The eleven booths erected In the Junior club department, showed the skill and care of the young folks, and the arrangement was very pretty and attractive. The Exhibits were Judged by R.

A. Moore, of Madison, who highly praised the work of the young people of Marathon county. The prizes for booth contents and arrangement were as follows: BETTER FAIR FOR 1924 The Fifty- annual Wisconsin Valley Fair and Exposition Is ft thing of thei. and its record is a good one, in attendance and in the numbed quality of the The fair rieen a success from many standpoints; has been praised by ex and enjoyed by thousands of city and country people. It wrfertaininK, amusing and educational.

It has become in event in cf life, a thing looked forward to, prepared for and omething the women and the children can enjoy as well as men. The Wised Valley fair has become much more than a county fair. It is arict exposition, attracting exhibits and people from many countie central Wisconsin, and is looked to by the state to serve this grcentral territory, for the many who cannot go to the state fail account of the distance and cost. The management has trio meet the newer conditions, and have sought exhibits from ide circle, while retaining special opportunities for the home r- The agrifal and dairy exhibits were never surpassed, it is believed, in (district fair in the state. The date is early for this northern sei, but this year the farmers produced wonderful crops of cooats, rye and barley, and in vegetables the display equalled anyen, in quality, at the state fair.

The catcogs and sheep shown received the praise of the state judges whom that for quality the live stock was of exceptional value and octer. The falbntains something for home women, for business women, fos and girls, and for city and farm men. All of the exhibits dot attract all, but surely most people could rind much to interest if they look for it. A notaJnprovement was the junior exhibits, double the space given the before being occupied, and many more boys and girls show the results of their club projects. The training of the youngs of the farm is one of the best features of modern educationae, and the Wisconsin Valley fair is aiding this work.

The lGlair is now a thing of the past. What of the next one? What imp-'ments could be made in the fair, what changes will make it atter fair, a more interesting one, a more educational one The lu Daily Rccord-IIerald invites intelligent, constructive suggestiornd criticisms from the men and the women of the farm. Would like to have letters signed by the writers which would styt things to the Marathon county agricultural society what is stacking, if anything in the annual fair. There are many things wlfmay be said in a fair and clear way, which will be of real help.et us have suggestions, advice and criticism which will aid in th-eloping of the valley fair into a still greater exposition. It is for tfarmcrs and their wives, and most of the exhibits come from them.

Is there anything in the show or management which is wrong1 can be remedied? Are there additions and improvements wl appeal to the farmer or to his wife?

AT OCTOBER MEET E. L. Luther, State Superintendent, Says Many Are Asking For Dates Madison, August 28. Preliminary plans for the winter drive In Farmers' Institute work will he-made at the Normal Institute conference to be held at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture during the week of October 21. Many requests for Institutes have already been received according to E.

"Logging operations attract many in the northern conferences before the settlers go into the woods for the winter." the miracle working stuff" will be the text of one of the better farming sermons which institute workers will doliver this winter. The advantages of alfalfa and its bountiful opportunities to Badger farmers on soils which have been properly limed will be the keynote of the Institutes.

ST. LOUIS BOASTS OF FINE ORCHIDS St. Louis. (By the Associated Press.) With 5,200 plants recently added to Its orchid collection, the Missouri Botanical Garden here is said to have the largest and most varied orchid collection in America, if not in the world. G.

H. Pring, horticulturist at the garden, who collected the 5,200 plants in Colombia and Panama, says that the collettion includes a number of Panamanian orchids hitherto unknown to the United States, and a rare albino specimen said to be one of only two plants of its kind known to exist. It Is a whitish mauve orchid, and Mr. Pring obtained It in Panama. The Panama collection is made up of 300 plants, representing 106 varieties, said to be the largest and most diverse number of Panamanian orchid i that has ver reached the United States.

About seventy-five ot the varieties never have been displayed in this country, Mr. Pring asserts.

BT BADGER CdS Wisconsin Special Shows Wheat Farmers What Can Be Done By Dairying Dairvlnar nrneress In the west going forward by "leaps and bounds" it became known here through word received by Wisconsin livestock men. Westerners attribute the heightened interest in the dairy cow to the tour of the Transcontinental Dairy special, I which returned Recently from an exhibition trip through a dozen western states. Advices from Idaho tell of the influx of cheese factories. Within a thirty iile radius of Rexburg. seven Wisconsin cheesemakers have located factories since the re-i turn of the special, less than thirty days ago.

The entrance of these manufacturing plants In that sec-'tion is regarded as a big factor In the induction of more dairying, for the state has been handicapped because of inadequate market tor milk and butterfat. The president of one of the leading banks of Rexburg states that dairymen are erecting dairy barns and improving the quarters they no whave for their stock in anticipation of securing more stock and handling that which they now have with more facility. He predicts success for these western dairymen and states that dairy cattle secured from Wisconsin have proved very satisfactory and that Badger state will undoubtedly feel a heavy demand to stock the farms of Idaho.

FARMERS' BOY i (Forbes Magazine) here's often a question in the minds of the public," says James Aampbell, who was raised on an Ohio farm and is president of tbfoungstown Sheet and Tube "as to why so many boys from tbarm make good in business. As I look at it.

it is first of all beef they have the foundation of rugged health without which the aige man cannot meet the terrific strain which comes with heavy risibilities. farmer's boy has been brought up in the open, he has lived dimple, nutritious food, has been obliged to depend on himself, ajhas no false notions of life, because he has studied it from its piitive side. He is simple In his action, honest in his intent, and aird worker. All these traits are essential to the man who is hiing up a business. Sis greatest handicaps are his lack of knowledge of finance and ohe world at large.

The early difficulties of many men who start- Jrom a farm might be traced to the fact that they minimized the for sufficient capital and depended too much on their own ef-i to pull them through. Without doubt, self-confidence and indi-tal ability were the foundations of their success, but they often yed through serious financial difficulties before it was attained." farathon County at State Fair Again This Dollar Wheat Not So Fatal as Some Writers Have Claimed It Was Year With Exhibits (This article taken from the United States Service dated August 4, 1023.) In view of the fact that so much attention has been given to the decline of wheat prices, along with exaggerated conclusions that current prices spell serious depression agricultural sectcions, we present the following table of 1922 crop values. We do this In order that clients may reach proper cconcluslons regarding the relative importance of the wheat crop: Per cent ot Value Farm Products Corn $1,900,000,000 1 21.2 Hay and- Forage 1.409,000,000 16.7 Cotton Lint and Seed 1,370,000,000 15.3 Wheat 884,000,000 9.7 Oats 479,000,000 5.3 Tobacco 306,000,000 3.4 Potatoes 263,000,000 2.9 Apples 202,000,000 2.3 Rye 50,000,000 .7 A careful study oi these figures tends to explode the theory that dollar wheat means the total collapse of farm buying. We do not discount the difficulties which wheat farmers are now facing, but, fortunately, only 9.7 percent of the purchasing ability of our farmers Is affected by wheat prices. Corn is twice as important as wheat and today corn is selling twenty-five percent above quotations a year ago.

Marathon county has a fine show at the state fair at Milwaukee hlch opened Monday, and In the show booth, and In the stock pavl-ons the county growers and breeders show choice specimens of their arms and dairies.
