Farmers9 Fair success
With all the pomp and color of state wide festivities,
future Nebraska farmers staged their twenty-third an
nual fair at the ag campus yesterday. In recognition of
the extensive program planned and the good work of the
student Farmers Fair board, today's paper was edited at
the scene of the fair activities. Tho the transfer of the
DAILY offices to the third floor of ag hall facilitated the
writing and editing of the Fair news, it serves every year
to bring the fact to our attention that these two campuses
tho completely separate and tho their interests are di
vergent, are really a unit, and the official newspaper of
the one is the official newspaper of both.
The publicat'on of a paper of this sort is altogether
fitting. For the news of farm exhibits, of rodeos and of
horse shows impresses those on both campuses that Ne
braska, after all, is an agricultural state. It is too easy
to become involved during the year in theoretical studies
of economics, of history and of philosophy and to forget
the practical aspects of our native industry.
Nebraska is a farm state. Agriculture is our great
est industry and the prop for all other lines of work. The
agricultural campus and experiment stations are the
foundation of this university and of the other studies that
QomimmL
take so much of our time. Thus Jhe annual activities
commemorating the ag traditions and farm recreations
should cement the campuses closer together and bring
this student body back to a consciousness of its farm
backgrounds.
Tho rain canceled many of the Fair activities, that
rain ws to the guests and to us the greatest of all
activities. For in thinking in terms of the farm, that
rain insures the crops, and supports not only the farmer
directly, but this state and this university thru the in
direct method, taxation and wealth. Rain or shine, there
fore, the Fair was a success and an all university news
paper devoted itself to news wherever it was in propor
tion to its value.
Commentorials
. . . from our readers
Dear Editor:
Why is it that one sees 30 players monopolizing 15
university tennis courts while many others wait impa-
(BjuUsdhv
tiently on the sidelines for the opportunity to play
finally, after an hour's useless vigil, return home without
having played? j
It seems to us that university equipment which is free
and limited in quantity should be utilized to its fullest
capacity. For many years players on municipal courts in
most cities have been required to play doubles if there
were others desiring the use of the courts. We believe
that this requirement should be applied to our courts so
that more of those wishing to play can do bo in their
limited amount of free time that is suitable for tennis.
This regulation would not necessitate the combination
of good and poor players if they did not sc desire be
cause it is usually possible to find on the courts someone
with skill equal to one's own, be it great or little. Is it
asking too much that students substitute doubles for the
faster singles game and relinquish a measure of privacy
in order that all may avail themselves of their oppor
tunity to use the university tennis courts?
Yours truly,
Riley and Roberson.

And the rains came like from
ft hydrant it fell from the heavens
to cover the Farmers' Fair with
one big splash. Drips turned to
dribbles and dribbles into drops as
they chased each other merrily in
mad little rivers across the malls
between buildings that housed the
exhibits for the biggest event on
ag campus.
Well, first we went to the
parade. It was quite a successful
affair it hadn't rained yet Like
all parades there were trucks
about health, cars about industry,
trailers about youth, but most in
teresting of all were the horses.
They were very nice horses, big,
small, in between, brown and red,
but dammit "they ain't got no
tails" to speak of.
Now, there are several reasons
why these ag boys could braid
those nags' brushes into rat nests
that were so popular a few
decades ago as a female's hair-do.
The most obvious reason is to
make the tails shorter. Another
could be to keep them out of the
wet but it hadn't rained yet. Of
course, maybe the horses were
ashamed of them, but they
shouldn't carry the point to im
modesty. After the parade.
After the parade the staff went
to lunch which was the turning
point for the whele af-Fair. With
the first morsel of Vitamin G'd
food (plug) it started, no, it was
already going full speed when It
started. In fact, it didn't have a
beginning, it just came and they
don't do things half way on ag
campus. "The whole hog or none," '
all ends well
is their motto. They didn't get any
hog, but it started raining "cats
and dogs."
Just about the time it got so
wet that the Fair Board had to
call outdoor activities off it
stopped raining. Smiles that had
melted off with the rain, returned
to the faces of ag students. They
concentrated on the indoor activi
ties and this Farmers Fair was
still one of the best held on ag
campus.
Coordination of all barb organi
zations will be discussed at a joint
meeting of Barb Union and Inter
house Council in the barb office at
7 p. m. Tuesday. Blaine Sloan,
Union president, requests that all
