Show STATE FAIR OPENS NEXT SATURDAY; EXHIBIT SPACE AT A PREMIUM One week from next Saturday, the Utah State Fair will open its gates for ther fifty-third annual session. This great annual western show of agriculture, stock raising, industry, education and the fine arts has be come, through its long career as a recorder re-corder of intermountain progress, one of the outstanding State fairs of the far western country. This year, broad and comprehensive comprehen-sive plans for exhibits in all departments depart-ments will make it even more representative repre-sentative of western progress than ever before. Leading in interest, perhaps, for a majority of visitors from stock raising rais-ing centers, will be the western regional re-gional show of the American Jersey Cattle Club the national organization organiza-tion with a membership representative representa-tive of the leading breeders and dairymen throughout the country- By designating the Utah State fair as the western regional show, the club assures for Utah an exhibition of prize Jersey cattle from the most famous fa-mous herds of the Pacific Coast, the northwest and southwestern states as well as the intermountain country. From entries and reservations received re-ceived during the past week by Manager Man-ager S. Holmes, it is evident that exhibition ex-hibition space even with the added accomodations of the new stock exhibition exhi-bition barns will be at a premium. This moves Mr. Holmes to again urge early entries on the part of prospective prospec-tive Utah exhibitors, in order that all exhibits may be properly cared for. During the week, the list of judges in the livestock departments was announced an-nounced by the State Fair board, as follows: Beef Cattle Raymond S. Husted, Denver. Dairy Cattle Holstein-Friesan and Ayrshire?, F. W. Atkeson, University of Idaho, Moscow; Jerseys and Guernseys, Hugh G. Van Pelt, Waterloo, Water-loo, Iowa. Swine R. B.

Wilson, Wil-son, Agricultural Experiment station, Farmington; fruit, F. M. Cook, U. S. A. C, Logan. The horse show, to be held the last two nights of the fair in the Coliseum, Col-iseum, will be one of the outstanding I attractions of the fair, according to Mr. Holmes. Entries of blooded animals ani-mals have been received from many points in Utah and Idaho, representing represent-ing U. S. army, National guard, Army remount and privately owned horses, as well as the famous polo ponies. The entertainment features of the fair will be headlined by the celebrated celebrat-ed "Captain Dobbsie," the radio star, who will appear in person, supported by his company of 16, five afternoons and nights. These appearances will be exclusively an entertainment feature, fea-ture, since Captain Dobbsie will not use a microphone at the fair and will not mention an advertised product; His usual daily broadcasts will be made privately over KSL in the mornings during his stay in Salt Lake. At the 1931 Utah State fair there will be many things of interest and value to every visitor young and old. As usual, the opening days coincide coin-cide with those of the semi-anrrual conference of the L. D. S. Church. Make your plans now to be there. j |
