ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1940 Future Farmers Club of Anaheim Plans Fair Event May Be Combined With First Annual "Dairymen's Day" Slated by Merchants Possibility of combining the Merchants association's plans for a "Dairymen's day" with the Future Farmers of America's fair and judging contest was discussed by directors of the association this morning after H. Victor Hansen, Anaheim union high school agriculture teacher and adviser for the Future Farmers, had outlined the plans of his group. The Future Farmers club's fair is scheduled for Saturday, March 16, at the high school.

The latter would include exhibitions of new farm equipment by various dealers, if present plans materialize.

Rainfall was generally without the area, and continuously throughout the night. To Invite Dairymen Hansen said it had been the idea of his group to invite dairymen living west of Anaheim to compete in a milking contest and to also watch the milk judging contest. Because the Merchants association had previously planned a "Dairymen's day" Hansen suggested that the two affairs be held in conjunction with each other. He thought it possible to hold the Future Farmer part of the event in the morning, with the dairymen to be guests of the Merchants association during the afternoon. The biggest problem now confronting the proposition is that the business men's group had planned its event in April, because of several other events to take place in March.
