The state expands the annual horse exhibit with a brick and steel barn to be ready for this year’s fair. Officials say the new building will add greatly to the value and presentation of the horse exhibition.
The fair features a Mothers' club led exhibit showing how to keep Iowa children healthy. A highlight is the Iowa Babies' Health Contest, returning for another year.
The purse offered for races at the Iowa State Fair exceeds 15000 dollars ensuring the biggest race meet of the year. Hundreds of horses are in training with entries filled across all classes promising fast trotting and pacing at the Fair.

White Hollands turkeys suit crowded small farms as they are hardy quick growers and good mothers. They nest near the farm buildings and guard poults, guiding them to fields after hatching, while staying near at night. A yearling hen laid eggs and hatched a brood of 24 poults from 26 eggs.
The Homer is prized for breeding due to large size and fertility. They yield fat, marketable birds for broilers or can reach full growth for profitable sale. Breeding occurs year round with 12 to 16 young per year per pair, laying two eggs with about 18 days to hatch. After hatching they feed the young while preparing for another nesting.
Ducks are good hatchers but poor mothers. Keep a clean brooder and provide fresh water for land ducks. Green foods like oats and corn fodder aid growth. Charcoal in drinking water helps birds stay healthy. Artificial incubation may be needed for rearing. Feed and care instructions focus on preventing convulsions and promoting strong shells with crushed oyster shells and bone.
