Jackson Mercantile Company Jackson, Georgia THE JACKSON PROGRES&AROUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA. BULLETIN FROM GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS. Prises for agricultural exhibits are offered by fair associations for taro purposes. First, exhibits serve a decorative purpos a which gives an agricultural atmosphere to the fair, and second, they are educa tional. It should not be forgotten that an exhibitor ia aa much a showman as the men on th 8 midway. His first object is to attract and inter est the crowds passing in front of hia booth. Unless peopl e will look at his exhibit his booth is a failure. Also the first impression made on the judg e is often a lasting one. It is always a safe plan to put your first foot forward in arrang ing and decorating an exhibit For this reason the decoration of the front of the booth should receive special attention, and any specially attractive exhibits be arranged so that they can be easily seen from the front. The arrangement and decoration of an agricultural exhibit is an art in itself which requires considerable artistic ability and experience. Much can be learned by examining prize winning booths and talking to old exhibitors. Don’t, however, slavishly follow. Remember that originality pays. At every fair which I have attended in Georgia I have been stuck by tKe fact that the booths are nearly always decorated with corn, wheat, sorghums, etc., in much the same way as booths from Ohio or Indiana. It doe? not seem to have occurred to anyone that cot ton is fine material for decorative purposes and is especially appro priated for a Georgia exhibit. Pep per, peanuts, sugar cane, velvet beans and pecans l are all widely grown Georgia crops which are little used for decorating. The educational side of an ex hibit is usually ample. While the number and variety of specimens in a good exhibit is usually ample, they are often so poorly labeled and arranged that they mean very littl. Each sample should have a card attached giving the name of the specimen and any other infor mation which would be of special interest. For example, suppose you have two varieties of corn to ex hibit, one a good variety and the other a poor one. Two equal piles of these varieties would make a very poor exhibit, but a large pile of the good variety and small pile of the poor corn together with a label giving their names and the yield of each variety would make a very good exhibit. Again, piles of different seed cotton are not very interesting but it you comb out a few eeeds showing the length of staple of each variety and mount on a piece of cardboard to place in each pile the exhibit becomes at- tNEW FAIL SUITS We were never better prepared to take care of your wants in Fall Clothes—all of the most popular colors and the very newest models.

Try to piake your speci mens speak for you whenever possi ble. Good specimens are often spoiled by poor arrangement. Grains, Grass es, etc . are best shown in a full length bundle not less than four inches in diameter at the base. The heads should be even and the bundle a ' tied with a suitable piece of tape or ribbon. Shelled grains are best shown in peck lots and corn and grain sorghums in ten ear lots.
