TO IMPROVE COUNTY FAIRS.

The West Central Minnesota Development Association is working, on a new Idea for the improvement of county fairs. This improvement is to be brought about by linking these faira with the general work of the association so that the quantity and quality of exhibits can be Improved. It is also proposed to hold these county fairs to ‘a. yearly sequence or circuit just as the state fairs are handled. If this can be done outside attractions can go from fair to fair by a continuous routing, and to that way the expense to tiie fair will be practically cut to two. It to suggested that an educational exhibit from the State Agricultural College shall be sent to each fair. If this is done, especially in combination with an exhibition ftpm the county association itself there is n» doubt but that the plan will be a won* derful improvement over the old sys<toL . c *- .
