I President of the indiana Form Bureau Federation a Great Be--1 liever in the State Fair

1 ' JOM

W. H SETTLE W. H Settle, president of the Indiana State Farm Bureau Federation, | has always been a practical and progressive Indiana farmer and stockman and a strong advocate of the Indiana State Fair. Mr. Settle states: “I am always glad to say a word in favor of the Indiana Mate Fair, which has become one of the most noteworthy Institutions of its kind in the country. The State Fair offers not only to farmers, but to city dwellers as well, a rare opportunity to ! check up on the progress during the last year of the state’s part in the nation's basic industry, and at a time when the affairs of agriculture are more prominently before the people of the country than, perhaps, ever before, it 13 both likely aud fitting that urban residents will give more attention to the State Fair this year than in previous years “Os course, primarily as an agricultural institution, the State Fair offers Its greatest appeal to the state's farmers, farmers’ wives and farmers’ children, and that is as it should be. The announcements of the Fair Board Indicate that more than ever this year will the various interests of the farm family be taken care of in the big exhibit at Indianapolis. The occasion gi’--s« to the farmer his most important business trip of the year, as tar as production and production meth I ods are concerned. Year by year | the machinery of production is - improved, and I know of no place j where the new types and new ideas can better be brought together than at the State Fair. New achievements in livestock breeding; new conveniences for the farm home designed to lighten the burden of the farm wife; club camps for farm boys and girls; all these and many more items of interest provide for the farmer and his I family an opportunity to study the I progress of his own business and at the same time afford the farmer and his family a most enjoyable outing. "No fanner should neglect his Stato Fair. To broaden his view point, to garner new ideas and to rub elbows with his neighbors—these indeed make tbis great institution well worth while.” Governor Is One of the Most Enthusiastic Members of the

' ing statement: "While agriculture has its problems which are demand. Ing very serious attention and coneid. eration of political and industrial lead, ers, yet regardless of their adjust, ments each year a host of faithful and devoted farmers produce in Indiana a marvelous return from the soil. Ths Indiana State Fair has each year mads striking proof of ‘he constant progress in our agricultural activities. It hat always been a potent factor in creat Ing inspiration for higher ideals In agriculture. The allied industries have recognized this fact and in conse. quence have joined in making it die one great show of the year This in. stitution is supported by the state and conducted in the interest of all, and those in charge of its management are ever zealous that it should represent the state as a whole and not any par. ticular section.” j
