A REVIEW OF THE SEVERAL COUNTY AND

all the counties of the state might profitably participate. Union county, situated seventy miles east of Indianapolis, and bordering upon the boundary line between Indiana and Ohio, is one of the smaller counties of the state, having an area of only 168 square miles and a population in 1900 of 6,748. Union county is favorably conditioned for agriculture and horticulture, being well watered and having a generous soil, wbtcb responds satisfactorily when intelligently cultivated. In 1900 Union county had 49.206 acres devotee, to the cereal crops—wheat, corn, oats and rye—of which it produced, omitting wheat, 1,411,652 bushels. It produced 30,490 tons of timothy and clover hay and 11.303 bushels of Irish potatoes, and had on hand 24,450 head of live stock. The officers of the Union County Fair association are: President—James M. Eaton. Vice-President —Walter Abernathy. Secretary—Milton Maxwell. Treasurer—B. M. Lefrege. The society begins operations under favorable auspices, and its first fair, to be held Sept. 3 to 5, promises to meet the sanguine expectations of the society. Henry County Agricultural Association. In 1900 Henry county produced of the three cereal crops, corn, oats and rye. 8,233,294 bushels, the wheat crop being for that year a failure. The county also produced 46,719 tons of timothy and clover hay and 44.540 bushels of Irish potatoes, and the farmers had on hand 57,338 head es live stock. The county, which is situated forty miles cast of Indianapolis, has an area of 400 square miles. It Is well watered and justly boasts of the great fertility of its soil, and field and farm and -orchard yield a bountiful return tor the labor bestowed In their cultivation. Henry county in 1900 had a population of 25.088. showing an Increase in ten years of 1.218, and the total value of the property of the county increased between 1890 and 1900. 33,270.840. The Henry County Agricultural society was organized April 20. 1895, with Charles S. Hernly. president; Robert H. Cooper, vice-pres-ident; A. D. Ogborn, treasurer, and W. I„. Risk, secretary. The society entered the arena to compete for distinction late as compared with many other similar associations in the state, but it has been progressive from the start and has made a good record. The present officers are: Dr. R. A. Smith, president; R. H. Cooper, vicepresident; H. L. Risk, secretary, and Eli W. Frazier, treasurer. The Henry county association has held its fairs annually since its organization, which have grown steadily in public favor, the annual premiums paid ranging from $2,500 to $3,000. which speaks eloquently for the association as also for the agricultural interests of the county; the attendance annually ranging from 16.000 to 18,000. which in a county having a population cf 25.088 is all that could be expected. The association has well arranged fair grounds, thoroughly equipped. the value of which is conservately estimated at $12.000. The buildings are all new and covered with steel roofing and are admirablj' arranged for business in a grove of shade trees, and every fall Carolina poplar trees are set out. the purpose being to make the grove an 'Attractive park. The fair grounds have a half mile speed track, one of the best in the state, and the grand stand Is so situated that the occupants can see evert- sten the horses take from start to finish. Henry county Is Justly renowned for its agricultural faits, and fruit fairs were held in New Castle as early as 1810. Thfr'-Gibson County Agricultural ' Society. The officers of the Gibson County Agricultural society take special pride in their society, which, as the records show, is eminently proper, as it has enjoyed a large measure of success. It was organized In 1852. and except in 1562-C3. when no fairs were held, has realized every expectation. The society started out under favorable auspices, having for its first officers Judge James T. Enbree, president; Dr. W. W. Biair, still living and practicing medicine, secretary, and John Hargrove, father of the present president of the society, treasurer. It will be gratifying to members of agricultural societies throughout the state to learn that here and there a veteran like Dr. Blair still lingers above the sod. The present officers of the society are: S. H. Hargrove, president; Lon Wheeler, vice-presi-dent; William T. Hopkins, secretary, and Robept Woreles, treasurer. Gibson county lies in the southwestern portion’ of the state. 150 miles from Indianapolis. It has an area of 472 square miles, which include some of the best farming land in the state and are nowhere excelled throughout the entire country—a fact which is verified by statistics of production. In 1900 the cereal crop, wheat, corn, outs and rye, amounted to 2.099,761 bushels, 24,211 bushels of Irish potatoes and 43.171 tons of timothy and clover hay, with live stock amounting to 46,836 head. The total value of property in the county Increased frmo 1890 to 1900 $4,685,200. The society has held fairs every year except 1862-63 since its' organization and has paid premiums aggregating approximately $490,000. No record 4s available showing annual attendance of the fairs—the expression, “immense crowds,” which, being rationally interpreted, means anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000. The fair grounds and buildings of GlbsOn county are estimated at $20,000. The Gibson county fair never made a failure in all of its history, but has always paid the premiums awarded in full. As a result, it has the moral and active support of all the best citizens of the county and draws largely from all surrounding counties, and fair week is looked forward to with great

Interest by the people, as they anticipate seeing on exhibition the best specimens of crops, the latest improvements in machinery and the best stock of the herds of Gibson and surrounding counties. This being true, the people go to their homes with a better knowledge of the resources of the county and of the state. The Gibson county fair is a county fair only in name. The majority of the district fairs and many state fairs do not equal it in number, quality and value of exhibits or in point of attendance. The fair grounds have a splendid half-mile track and liberal purses are paid for speed entries. The first Gibson county fair was held In the court house yard and stock sheds were erected around the square. Miss Sofrona B. Snow and Miss Bramlee were the only ladies who had an exhibit at that fair, and they are still living and have had exhibits every year since. Robert Mitchell Is a director In the Gibson county fair and has been on the board for a number of years. No gambling, liquor selling. Immoral shows, spindles, etc., are allowed on or near the fair ground. The society caters to the best citizens of the communities and the success of its fairs shows the wisdom of Its policy. Rush County Fair Association. Rush county, forty miles southeast of Indianapolis, and having an area of 414 square miles, is notably one of the banner agricultural counties of the state. It Is a well watered county with a rich soil and everywhere shows Intelligent cultivation. and It would require no little time to discover a better class of farm residences and barns than may be claimed by the farmers of Rush county. In 1900 the county had a population of 20,148, showing a slight gain over 1890. In 1900 the farmers of Rush county produced 3,604,530 busuexs of corn, oats and rye—wheat being a failure; 43.907 tons of timothy and clover hay, and 37,950 bushels of Irish potatoes. And there were 69,532 head of live stock in the county, and the value of property increased from 1890 to 1900 $3,444,200, Indicative of the general prosperity of the people, which is still further shown by the history of the Rush County Fair association, which was organized as a joint stock company In IK6, with John Major, president; Stephen Donaldson, secretary; Daniel Wilson, superintendent. and Thqmas Mitchell, marshal. Previous to 1852 two fairs had been held, but since that date the present organization has occupied the field. The receipts of the first fair were $2,201.10, which has steadily Increased since that date. The premiums were paid in full at the first fair, which has been done every year since. The present officers of the association are Edward Crosby, president; W. A. Alexander, vice-president; John L. Thomas. secretary, and A. B. Hinchman, treasurer. The association has held an annual fair every year since Its organization, during which time over $300,000 has been paid to exhibitors, and more than a million people have attended the fair. The grounds and Improvements are valued at $20,000, and are In no way incumbered. The fair grounds are located one mile east of the city of Rushville, and are admirably adapted for fair purposes, not being excelled In the state. On the south side the two hills form a natural amphitheater, from the verdant sides of which the stock In the show ring between can be seen. The north side is level, and on this the half-mile track is locate**, which, being overlooked by the higher gronwis, affords the thousands of spectators an opportunity- to witness the trials of speed. The grounds are supplied with delightful shade, pure water and an abundance of shelter, and are of easy access by train and carriage, and in addition, an electrio line Is surveyed to reach the south side of the grounds. The fairs conducted by the association have long since become noted because of the liberal premiums offered and always paid without scaling; as also for their social features. These fairs have become veritable picnics of the people, where they annually gather from every section of the state, and from many states of the union to enjoy social reunion. The society prohibits gambling and the sale of Intoxicating liquors on the grounds, a regulation which has been promotive of the good order which has always characterized the fairs. The association has rebuilt and widened the speed track and larger purses and premiums will be distinguishing features of the fair for 1902, which promises to be one of the most successful the association has ever held. Terre Haute Trotting and Fair Association. Vigo county is in several regards one of tho representative counties of Indiana It has an area of 400 square miles, and in 1900 had a population of 62,035, a gain in ten years of 11,840, and ranks among the prosperous agricultural counties of the state, having produced in 1900 2,163,325 bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye. It also produced 19,858 tons of timothy and clover hay, 53,692 bushels of Irish potatoes and had to its credit 38,783 head of live stock. The county is on the western border of the state, adjoining Illinois, seventy miles west of Indianapolis, and its capital city, Terre Haute, ranks among the most populous, progressive and thrifty cities of the state, and the county, aside from its rich soil and large agricultural products, has in numerous localities rich veins of coal. The Terre Haute Trotting and Fair association was organized in 1858, and its officers were Cory W. Barber, president; M. M. Hickox, vice-president, and Joseph Gilbert, secretary. Its present officers are: W. P. Ijams. president; Dean McLaughlin. vice-president: Frank McKeen, treasurer. and Charles B. Duffin, secretary. The association in its eary history was justly renowned for its fairs, which were held annually from the date of its organization up to four years ago, when

they were discontinued. During the period in which fairs were regularly held, a conservative estimate places the amount of premiums awarded exhibitors at $250,000 and the average annual attendance of visitors at 20,000. The fair grounds and buildings are pow valued at $120,000, and are admirably located directly east of the city of Terre Haute. The association has one of the best race tracks in the state on which numerous celebrated animals have won money and distinction, notably AxteL whose record gave him a value of SIIO,OOO. The association will resume its fairs this year. 1902, beginning Aug. 11, and the indications favor the conclusion that the occasion will be equal, if not more notable, than any previous fair in the long and brilliant history of the association. Bartholomew County Agricultural Association. There are numerous reasons why Bartholomew county should have and maintain an agricifltural society of commanding Influence upon the surrounding counties. It ranks among the largest in the state, having 467 square miles of land, which is pronounced exceptionally favorable for the production of staple crops, having produced in 1900 2,581,492 bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye, of which 170,000 bushels were wheat It also produces 30.302 tons of timothy and clover hay. and 54,029 bushels of Irish potatoes and the uve stock on hand in 1900 numbered 44,280 head. The population of Bartholomew county in 1900 was 24.594, a gain in ten years of 727, which, though not large, indicates that the people are satisfied with the climate, soil and productiveness of their county, which is prosperous, the value of property in the county from 1890 to 1900 having increased $6,252,779. The Bartholomew Agricultural association was organized in 1897, five years ago, and its officers were: President—D. W. Heagy. Vice-President—N. B. Reeve*. Secretary—Ed Redman. Treasurer—F. M. Cramp. The association has held fairs annually, except in 1898, and the amount of premiums paid has ranged from $2,000 to $3,200. An average of $2,600 each year and the attendance has ranged from 6,000 to 10,000. The fair grounds of the association, with the buildings, are valued at $12,000, and the fair for 1902 will be held Sept. 9 to 12. The present officers of the association are: President—F. T. Crump. Vice-President—Ben C. Thomas. Secretary—Ed Redman. M. Williams. The outlook Is favorable for a successful fair—one of the best, if not the most successful, the association has ever held. Fairmount Union Joint Stock Agricultural Association. This association of Grant county, Indiana, was organized Oct. 15, 1883, and has held fairs annually from that date to 1902, and this year the fair will be held at Fairmount Aug. 11 to 15 inclusive. Grant is one of the large land counties of the state and is In all regards favorably conditioned for agriculture, being well watered and having a generous soli. General farming Is a capital producing business. This may be inferred from the fact that in 1890 the county produced 3.268.2 U bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye and 44,657 tons of timothv and clover hay. together with 56.481 bushels of Irish potatoes. Beside, the farmers of Grant county had on hand In 1890, 75,759 head of" live stock, a remarkably satisfactory basis for agricultural prosperity. Tn addition under the soli of Grant county the Almighty stated away tn Trenton rock still another source of boundless wealth in the shape of natural gas. The farmers of Grant county are to be felicitated upon their good fortune. In 1890 Grant county had a population of 54.693. a gain in ten years of 23,200. Such a county ought to have an agricultural association, of which the entire state would feel proud. Beside statistics show that the value of property In Grant county Increased from 1890 to 1900. $12,385,045. But It so happens that the honorable secretary of the “Fairmount Union Joint Stock Agricultural association" is extremely short on data relating to the association, aside from the fact that fairs are held annually. Who the first officers of the association were. is not stated and as for premiums awarded by the association, “norecords have been kept,” and the same laconic reply is given as to the query about attendance at the fairs and as for the value of fair grounds and buildings, the Information Is “no estimate has been made.” Manifestly the Fairmount Union Joint Stock Agricultural association does not propose to give away Its business for the gratification of outsiders. But the secretary goes so far In taking the public Into his confidence as to say: "Our fair has been getting better for the past five years and this year promises to be better than ever." The present officers of the association are T. J. Brockshire, president; George A. Fletcher, secretary; Joseph Pool, treasurer, and L. Brookshire, marshal. It may be that the association has paid out since 1883 as much as $5,000 in premiums, or a total of $95,000, and perhaps the attendance at its fairs may have averaged 20.000; and it is possible that the value of fair grounds and buildings are SIOO,OOO. But where no records are kept and no estimate made, the officials r ay be said to have an abundance of leisure and pleasure. ,vShelby .County Agricultural Association. Thirty years ago the farmers and business men of Shelby county organized an agricultural association and elected the following board of officers: President—Hiram B. Cole. Vice-President—John Blessing. Secretary—Charles F. Webster. Treasurer —Reuben W. Wiler. And the present officers of the association are: President—B. F. Swain. Vice-President—S. P. Stroup. Secretary—C. E. Amsden. Treasurer —Dr. L. Wilson. Shelby, from an agricultural point of view, is one of the most favored counties in the state. Numerous streams afford as abundance of water and the soli yields a generous return to the cultivator. The county 1b centrally located, adjoining Marion on its northern boundary and enjoys large railroad facilities. In 1900 Shelby county produced 8,640,108 bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye, 40,044 tons of timothy and clover hay. 29,700 bushels of Irish potatoes, and had on hand 42.489 head of live stock. Shelby county was settled by a hardy class of people, renowned for intelligence and thrift and in 1900 had a population of 26,491, showing a slight gain over the census of 1890, and the value of its property increased in ten years from 1890 to 1900 $5,765,030. The Shelby County Agricultural society has held annual fairs, the first having been held in 1874, two years after its organization. and during the period has paid in premiums $211,350. No higher. testimony is required to demonstrate that agricul-' ture in Shelby county has the support of the entire population, and this is shown from the fact that the fairs are attended by 40,000 to 50,000 annually. The fair grounds and buildings have an estimated value of SIO,OOO. The fairs of Shelby county have always been successful and a failure was never recorded, owing to the fact, in a large measure, that the people are all interested in them and take an honest pride in all matters relating to their interests, and the officers of the association have labored faithfully to achieve the high standing the popular

verdict awards the Shelby county fairs. There is no blemish on the fair escutcheon of old Shelby. Randolph County Fair Association. If there is a county in Indiana in which a well organized and aggressive agricultural association could be regarded as a prime factor and force in building up agricultural Interests, Randolph county may be said to have special prominence in the list. It is a large county, having an area of 444 square miles, with rich and productive soil, well watered and having ample railroad facilities for the transportation of its products to market. It is a county possessed of a large wealth, the value of its property having increased from $11,708,820 in 1890 to $17,090,920 in 1900, a gain of $5,332,100. The population of the county in 1900 was 28,653, a gain of 560 In ten years. The agricultural products of the county In 1900 were 4,300.461 bushels of corn, oats, rye and barley, 27,593 tons of timothy and clover hay, 41,668 bushels of Irish potatoes, and the county had to its credit 47,426 head of live stock. It is not surprising, therefore, that as early as April, 1853, the Randolph County Agricultural society was organized with A. Stone president, David Lasby vicepresident, Uriah Ball treasurer and John Lasby secretary. The first fair of the association was held on a one-acre lot, now within the limits of the city of Winchester. The expenses amounted to S3O and the receipts to SIBO, leaving a net profit of $l5O. The association has been reorganized several times during the forty-nine years of its existence, and the society that now owns the fair grounds, sixty-two acres, valued at about $6,500, is known as the Union Fair association, although it has held no fairs since 1897. Tnis society has sub-let the fair ground to A. C. Green, who organized the Randolph County Fair association, which has held four fairs. The ’ annual premiums rango from $1,500 to $2,000 and the attendance ranges from 4,000 to 6.500. The enterprise is purely a private affair In which the agriculturists of Randolph county have no direct interest except as exhibitors. Jennings County Agricultural Association. In area, wealth, soil, agricultural products and general property Jennings county may be rated as fairly average, and capable of maintaining an Influential agricultural society, which it has done since 1880. The county has an area of 875 square miles, and In addition to other sources of wealth, has an excellent quality of building stone, which Is found in practically inexhaustible deposits. The county is well provided with railroad facilities and general prosperity prevails among Its farming population. In 1900 Jennings county produced 1.182,316 bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye. and 23.131 tons of timothy and clover hay. It also produced 25,308 bushels of Irish potatoes and had on hand 29,651 head of live stock. Such argicultural resources emphasizes the fact that an agricultural society Is a necessity not to be lightly estimated. The Jennings County Agricultural society. or North Vernon fair, was organized in 1800, and its first officers were: President—E. P. Hicks. Vice-President—l. B. Smith. Secretary—C. D. Shank. Treasurer—J. D. Cone. The present officers of the society are: President—A. A. Tripp. Vice-President—F. M. Vubrey. Secretary—Fred H. Nanlr. Treasurer—E. Hicks. The society has held annual fairs sines its organization, and the aggregate amount of premiums paid is $8,500; the aggregate attendance has been about 400,000 The value of ths fair grounds and building is estimated at $30,000. Jay County Agricultural Asaoclatlon. The Agricultural association of Jay county was organized in 1871, and was offered as follows: President—lsaa Underwood. Vice-President—C. H. Clark. Secretry—lra Denny. Treasurer—l. L. Banta. By this record it is seen that the farmers of Jay county thirty-one years ago decided to enter the list of progressive agricultural counties of the state. The county, by its area, 377 square miles, the productiveness of its soil and agricultural resuorces. was entitled to recognition as one of the prosperous counties of the state, and the farmers evidently believed that an agricultural society would add indefinitely to its prosperity and influences. A fair idea of the agricultural resources of Jay county is had by the statement that in 1900, the latest available statistical date, the county produced 3,314,704 bushels of corn, oats, rye and barley, 30,286 tons of timothy and clover hay, and 65,352 bushels of Irish potatoes, and at the same time had to its credit 61,027 head of live stock. In point of population Jay county has more than held its own. having in 1900 a population of 26,818, a gain of 3.340 In ten years, and the value of its property from 1890 to 1900 Increased $4,969,950. That is a good showing, conclusive that the farmers of 1871 did not overestimate the resources of their county. The present officers of the association are: President—John Schmuck. Vice-President —E. Lyons. Treasurer—W. M. Haynes. Secretary—James A. Graves. The association has held fairs every year since Its organization, and has paid In premiums and race purses $5,850—32,550 In purses and $3,330 in premiums—to exhibitors. All things considered, the Jay County Agricultural society has had a fairly prosperous career, and the program for Its fair In 1902 includes five days, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 inclusive. Bourbon, Marshall County, Fair As- * sociation. Manifestly, the Bourbon Fair association Is conducted on business rlnciples and has been a pronounced success from the beginning. The initial organization dates back to 1872. under the name of the Pioneer Farmers’ club, having for its president Harrison Sparrow and Washington Idcn secretary. The association had a modest birth, its first fair, in 1872, being held at a school house a short distance east of Bourbon, during the month of October. No entry fee was charged and no premiums paid, ribbons serving to designate the favorite animal or the best competing article. All the records of the fair are not available, but Washington Iden and Jeptha Dlsher and other promoters of the enterprise served in various capacities and William E. Gay was secretary for thirteen years. The fairs grew in popular favor and for want of room were moved from place to place. Still the cry was "more room” for the accommodation of the increasing attendance. As a result eight acres of land was bought and buildings erected and a small fee charged for admittance. Still the demand was for

A HOME CORE FOR CANCER.

Thousands of dollars have been spent and years of labor exerted, to discover the cause and perfect a cure for that terrible disease. Cancer. The cause Is only Interesting from a scientific standpoint, and from the fact that it might lead to discovery of a cure. The cure is a vital problem. Success has attended the efforts so far of but one concern, the Dr. D. M. Bye Co. These eminent specialists have perfected a Combination of Oils which have wonderful effects on diseased tissue, leaving unharmed the sound. The Oils are mild and safe, and can be used at home in most cases. Don’t trifle with life; write at once for free books giving particulars. Address Dr. D. M. Stye Cth. Drawer 300, Indianapolis Ind.

more room, and on Aug. 16, 1891, an association was formed under the laws of the state, known as the Bourbon Fair association, fclth a paid-up capital of $5,000. Thirty-five acres of suitable land was purchased and by Oct. 1, 1891, a fine half-mile speed track was completed and a grand stand, an art hall, a fruit house, with grain and vegetable sheds, stables, pens and fences were erected, involving a debt of $2,000, all of which has been paid and the association is still making permanent Improvements for the accommodation of Increasing exhibits. The first officers of the Bourbon Fair association were: J. W. Edison, president; Joseph Coar, vice-president; G. D. Ettinger, secretary, and James H. Matchett, treasurer. The present officers of the association are: Robert Irwin, president; Charles H. New, vice-president; Dr. L. Johnson, treasurer, and D. W. Parks, secretary, The association holds fairs annually and in 1901 premiums paid aggregated $1,500. A business feature of the association’s transactions is the publication of receipts and expenditures of Its fairs. For Instance, in 1901 the receipts were $3,821.71, expenses $3,033.20, leaving a balance to the credit of the fair of $788.61. That is business and In a large measure accounts for the success of the fairs every year they have been held, and it is said as a further explanation of the success of the fairs that “no Intoxicants are sold, no gambling allowed and no immoral show tolerated. We alm to please and entertain the best element of society, and the attendance of over ten thousand on Thursday last year—l9ol—proves that our policy is correct. A clean fair is our specialty.” Tippecanoe County Agricultural Association and Fair. The readers of the epitomized histories of the county agricultural associations of the state will doubtless regret the paucity of the data relating to the Tippecanoe County association, which was organized in 1852—one year subsequent to the organization of the state board of agriculture—a half century ago—a period In which the agricultural wealth of Indiana has Increased to 'fabulous sum totals. Of all the farmers who in 1852 believed in the advantages to be secured by an agricultural association we have the name of only one, Henry T. Sample, who was president of the association In 1852. Tippecanoe county, with perhaps the largest area of any county in the state, 504 square miles, with a soil of extraordinary productiveness, has been producing immense crops, and In 1900 produced 5,439.842 bushels of cereals, 27,780 tons of timothy and clover hay, 46,782 bushels of Irish potatoes and had on its farms 55,758 head of live stock—in the aggregate prot bly an average year for several decades, by no
