UTAH STATE FAIR Among the firmly establi shed institutions of this sta t e of which its citizens should be proud -and t o which their unselfi sh suppor t is due--is t h e Utah State Fair. Few Utah people, p erhaps, realize that the Utah St2.te Fair is one of the oldest state exposit ions in the w estern United States. It was founded in 1856, only nine years after the pionee rs entered Salt Lake va lley. Only one other state claims a longer state fair record than Utah- California, in which state, it is said, the fairs have been held since 1852. It was the old Deser et Agricu ltural and Manuf acturin g society that founde d Utah's f a ir. The society, in turn, was founde d by territo ria l legislative act the preced ing winter. This venera ble organi zation continu ed in existen ce until 1907, when the presen t Utah State Fair associa tion was created . Not only did the Desere t Agricu ltural and Manuf acturin g society promote the state fairs, but continued a year-'r ound a ctivity In b ehalf of agriculture , horticu lture and stockra ising in this new countr y. It establi shed, among other things, the fi r st agricul tural experim ent farm w est of the Mlssisi ppi. The locatio n Is that r ecently chosen for the new Salt Lake zoo, at the entranc e of Emigra tion canyon. It was called "Deser et Gardens," and many presen t staple crops of Utah can trace their local ancest ry back to seed plots in this small area. From a single room filled with the meage r produc ts of pionee r farms and · homes, with prize livesto ck tethere d to hitchin g posts, the Utah State Fair has grown to be one of the exposit ions in outstan ding state Americ a. Its livesto ck exhibit s, in particu lar, feature entries from f ar and wide, for the Utah awards are eagerly sought by stock breede rs and fancier s the countr y over. The Utah State Fair continu es to progre ss. It is distinc tly a state show, as oppose d to a metrop olitan attract ion to which people of rural distric ts are invited . It is largely to the p eople of the state out s id e Salt Lake City that the fair associa tion looks for the suppor t that a ssu res continu ed success . On behalf of this venerable and worthy state enterp rise, this n ewspaper bespea ks the support of its readers . "There 's a lot of pagan supcnst ition about many of the weathe r sig-ns that people like to believe In," Raid a weather forecas ter recently . "ThNe are a s core of rural sayin~s. espC'cinlly wll('n winter is com ing on, as to how se,·ere it will he. The ground hog is credite d with miracu lous vision. Such ltleas go back for centuri es. "Lots of people b~lieve that the po· sltion of the new moon Is a sure fore· t ell er of weathet ·. The saying If! that if th e new moun stands upright , the thin crescen t in a vertica l position . the weathe r will he dry for the greater pa rt of the coming month. On the other hand, if the new moon re('lines on Its back, In the Fhape of ::1 shallow cup, that means a month of rainy weat her. "All tloe pioneer s In this country firmly belieYed that, and out in the country district s you will find many people today who are equally credulous. Unfortu nately, the idea has no basis In fact.
