mmmm W-- ' ussv Thui*Uy, July 28.19&1 FARM >r w: h. This is fair week. We almost didn't get the little Job done of i writing to all our friends this week. We haven't missed since 1947, if my memory serves me right as to the starting date. * 0 The fair seems easier to prepare for this year but there still are many little jobs that must be done by someone. We get a lot of volunteer, helik but still those folks help for an hour or two or most of a day. It still falls to a Very few of us to work till the job is finished regardless of time day or night. A new stage and a new hog J»arn will greet fair-goers this ^lear. Humans are peculiar people, though. We no more than had the job done when talk was started about what we will build next . year. The talk is a woman's building, with one end, the dining hall, screened in with running water, floor and drains, and the other end, their auditorium, with stage and exhibit spaces ali around the edge. MIow does that sound girls? Boy,- you just «can't imagine how much more grown up the fair will seem this year. Th^ grandstand ghows will be strictly local talent in contests of all kinds. Tug-of-War, pie eating, cow milking, cow calling, nail driving for women, rolling pin throwing. And those crazy clowns. They intend to win the milking contest with an old two-titter ,^joat. ^ It seems the boys from all corners of the county who have'gone to muscle are really going to pull the rope in two in the tug-of-war. For aNlairy county, we've really got the beef. The older boys are all set for the checker tournament. Uudertaker Tom Merwin of Woodstock, I understand, will be in charge. I ttKmtfht undertakers, in general, were most interested in boxing^ [ That's a pun, son. Horseshoe' pitching will be another event that should- attract the £>ead Eye Dicks. There will be plenty of ringer-side seats here to watch. Someone may get up so you can sit down. There are twenty-four entries in the truck "roadeo". That's the way they spell it officially. In most sports its the fellow who looks straight ahead and gets to where he's looking first who wins. Not here. These boys back their way to glory. It takes a guy with a rubber neck to be a good backer in the truck business. And the tractor rodeo. Farm boys and farmers will want to see this new event. The boys in the advanced 4-H tractor project will compete for top honors, getting a jymed up tractor started and adjusted, pulling and backing a two-wheeled harvesting machine through > four gates and lining up to a belt. It ain't too easy. Of course, I'm not telling about all the fine livestock that will be there. Any farmer in McHenry county knows that we have the best dairy cattle among our young people in Illinois or Wisconsin. Our hog show is gettingto be a big event and the poultry show, they tell me, was one of the best last year. You will want to 'see the blonde young lady who does the poultry_iudging perform. ; ^ gO Have you seen an XTbino horse t We will have a whole troupe of them on the Sunday night show with Jimmy Lynch's Death Dodgers. Just a warning. Better plan on seeing the 6 p.m. show. The 8:30 show will overflow and you may not get a seat. --* • , --. life Expectancy tTf Hie expectation of life at birth among American wage earner* and their families rose to an all-time high of 68.2 years in 1950.
