I realize very forcibly that th$ county lair is an institution.of great worth and service io ,.ie county ainl I am heartily in favor of an appro priation for its support. I would fjggist. however, that lUe legisla ture. If it decide to ma’.e tins appro priation, designate that the amount be offered in prizes to the farmers And I would suggest tsat the Fair association give these prizes to those tanners making the t»est farm dis play at the fair, giving sucri prizes as would be woith trying, for, and come for live clock exhibits. 1 1 an no* see where there could be any • rithmiu of our del< gation for doing this. In fact i believe the members ivould bo (cmmendeu ail over the lounty, and that the., would make friends by such action. What do you think of' it. gentle ; men? Aro you in favor of such a> *ion?
