Preston's Rodeo Aids War Effort and Morale
The Preston Chamber of Commerce again sponsors the annual rodeo, the eighth, with profits dedicated to war bonds to defray costs of wartime inflation and boost morale. Military units from Hill Field will augment a broad bond drive, while the event offers Western entertainment as farmers harvest beets and beans. Idaho sugar beet acreage fell 39 percent from 1942 to 1943, with Idaho plants limited to 25,000 acres versus 43,000 last year and several factories likely unable to operate.
