Steam power to run farm exhibition machinery at Venona fair
A Venona Union Fair Association committee has proposed replacing cash premiums with 150 feet of shafting and steam power to run farm machinery during the fair. Parker & Son will install the shafting and machinery will be operated by steam next fall, increasing exhibitor advantage and improving the department’s appeal. Also a note praising red clover tonic from H. S. Whitcomb.
