neces
sary space for properly displaying th
exhibits or not. Up to the present
moment nothing definite or satisfac-
tory has been received from either
source. The Scott display may
sent, to the Muskogee fair.
An Example of Intensive Farming
The Scott exhibit as shown hat
over 400 entries, with many in ti:
storage cases which could not be ai
ranged in the space available. Then
are 27 different varieties of oats
of wheat. 17 of barley. The displa
of wild grasses embraces r 2 different
varieties, with a large number hel<
in reserve. The 32 varieties of cori
includes a sample of the original from
which all these varieties were brc
up, and what is known in ancient
history as the "corn of wheat." Then
are all the known varieties of kaffir
and maize family, four clovers, wit I
spelts and enter .and six varieties of
potatoes. The cotton embraces both
the Mabene and the TIartsville most-
ly the former. There are all tie
vegetables and fruits found on a sood
well organized farm. All this displa.
was grown wtih five inches of pre-
cipitation. covering the period from
January 1st to August 1st, as every-
thing was practically made and ma-
tured by that date. This exhibit. th«
one made by Nick Stevens and the
exhibits made by the boys clubs, to-
gether with the large number of fine
displays from smaller farms, show
| that the matter of a little rain, more
