Emmet county fair and demonstration plan proposed
J R Horswell argues for a county fair and demonstration station to improve Emmet County agriculture. He cites the 1913 Iowa law organizing county fairs with a Farmers Improvement association, outlines membership, funding, and governance, and advocates a county expert, township stations, and athletic grounds as part of a broader educational and economic program. He stresses education over frivolity and endorses athletics in moderation.
