Three Years of Preparation
Preceded First Farmers Fair
After three years of planning and
preparation the first Farmers Fair
was held on the Agricultural college
campus in 1017. The war oc
cupied the attention of everyone the
next two years and no Fair was held

held annually, the sixth exhibition

The primary object of the Fair is
to bring the College of Agriculture
before the people of the state in a
different light and to furnish an
opportunity to put into practical use
some of the things learned during the
school year. Every student can take
part in almost any line of activity,
from participating in a Wild West

"Devil'. Slide Will Appear.
It is planned to make the Fair this
year a gigantic amusement center.
Many new attractions will make their
appearance. The bnorpneum snow
will prove one of the most amusing
Midway features. The Wild West
show with some real western "bad"
horses, and the "Cornfield Follies"
presenting afternoon and evening
performances, should draw huge
crowds. .

NOTED ENGINEER TO
LECTURE WEDNESDAY
John W. Gorby, Vice President
of National Transporta
tion Body Will Speak.
Students in all colleges are in
vited to the lecture on "The Trans
portation Problem and Its Solution"
to be given in Social Science audi
torium Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock by John W. Gorby, vice pres
ident of the National Transportation
Institute.
The transportation problem is one
which touches the interests of every
class in the United States, economics
professors say. The National Trans
portation Institute was organized in
1923 as a body which would conduct
non-partisan and impartial investiga
tions into every kind of transporta
tion and the relationship of trans
portation agencies to each other and
to the various phases of our eco
nomic life. .Its research bureau, di
rected by Dr. David Friday, has
published several important studies
of freight rates and similar problems.
Mr. Gorby will tell of some of the
results of investigations which have
been conducted by a staff of experts.
He is on a speaking tour of the coun
try and has recently spoken at Dart
mouth, Princeton and other institutions.
Penalty Threatens Lazy Farmers
All Ags are to work the day be
fore the fair, during the fair, and
must clean up following the huge ac
tivities. In former years the large
horse tank which was placed in front
of Agricultural hall held terror for
those who did not care to put forth
efforts in a useful direction. Au
thorities of the University, who
thought this penalty a bit too bar
baric have placed a ban upon the
system.
This year roll call will be taken
when classes are excused for work.
Students who are absent from work
without excuse will be responsible
for class attendance.
The Dippy Dizzy Drum will again
be on the Midway with more thrills
and fascinations than ever, helping
