We feel that tho offlccrs of the fair Hj association aro entitled to much cred- HJ ; It for tho very Interesting ond In- Hj 1 Jtrjictlvo threo days gathering. Not f !onIy wore fno various oxhlblts good I and tho races and other sports excellent, ex-cellent, but the meeting of old friends gave a fine opportunity to renew old 'acquaintances nnd form now ones. j .The Ideal weather was nlso conduclvo to the. success of tho Cache county H ( I HJ j J Whllo tho races wore fine, would HJ ' ' it not bo well next year to have the HJ if ' races exclusive for Cacho Valley HJ ( horses, even If tho speed of tho hors- HJ I ' es would not bo so fast Tho Interest H In tho work of our own horses would HJ be greater and It would give encour-j Hi". ngement to our homo horse breeders HJ I and create enthusiasm among tho HJ , horso men of our county nnd tho HJ I money won In the contests would bo HJ ' retained hero Instead of going to out- HJ slders.

Hh Please romembcr wo nro not offer- H Ing any criticism on what has been, HI J dono up to date, but merely suggest- Ing that It might bo well to try a .change j In' tho futuro In regard to horso , racing. Tho Idea Is not original origi-nal with tho writer, but ho overheard many remarks by horso fanciers that It would bo well to have a different arrangement in tho futuro. Tho copious rain wo nro having Is doing much Good to tho farmer who has planted or Is going to Plant fall grain, nnd also to tho sugar beet crop, but Is rather bad on thoso who have their third crop of nlfalfa cut In tho field, but wo miiBt not expect to hnvo overy condition Just to our ndvontago and liking.
