The site lies along the main line of the Pennsyl-

the main line tracks cut across the land of the Fair
Company near the public road, and it is here that it
is proposed to erect a passenger station especially
for the Keystone State Fair. Nearby will be sidings
and freight sheds adequate to handle the vast num-

NEED OF A STATE FAIR
The need of a State Fair for Pennsylvania has
been felt for years. Time after time leading agricul-
turists and stockbreeders have gathered in Harris-
burg to discuss ways and means to attain this de-
sired object.
A three days’ conference was held in Harrisburg
on January 21, 22 and 23, 1913, in which an effort
was made to get a State Fair proposition under way.
It was attended by Governor John K. Tener, State
Secretary of Agriculture, N. B. Critchfield, W. C.
Norton of Waymart, Pa., President of the Pennsyl-
vania Livestock Breeders’ Association; Chester T.
Tyson, Secretary of the State Horticultural Associa-
tion; G. G. Tyson, a noted feeding expert of Warri-
or's Mark, Pa., and by farmers, fruitgrowers, stock-
breeders and agricultural implement people from all
parts of Pennsylvania. It was the unanimous con-
viction of this gathering that a State Fair is an abso-
lute necessity to the future growth and development
of Pennsylvania.

Governor Tener said: “I am in hearty accord
with the proposition to establish a great State Fair
for Pennsylvania.”
W. C. Norton said: “I am heartily in favor of a
State Fair, and let it be understood that by a State
[Fair is not meant simply a place for exhibit and dis-
cussion of what pertains to the agricultural develop-
ment of the State alone; not by any means. Every-
thing that is of an educational, scientific, mechanical
yr other economic character should be included. Not
only farm products, mind you, but machinery of all
kinds and exhibits to show the development and im-
of the State ought to have a place.”

Secretary Sandles, of the State Agricultural So-
ciety, took up an entire hour discussing Ohio's great
State I7air, telling of what it has meant to the devel-
opment not only of the farming pursuits in the
Buckeye State but of its untold advantages in other
States.
“The Ohio State Fair,” he said, “not only pays
its own expenses but yields a substantial profit. Let
Pennsylvania people see what Pennsylvania can do.
A State Fair would do more to make farming more
of a science and a profitable business than any oth-
er factor. But don’t be stingy when you establish
your fair, Farmers; don’t be penny wise and pound
foolish.”
Secretary Critchfield presided and when he
called for a vote as to the advisability of a State
Fair for Pennsylvania, every one of the 500 dele-
gates present voted “aye.”
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE
460,000 square feet of space will be allotted for
exhibits of agricultural, horticultural and floracultur-
al nature. The display of fruit will be worthy of the
great peach and apple growing sections of Pennsyl-
vania which lie at the doors of the exposition
grounds. Lancaster County, nearby, richest farm
county in the United States, will exhibit their pro-
ducts, and the Cumberland Valley, just across the
river, and the Lebanon Valley on the other side,
will all contribute.
There will be a Grange building and it is hoped
to have the various Granges make collective exhibits
in competition for substantial cash prizes... Educa-
tional experiments from experimental stations and
agricultural colleges will also be arranged and every
agricultural implement dealer in the United States
will be invited, and, it is expected, will participate.

at the Fair worthy the important place it holds in
the industry of the State.
Substantial, sanitary show places and stables
are to be erected and the live stock features will
bring together on Review Day a parade of prize
winners that will rank with anything of the kind in
America. Provision will be made for at least 5.000
animals of large size, not to mention pens for poul-
try and small animals in immense numbers.
AUTOMOBILE SPEEDWAY CONTESTS
The clean, scientific sport of automobile races is
the most popular as well as profitable amusement of
today. The manufacturers of the world build mo-
tors for these contests in which they incorporate ad-
vanced scientific ideas, that their improved construc-
tion may be subjected to the most severe tests for
speed and endurance.
Racing a car is concentrating its use; it is sub-
jecting the car to every possible disadvantage n the
shortest period of time. Out of every automobile
racing event has grown a motor car of better and
truer construction.
Indianapolis, Indiana, has the only automobile
speedway in the United States worthy of the name.
Contests held on this track one day in each year
draw one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred
and fifty thousand spectators from every state in the
Union, and during the first five years of its opera-
tion a profit of more than a million dollars has ac-
crued to the owners.
THE KEYSTONE STATE FAIR SPEEDWAY
A two-and-a-half-mile track, one hundred feet in
width, of vitrified brick, laid in concrete, together
with a fireproof grandstand, seating eighty to one
hundred thousand people, will be a most attractive
feature of this enterprise.
twice eyearly, July 4th and September
(Labor Day) will attract hundreds of thousands to
five hundred mile national and international
contests. Tt is our purpose to construct this speed-
the first racing contest on (Labor Day)
September, 1915, that it may mark the formal open-
ing of the great Kevstone State Fair and Industrial
Exposition in September. 1916
