(Other Photos, Page 15)

About 10,000 Hoosiers jammed through the gates before noon today as the 87th annual Indiana State Fair opened for an eight-day stand. The buildings valued at almost $2,000,000 ready for opening and countless new and old exhibits offered, Fair officials believed that at-

tendance for the opening day would reach a record of 20,000 to 25,000. They expressed confidence that the total attendance mark will reach an all-time record of 425,000 to 450,000. Youth Rules Program Hoosier youths, whose increased activity in 4-H Club work made

necessary the extending of the Fair an extra day, ruled the opening pro-

gram and will be paid tribute again |

tomorrow. Fair officials estimated that about

95,000 children were on the grounds, |

HARLES HOEFLING, Washington, Ind. is believed to be the youngest cattle exhibitor. The 11-year-old enthusiast, weighing 176 pounds, has entered two Herefords, Buck and Bill, weighing 1240 and 1210 pounds respectively. Charles, whose father died only two months ago, had a trucker haul his two entries to the Fair Grounds, but is personally handling them here, He is a member of the Daviess County Calf Club. He said he'd sell Buck and Bill after the Fair, and ‘buy some more cattle with the money, I guess.” ” » 8 Thirty-Eighth St. as usual, will be the busiest in Indianapolis during Fair days. The traffic flow began early today and police were on hand to direct the anticipated endless stream. ” ” u

State Fair gatekeepers suffered their annual headache today, trying to memorize the wide variety of passes issued to concessionaires, employees, exhibitors and others. William Palmer (left), Whiteland, and Melville Watson, Greenfield, find the samples of the 13 different types of passes and two types of badges confusing.

Samuel Smith, one of the cattle exhibitors at the Fair, displays. something a little different from the usual fair exhibit. thinks it is the tooth of a mastodon. He found it recently while he and two companions were on a squirrel hunting trip near Paragon. Now it’s his prize possession, next to his cattle.

10 Months Taken in Training Johnson County 4-H Entries, and Maybe It'll Lead to Business School Here.

By JAMES THRASHER 1; was with mixed emotions that Grace and Caroline Stine arose soon after dawn this morning and drove from their father's Johnson County farm to the State Fair Grounds. The judging in the 4-H beef calf show was due soon after 8 o'clock, and their six entries had to have some last primping touches. They hope their sleek young steers will win; it means blue ribbons and money. Yet, somehow, they would rather not think of the animals being auctioned off

and sent to the slaughter house. For the six calves that started out as a 4-H project have come to be family pets. Grace, who is 19. named her calves Bright Eyes, Topper and Pal. Caroline, 1%, calls hers Flash, Resource and Jerry. Each girl has fed and trained and watched them for almost 10 months. And now that the great day is at hand they almost wonder if they want to win, » ” ” T was all going to be strictly business when, last Nov. 16, the

calves arrived at the Stine farm |

from the Circle-Dot Ranch in Texas. They were installed in a pen and put on a diet of shelled

corn, alfalfa hay and a special | fattening feed. Then Grace and |

Caroline really began learning

about the care and feeding of |

Herefords. The girls did all themselves, because their father has a 150-acre farm to take care of, and there are no brothers to help them with the chores,

Farmer Stine has four daughters |

—the others are Virginia, who is 21, and Ann Louise, 3—and that means that the young ladies

| have learned farming of neces-

sity. This was Caroline’s first experience at calf raising, though she has had 4-H projécts in clothing, canning, baking and food preparation in the past five years, Grace has had eight years in 4-H work. She had projects for six years in clothing, five years in canning, two in room improvement and this is her second experience in calf raising. She won two blue ribbons and one second prize with her State Fair entries at the Franklin ¢-H Fair earlier this month. » ” =

FTER seven months of eating, sleeping and being generally fractious, the calves had to be broken. The girls had some help in lassoing them, but they put on the halters themselves, tied a hay rope to the halter and led them around the barnyard. After that they were put in the dairy stanchions. It took about 15 trips with a halter and rope before the calves became amenable, but the training had to be done. For even though their destination is the butcher shop, the judges sist that the creatures be gentle in order to win first prizes. Once they were broken, the calves had to be taught to stand with their back feet together. This was accomplished with the help of a stick and much patience. And then came Fair time, and with it the necessity of making the potential prize winners as beautiful as possible. So yesterday all six of them got baths. Their horns shone after scrapings with glass and sandpaper, and a coat of furniture polish. Their hoofs were trimmed and cleaned with a wire brush. = » ” HIS morning Grace and Caroline gave them another marcel, washed and brushed their faces and ran a comb through their tails. And there they stood, fat and handsome. They weighed on an average of 950 each, representing a daily gain of two and two-tenths pounds for their stay on the Stine farm.
