Several of those which are operat- Ag this year have announced cur- tkiled schedules, however, with fewer attractions and in some cases reduced premiums. Spectators, however, found one note of optimism in the situation, with announcement by a half dozen of the fairs that there will be no charge for admission at the gate.

This experiment was tried for several years at the North Iowa Free Fair, Mason City, and was found to be successful enough to warrant its continuance.

They have taken into consideration not only the meager expense of planting, tending and harvesting grains or of breeding livestock but. also such items of cost accounting as the business man calculates in industry: upkeep, interest on investment, maintenance and return for labor.

According to the figures of these farmers, corn costs 92 cents per bushel, oats 49 cents, wheat $1.36, barley 73 cents, rye 77 cents, clover seed $19.74, and timothy seed 3.14. Tame hay costs $17.66 per ton and wild hay per ton. The livestock costs claimed by the farmers are: hogs. $11.25 per hundredweight, beef $10.40, veal $13.30, lambs $12.67 and wool 40 cents. Produce figures are: chickens 24 cents per pound, butterfat 62 cents per pound and eggs 35 cents a dozen.

The strike, ordered by the National Farmers' Holiday association to begin at 5 a. August 15, unless prior notice is given by the association officials, will endeavor, to halt sale by farmers of their products for a 30-day period and also a curtailment of farm buying during the same period. "We accept the challenge of those who declared 'Farmers won't stick the association, said in announcing its general strike. "We insist that the American the great, slumbering awakened and that his demands will be heard." The organization warned its members that "strenuous efforts will be made to confuse and cause dissolution of the 'strike We ask that they depend upon the county and township officers of the Farmers' Holiday association for accurate information." The association seeks to call attention of the country to the condition of agriculture and thus bring about higher prices for farm products. 29 BABY BEEVES FOR FAIR Further Elimination Is Possible STATE committee appointed by County Agent Harley Walker reported last week that the selection of 29 baby beeves Intended for competition In the 4-H division at tbe state lair at Des Moines.
