...livestock won $60,000 in prizes and sales at the Great Western Livestock Show. In the last 15 years, P.D.'s students have won seven Armour Trophies, five Swift Trophies, nine Safeway Stores Trophies. Their activities, however, go far beyond taking prizes. Each year they have staged a rodeo, a community barbecue, and an annual parents-and-sons banquet for about 400 guests...
...rate of 100 bu. a day. But today's farmer has little interest in such events; with a mechanical corn picker, he thinks nothing of picking and husking 1,500 bu of corn a day.

From the incongruous bars of "Yours' to the closing "yowees" of the wild horse race, Boston Garden is a real, wild corral. All the best broncs are there: country Butter, Sling Shot, Pig Eye, Drunkard, and the best rides and the prettiest girls. Also The Range Rider and his Saddle Pal. The Range Rider wears blue suede shoes...
...Evans (Buttons and Bows), was astonishingly good. Both Satins and Spurs and You're So Right for Me may be sounding from radio and jukeboxes for some time to come. Betty Button's most infectious number was a novelty called Wildcat Smathers that featured a rodeo dance on a trampoline-like bedstead in her dressing room...
