With a constantly growing and im •
proving exhibition in which the agri-

time-honored structures to make way
for the fine new steel and brick live-
stock arena.
$40,000 will be expended this year or

The agricultural, industrial and han-
dicrafts exhibits will exceil all pre-
vious efforts and will be well display-
