County bonds offer small cost for big county fair benefits
An argument proposes twenty six cents per year per bond and forty five cents per quarter section for approximately 770000 acres.

It urges Farmers Union support to back a permanent home for Nebraska agricultural exhibits and hints the union could push the proposal to success.
