Announcing the farm bureau's desire to sponsor the annual fair this year after it had been discontinued dis-continued for the past two years, ' E. E. Hendricks of Lewiston, . president, and Allen Olsen, of Young, secretary, told commissioners commis-sioners that the bureau hopes to stage a fair "bigger and better than any presented in the prewar pre-war years." Commissioners agreed to cooperate cooper-ate with the bureau in any way possible in staging the event, pointing out that the 1944 county budget now provides for resuming resum-ing the fair. The farm bureau representa. tives said the fair will include all normal crop and livestock exhibits, ex-hibits, and probably a horse show t and horse-pulling contests.
