' Issued P.vcry Tlmrsdny Morning FARM MACHINERY DISPLAY AT THE INTERSTATE FAIR The farm machinery exhibit at tho Interstate Fair, Sioux City, September 18 to 24, will represent one of tho big gest industries In the world, according to statistics Issued today by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture. The total value of Implements made In the United States tho past year was $537,000,000, according to figures ob tained from all manufacturers in tho country. Gas tractors numbering 203, 000, more than 1,000,000 plows, 225, farm wagons, 100,000 haying machines, and fully a9 many machines of every kind commonly used on the farm, were made and distributed. Tho output of 19S1-22 will be even greater than that of the preceding year, according to estimates of pro duction Included by manufacturers with their reports of output for ths year 1920. Tills greater production of machin ery is compelling every firm to adopt a vigilant sales policy, and Is re sponsible entirely for the greater In terest which is being taken in the ma chinery show this year. The many thousands of prospective purchasers of machinery at the fair will be con fronted with a bewildering assortment of new models and types of machines, muny of which have never been seen In America before. We confidently ex pect the biggest machinery show of tho kind ever held In this part ot the country. For those visitors to the fair who are looking for something thrilling, the auto races promise to be replete with hair-raising sturits. The leading circular dirt track pilots are entered In the local races. Among the world famous stars who will compete are Fred Horey, Johnnyjtalney, Louis Dls brow and Sig Haughdahl. ,r INTERSTATE FAIR OFFERS ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC ALONG WITH LIVE STOCK AND OTHER EXHIBITS "Gee, wouldn't I like to "snare" that drum, or play that "slide" trombone?"
