Fall Fairs and
World Peace
If you thought you were just
having fun at the fall fair you will
be surprised • to learn that yott were
really promoting world peace on an
international basis. This is exactly
the claim made by the sponsors of
the fair. In a letter to exhibitors
the fair directors asked that entries
be submitted as "contributions to
peace."
World Security
At first it may be hard to see
why this fall fair should be any
different than the fairs of other
years. But when we realize that
scarcity of food is the greatest single
economic factor threatening us at
the moment the statement begins
to make sense. It will make still
more sense if we remember that
the encouragement of competition is
sot only good fun but essential to
high quality and high production.
Competitive Standard
There is 'no doubt.that the chl-
lenge of the fair waiting for each
farmer every fall helps him keep
his standards high. It has been
proven many times that this sport-
ing, competitive spirit has done
more even than high prices to make
agricultural producers excel their
last year's effort.

Complete Approval, is registered by Barry Hart, 9, as he contemplates the prize-winning angel
cake. ;n spite of the gloomy prospect of school days soon to return, all the youngsters enjoyed
the fair immensely. As a matter of fact the fair this year was a success for all concerned. The
attendance on the second day, of 15,000 was a record. The prophecy of the sponsors of the
fair that this year would be the greatest so far came true. The competition in all fields was
very keen, from the angel cake exhibit to the Sheep and Swine show. The organization was
excellent. Few people realize the great amoun t of work entailed in a community effort of this
kind. Thousands of letters had to be written and thousands of phone calls made. Judges had
to be selected and entry lists made up. For example, a comnfittee of twelve men worked for
,months to direct the work of maintaining the fair grounds, and another group worked just
as hard to make sure the fair was properly advertised.

Cattle Show Is
Fair Highlight
This year as last year, your 1%1.-
0 -Pep reporter found the cattle
were one of the prime drawing cards
of the Fair. The champs and near-
champs appearing at all the Fairs
remind this reporter forcibly that
unquestionably ,thousands of fine
animals have been taken out of
breeding herds simply because they
were not adequately fed. It's only
when good feeding and good breed-
ing are combined that top quality
animals are produced. They need
sufficient vitamins for sound health
and good breeding and enough
organic mineral salts for sound
bones and good blood if you expect
good results in your breeding herd.
Full Weight Necessary
Cows that are to be bred should
be in good flesh. Following the
drought years, the calf crops were
greatly reduced indicating that sup-
plementary feeding on the range in
summertime is as important as in
winter. Cattle that are losing weight
are not in good breeding condition.
Watch your cattle for a month or
so prior to breeding time to make
sure they are holding their own or
gaining slightly in weight. If not
feed enough Ful -O -Pep range cubes
in the short grass country to put
them in good breeding condition.
In the long grass country or when
feeding hay, use Quaker Ful -O -Pep
32% Cattle Conc"ntrate Cubes.
Dry Grass Supplement
Whenever there is ample rainfall
and good grass, cubes are not neces-
sary; but when the range is bare
and dried up, cubes will pay for
themselves many tunes over in the
additional size of the calf crop. The
amount to feed per day will depend
on the• severity of the condition.
It may run from one to three lbs.
of cubes per head per day.
Generally speaking, the amount of
cube feeding required will depend.
on the amount of rainfall and the
length of the grass, .Although it
will be found that due to the differ-
ing topsoil qualities slightly differ-
ent treatment will obtain in differ-
erent parts of the country. Care-
ful attention to progress through
the first little while will repay the
observer.

Curtain Time, Lust Night of Bair
After the Fair Was Over—This unusual night shot was taken by the
Ful -O -Pep photographer after the crowds had gone home and just before
the concession lights had been dimmed. The myriad not -les of the fair
are now silent, The screams of children on the ferris wheel and the
cries of the barkers on the Midway are over for another season. The
process of dismantling the booths and exhibits is underway. The occa-
sional figure can be seen hurrying down the strangely lonely avenues.
Behind the scenes there is still a.frantic bustle of activity. While the
crowds are hone in bed the organizers of the fair will be working far
into the night. Electricians will be clipping cables and removing.gen-
erators. Carpenters will be pulling down facades and marquees. Truckers
will be loading up their vans. Fair officials will be checking off lists of
equipment. Many of then will be wearily declaring that they will not go
through all this exhausting labour another time, but many of them said
that last year and will be back again to say it next year When they recall.
the fair during the winter months to come they will only remember the
good times that were had and their nerve wracking labours will fade
into the background.
