STATE BANKERS/NATRONA COUNTY WILL BID FOR LAY PLANS FOR DOUGLAS MEET Excellent Program Will Feature Day’s Session On September 18. The state convention of the Wyo- ming Bankers’ association will be held at Douglas September 18 with one of the best programs that has ever been scheduled for such a con- vention in thi§ state. It will be un- der the direction of Harry B, Hende! son, secretary of the associatio: Ex-Governor B. B. Brooks, president of the organization, ts expected to be at the convention also as will other Casperites. L. F. Scarboro, publisher of The Mountain States Banker, a periodical published in Denver, was in Casper Baturday on his way to Powell where ® group meeting of bankers of the Basin section was held in the form of a banquet. It is the first group meeting to be held this year. The meeting of the central group will be sid at Casper later, and of the south- ‘ern group at Cheyenne. The dates for these have not been announced. Mr. Scarboro will return to Denver and will be back in Wyoming again to attend the state convention. He reports that Fred Marvin, former editor of The Mountain States Banker, is now in New York City with the New York Commercial.

This is the big idea of County Agent G. M. Penley, who is now rounding up exhibits from this locality for Wyoming’s 1928 fair at Douglas in September. Farmets and stockraisers are asked to lend every assist- ence in o! at Natrona county may) gainin, be properly represented at the state mies Soporience! ONeer. rears competition and show at Douglas. Mr. Penley will gladly afd growers of fruit, grain and grasses in selecting the most suitable exhibits. Since high grade stock will have paramount place at the fair and will attract the most attention, it is urged that owners of purebred animals around Casper will present prize-win- ners in the Natrona stalls next month. Dr. H. R. Lathrop has already ar- ranged to show a number of the pure- bred cattle from his fine dairy herd. Added to the medley of neighs, low- ings, grunts and ,bleatings will be the cackles of chickens and.quacks of ducks and geese; and because old ro- tund biddy seems to have given more wealth to the country than all the gold mined in the United States or its territories in the last 40 years, she will make no mean nor insignificant ex- hibit. The poultry fanciers of this county are therefore specially re- quested to make prominent at the fair their different breeds of fowls. Among the outstanding features of the state fair will be the demonstra tion on home economics given by the girls from all sections of Wyoming: Sethryn Seibers and Vera Bartlett, both of East Casper comprise the team from this county. The winning team will secure as its reward a trip to the annual stock show at Denver during the January of 1924, where an inter- state competitive demonstration be: tween the championship teams from Colcrado, Wyoming and New Mexico will be held. In view of the extenstve prepara- tions now being made to gather togeth- er the best and finest exhibits for the 1928 state fair, consideration of the wealth of Natrona county from a purely agricultural and stockraising standpoint is more than pertinent at this time. The county {s found to be already immensely rich in this re- spect. Assessment rolls for this year show 240,000 sheep, 22,593 cattle, 74 mules and 212 hogs. ‘These figures fail however to indicafe the full pos- sibilities here, and that only a mere beginning has thus far been made is shown by County Agent Penley, who says: “Natrona county is not what we term an agricultural county, as the word agriculture usually implies the meaning of extensive crop raising; but still In a broader sense it is an agricul tural county being extensively er gaged in stockraising, particularly of truck gardening.
