Show Agricultural Phase Of County Fair Has Best Support i The agricultural division at the j Duchesne County Fair in 1954 had the largest participation of any for this county. This is pointed point-ed out in the annual narrative report of Robert S. Murdock, county agent. Exhibit included dairy, beef, sheep, swine, poultry, rabbits, fruits, vegetables, and field crops. A new addition to the fair this year in the 4-H division was that of a junior auction in which 19 head of animals were sold with an average of 50 a pound above market prices. Two new educational displays were initiated for the 1954 county coun-ty fair. One was a booth showing the noxious weeds prevalent throughout the county. The mounts were rigged up to an electrical elec-trical board and a notation informed in-formed the fair visitors "Guess the Weed and Ring the Bell." The county weed supervisor was in charge of this display board. The other board was a Soils Board showing the different types of soil. Soil demonstrations were conducted, and other information was given pertaining to the use and maintenance of soils. The two boards were recommended recom-mended by the county agent and accepted by the fair board for the 1954 activity. |
