Sixty acres of land on the James Wilirett farm
were taken up by the exhibit area alone during the
23rd annual Farm Progress Show which was held
there last week. The event, the largest of its k>nd in
the world, always takes place on a midwestern
farm. Unlike eastern fairs and shows, where one
large tent is usually shared by several and even
more than a dozen exhibitors, this agricultural
exhibition had one large tent for each exhibitor.
The big machinery and tractor companies even had
their own “arenas" complete with grandstands and
shows featuring their implements and tractors.
And it was ail accompanied by a band which played
popular music on guitars, drums, clarinets,
saxaphones, and electronic organs.
