District Fair Means Much
In Agriculture and Live Stock
What does the Third .Agricultural
District Fair mean to the farmers?
Agriculture stands out pre-eminent in
the great advancement of the arts
and the venerable tribute to be found
in the sayings of Solomon, "That the
King himself is served by the field,”
might be said to be the language of
inspired wisdom, arousing our nobl
est ambitions. Food, raiment and
luxuries innuemerable are the fruits
of the farmers’ labor and care,,, and in 1
this train follow health, happiness and
independence. Much as the wealth and
prosperity of a nation may be advanc
ed by commerce and manufacture, still
«e are constrained to look upon Ag
riculture as its source and foundation.
This being so, what does the Third
Agricultural District Fair mean to
the farmer? It means education. It
gneans how best to improve farming
operations, improving farm imple
ments, how and when to use to the
best advantage, getting the largest
yields with the least possible costs;
how to produce more to the acre than
before; how to combat destroying in
sects, droughts, etc.; the best methods
of tilling and seed selection. It means,
v ith the efficient material at our com
mand, the covering of our lands with

i This fact can clearly be brought out
I in a visit to the agricultural exhibits
i where the farmers off Southwest
’ Georgia will find them just teeming
' with the cream of the products of
our soil. Here one may see what can
I bo done with the soil when it is prop
i erly tilled. The machinery and prac-
II deal demonstrators in charge of same
will take pains to explain every piece
and how it is used.
The Third Agricultural District
Fair, beginning October 23rd and con
tinuing until October 28th will be the
largest and best fair ever held in this
part of the state.
For Live Stock.
What does the Third Agricultural
District Fair mean to the live stock
breeder? It means more pounds at
minimum cost. It means the kind to
raise for food and the best age to
slaughter. It means what breeds pro
duce the best results at the pail. It
means the thoroughbred’s victory over
the scrub in every contest. It 'brings
to close range the best sheep, mules,
horses, ponies, beef cattle, dairy cat
; t'e and hogs, so that every one can
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
see the finished product at its best. '
It means to the ambitious farmer of
this district a resolution that he will
strive to have something better than
the other fellow at the next fair. No
man can see and study the best types
of all breeds of horses, cattle, and
sheep and swine as shown at the Third
Agricultural Fair and again look with
complacency upon a lot off scrub
stock at home.
Our judges at Jhe coming fair in the
live stock department will be high
ciass men known to every farmer of
Ulis state. Men who have made for
themselves a regulation as a raiser cf
fin? blooded stock. It will give them
the greatest of pleasure to take pains
*o show the good points and the weak
’ t ints of each and every breed in the
show pen.:.
From the prospects that we now
have, it looks good to us for the great
est show of fine stock ever shown on a
fair grounds in the South. Never in
the history of the state was such a
deep interest being taken in this one
feature of the fair as now. The finest
breeders of this and adjoining states
have been secured with their valuable
heerds, which they will put on exhibi
tion.
The live stock is not all that will be
seen at the fair, for we have lot left
a stone unturned in our efforts to
give you the best fair ever pulled off
in Georgia. All we ask is that you
ccme and bring your fami'y and take
a much needed vacation.
