Calvin Is enthusiastic over the prospects for the state fair. He Ih especially pleased with the live stock ex hibit, and expresses his belief that ths fair of 1906 will surpass oil previous ex hibitions In the following letter to The Georgian: To the Editor of The Georgian: Your ^editorial mention nnd cordial In- dorsment of the Georgia state fair. In re cent Issues of The Georgian, were received with favor by the people and the uiuunge- incut. The fair Is at band. It will begin on the 10th nnd close on the 20th Instant. The out look for a greut fair was never brighter. The extraordinarily liberal cash premiums provided by thc Atlanta Fair Asoselatlon has created the sharpest competition among the counties which early determined to ter the list for the most complete nnd most attractive county agricultural ex hibit. I venture to predict that when the com petlng counties nnnouuce "Ready!’’ thc most observant visitors will declare that, lu point of special nnd general excellence, no such display of agricultural products was ever made In Georgia; that It would com pare favorably with nuy ever made In any state In the union. I make thM venture l>ecnuHc I know the contesting counties, the possibilities nnd the high rn|>nblllty of each of them. There will 1m» four counties, at least, that will bend every energy to carry off the grand prize of $1,800 cash. I make the venture because I know the •rfect unanimity with which the Georgln tote Agricultural Society has seconded every effort put forth by the Atlnutn Fair fine. This means that Generwl Manager Weldon has spared neither pains nor time In Interesting breeders In the splendid op portunity which the state fair affords them lor bringing their stock, which tells of their enterprise and painstaking, before the people. It is of the first Importance that Geor- gin farmers should ns one man become actively Interested In high-bred live stock. This Is especially applicable to our young men who propose to make farming their life work. First-class live stock Is Inseparable from progressive farming. No high degree of pros|>erlty can ever attach to u farm with out the nest live stock. I am making these {mints hccanso I wish the people to come up to the fair—each with an underscored memorandum: “Don’t //ill to visit the live stock department.” with Its specialties and worthy of the closest attention.
