A few year ago I ran across a postcard on Ebay. I knew the image was taken on 1st St. in Rogers. But what were all these horses doing. I figured this was some type of contest but what. All I could think of is like out tractor pulls today. It wasn't tell recently when I ran across and article on Newspapers.com I figured out what the photo was, below is the article  

Twenty-Two Teams Take Part in the Split-Log Drag Contest at Rogers.
"The Commercial Appeal" of Memphis, TN - June 8, 1913​ 

Rogers, Ark., June 5 - The below picture talen a few days ago ar a road dragging contest held in Rogers, shows the interest being taken in the good road movement being waged in Benton County. There are 22 teams with split-log drags in the picture. Eleven hundred pounds of flour was given to the participants in the big contest, each receiving a 50-pound sack of flour. Active road dragging is being done in many parts of the county, and as a result some of the best roads in the state are found around Rogers. ​

Photo show in the Memphis Newspaper. Wish they had explained what the flour was for, or just for particapating?
