Iowa State Fair to Be Not Held This Year
President W W Field of the Iowa Agricultural Society announced in Des Moines that delaying the Iowa state fair this year is unwise due to the Transmississippi and International Exposition. A five member committee would push a bill to unite agricultural departments under one head with a creative officer in control. The society plans to open halls on Sundays, reduced debt by about $11,000, and set September 8 to 17 for the exhibition. Officers elected include John Downie as president and P P Fowler as secretary.
