Giant Military Revue
Headlines Fair's United
Nations Spectacle
Atlanta, Sept. 23—One of the
most spectacular grandstand shows
In the fair's history will be pre
sented at the 194? Southeastern
World's Fair which opens tomorrow,
when the giant United Nations Mil
itary Revue is staged free for the
benefit of fairgoers this year, Mike
Benton, president, announced to
day.
A giant stage has been construct
ed in front of the Lakewood Park
grandstand, which will be bedecked
with colorful flags of the 31 Unit
ed Nations. During the show, which
will be presented each night, a
mass military band will play mili
tary marches of the various coun
tries, and boys and girls, dressed
in military costumes representing
the various United Nations, will
come onto the giant stage and
present dances, skits and songs
traditional of the country which
they represent. An official repre
sentative (in many cases a military
advisor) of the various countries
will make a brief talk.
While the show will have a Zieg-
field atmosphere, with all of its
splendor and color or flags and
costumes, it is being designed pri
marily in the interest of good-will
among America and her Allies. "It
will be one of the most inspiring
sights ever staged at any fair,"
Benton said. In addition to the
great stage show, a brilliant fire
works display has been arranged
with a patriotic theme. Firework
sets in the pattern of an American
flag or some other patriotic design
will thrill the thousands of grand
stand fans who will gather to see
the display.
“This year's fireworks' display
should be the best we've offered
yet,” the fair president said. ‘We
are straining every nerve’to put
Defense before the eyes of Georgia.
Our fireworks display should be
very stirring."

will probably be a wise move for
farmers to buy from 5 to 10 pounds
of calcium arsenate now for every-
acre of cotton they expect to plant
in 1942 County Agent E. G. Black- 1
well said this week.
He advised farmers that reports
from Washington officials indicate
that if manufacturers of calcium
arsenate make any of this material
at all next year the amount will bo
considerably smaller than that
made for the 1942 crop.
According to Mr. Blackwell said
that Georgia farmers used around
six million pounds of this material
in 1942 and the poisoning has add
ed considerable to cotton yields
He continued that more-' calcium
arsenate was used in Georgia dur
ing the. past season than in any
other state except Texas.
Since the first of August some
manufacturers have indicated that
they do have a considerable quanti
ty of calcium arsenate on hand. If
bought now it can be stored until
needed and will not deteriorate if
stored in a dry place.
The County Agen explained that
this year's cotton crop is earlier
than usual and if the weather is fa
vorable the cotton will be picked
long before frost.

“Indications are that farmers
will not be able to obtain more than
80 per cent of their requirements of
commercial nitrogen next year, and
plenty of quickly available nitro
gen in fertilizer enables cotton to
grow off fast and get ahead of the
weevil," Mr. Blackwell said.
“Apparently there will be plenty
of cottonseed meal, peanut meal,
and soybean meal available, and
these are good sources of nitrogen
even though they act slower than
nitrate of soda. However, nitrogen
