FINEST AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY
AT COMING SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
Atlanta. Special.) After the Grand
Circuit races, which will bring to Geor
gia the finest horseflesh ever seen on
a southern race track; after the exhi-
Ibition of the finest cattle, hogs and
(poultry in the United States; after
"Lark land,” with all its attendant
[pleasures and amusements, and many
other features already briefly mention
ed, the first annual Southeastern Fair
in Atlanta, October 14 to 21, inclusive,
is going to be a real fair, an exposi
tion of all that is finest and best in
the agricultural and industrial resourc
es of the southeast.
H. (i. Hastings, agricultural expert
(and seedsman, known throughout the
Igoti th, is chairman of this department,
and has already succeeded in bringing
(together for this first, showing, one
!of the finest exhibitions of farm prod
ucts together with farm machinery
and other tilings pertaining to agricul
ture, ever shown anywhere in the
country.
$60,000 In Prizes
It stands to reason dial in a state
fair offering an aggregate of $60,000
jin prizes, there is going to be a show
iwell worth anybody’s traveling to see,
(outside of amusement and other fea
tures to which the fall holiday season
so strongly summons.
In connection with these agricultu
ral exhibits are offered more than $lO,-
1000 in prizes alone; and if the Boys’
Corn and Pig Clubs and the Girls’ Can
ning Clubs be included, the amount
twill run far in excess of that.
Any county in anyone of the seven
southeastern states may compete in
the county exhibit contest for the first
(prize of SSOO and six subsidiary prizes
ranging from S4OO down to SSO. The
(best individual farm exhibit will draw
a first, prize of S2OO, with six other
(prizes ranging down to sls.
The agricultural school exhibits are
(limited to Georgia, and there will lie
[eleven of them, one from each school
(with a first prize of SIOO and (ive
(others.
But there are other contests in
(which expert farmers from other states
(are at liberty to compete to their
[heart’s content, among them indtvidu
lal exhibits of corn, wheat, oats, bar
ley, millet, grasses, hay in bales, pea
(mits, cotton, sorghums and syrups, le
(giimes, country cured meats, potatoes,
(sweet and Irish, vegetables of many
(kinds, melons, fruits and practically
lverything the farm gives birth to.
Next comes the competition between
(the members of the Farmers’ Five
|Acre Corn Club, in the states of Geor
gia, East Tennessee and North Flor
ida, careful rules for which are laid
idown and special prizes offered.
Will Give 10 Per Cent More
lii addition to the prizes offered
for all agricultural exhibits of what-1
;ver nature, the Southern Ruralist will
give cash prizes of ten per cent addi
tional to any exhibitor who is a sub
scriber to that publication. For ex
ample, if an exhibitor who is one of
its subscribers, wins a SSO prize for
his display, he will receive from the
Southern Ruralist an additional prize
of $5. In this way this publication will
add approximately SI,OOO to the pres
ent agricultural premium list.
The sixth annual Georgia Corn Show
of the Boys’ Com Clubs, generally eon
aidered a big show within itself, will
bo held this year at the Southeastern
Fair, and some $2,000 in valuable
prizes will be given the hoys who are
successful in these contests. Included
among the prizes are agricultural Im
|pli ■nients, blooded stock and scholar
ships at some of the foremost agrt
icultural schools and colleges. The
bßoys’ Fig Clubs, including those hoys
who have raised a pig into a full
grown hog, will also make their ex
hibits at the same time. There will
likewise be prizes for them.
Cash premiums, and fifteen scholar
ships will be offered for the best work
of the Girls’ Canning Clubs, which will
Include home demonstration work and
labor-saving devices for use in the
country home made by girls and
women.

are offered in these school contests,
and similar contests will be open to
town and city schools, both elemen
tary and high, for the same class of
work. The educational exhibits will
also include special school contests
for elementary and advanced depart
ments, and an especial competition
among all public schools for map and
chart work, drawings and domestic sci
ence work.
The Women’s Department
In the women’s department, with
Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin as chairman,
sales will be conducted and work done
by women will be disposed of for ex
hibitors who desire it.
The exhibition of woman’s work will
be at the same time one of the exten
sive and distinctive features of the
fair, and handsome cash prizes are
offered in the various contests, includ
ing arts and crafts work, needle work,
culinary work, arrangement of booths
and the displays presented in them.
There are six cash prizes for instance,
with a first of SSO, l'or the best indi

lace work, ladies’ articles, infants’ gar
ments, sofa pillows and dressed dolls.
There will lie a special section for
work done by old ladies.
Good Cooking
The culinary exhibit under direction
of Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, will he
distinctive in itself, showing all varie
ties of home-made jellies, preserves,
canned goods, cakes, breads and can
dies, with appropriate prizes in each
class.
The work of the blind will be shown
under special direction of Miss Mildred
Harris. The ‘‘Better Babies” contest,
with live divisions, arranged according
to ages, under Dr. Elizabeth Broach,
promises to be a specially attractive
feature. Mrs. T. O. Plunkett will have
charge of the plant and flower exhibit,
and the fine arts exhibit will be un
der Mrs. S. N. Kvins.
Nothing of interest to woman, that
is done by woman, will be omitted.
One of the showings of chief interest
will be a model rural cottage well
planned and well kept, in charge of
Mrs. H. G. Hastings and Mrs. Dan Ca
rey.
Many Other Features
It would be impossible in the space
of a brief article to call attention to
every interesting feature comprised
under the broad headings of agricul
ture, corn and canning clubs, educa
tion and woman's department; it is
sufficient to say these will be the most
extensive, the most attractive and the
most complete ever seen at a southern
fair.
President Ivan E. Allen and General
Manager R. M. Striplin have left no
stone unturned to make the first an
nual Southeastern Fair the most com
plete ever seen in this section, not
from one but front every standpoint;
and with that purpose as a foundation,
it is their determination to build upon
it and make it bigger and better and
more interesting every year that
comes.
Fair Amusements
Especial and particular attention
was given to fair amusements. While
the Grand Circuit races may be in
cluded under that feature, there is a
large park devoted exclusively to
amusement features, with the roller
coaster, the old mill, the biggest and
finest "merry-go-round” in the South,
high class shows of all sorts, with free
vaudeville acts and everything else
that goes along with a fair that is
worth while.
Every one who is coming up for
opening day should have one of the
little blue keys, the admission ticket
that actually unlocks the gates. These
are on sale in all the country banks,
and they carry with them an addition
al advantage in that the possessor of
one of them will go home at the
end of the fair the owner of anew
SI,OOO Reo automobile.
