HE COUNTY FAIRS
A GREAT SUCCESS
Much Has Been Done to
Advertise Georgia’s Vast
Resources This Way.
Georgia seems to be very rich
in county fairs this fall. From ;
all over the state there come re
ports of successful exhibitions of
the products of the soil with dis
plays of handiwork showing the j
genius of the women of Georgia
with the needle or the brush.
With the boys joining corn
dubs and making more corn to
the acre than their daddies ever
could produce, and the girls form
ing tomato clubs and putting up
“love apples” in away that sur
prises mother, who has only
known one way to can them for
the last half century, we are
building up a great and lasting
asset in Georgia in the guise of
intelligent men and women and
the county fair gives these geni
uses on the farm an opportunity
to show what they have accom
plished.
A state fair is an education to
a man who visits it. It gives in
attractive foYm the best products
of the state and the county fair
is an adjunct of the state fair.
Often a county exhibition at
tractively arranged in some live
town will inspire the people of
that county to make an exhibit
at a state fair. Bulloch county
has reversed this plan. It first
went to the state fair and captur
ing several first prizes decided
that it was a big enough institu
tion to have a fair of its own.
The recent successful Bulloch
county fair indicated that the
promoters were pretty nearly
right in this idea, too.
Stewart county is now display
ing its producs at a county fair
and from all accounts it is an ex
hibition that should create a good
deal of favorable comment.
There is not a county in Geor
gia that could not have a fair of
its own if it wanted to. We can
raise so many things in different
parts of the state that the shows
in each county would be suffi
ciently diversified to make them
most entertaining. For instance,
the display of Rabun county ap
ples just concluded in Atlanta,
gave a great many people a new
idea of the resources of the state.
Dougherty county, if it desired,
could make a pecan display that
would astonish even those who
think they know the full capac
ity of the Georgia soil for pro
ducing diversified crops. Here
along the Atlantic Seaboard we
are raising oranges that are pal
atable and delicious and in other
sections of the state there are
crops grown that bring great
profits to the producers, but that
are seldom heard of away from
their immediate locality. The
county fair will do a great deal
toward bringing all sections to
the attention of the folks at
home.— Sayannah Press.
And No Wonder.
“I,ve found a new use for your
gramophone records you bought
last week and which cost such a
lot of money,” said his wife, ac
cording to the San Francisco
Chronicle.
“How clever you are,” he ex
claimed. “What is your latest?”
“In the first place,” she began
“I hold a skein of wool over my
arm, tie one end of the wool on a
reel, place the reel on the gram- j
ophone pin and then start the
machine. The wool is wound up
in no time.”
The fond husband gasped in
admiration.
“But that is not all,” she con-,
tinued. “To-morrow I shall
place a little bath-brick on one
end of the records, start the <
gramophone, and so clean the
knives. ”
He is still gaping.
The syrup-making season is ,
near at hand. Save your prod
uct in safe bottles with new
stoppers. Get them at the Sumer- '
ford Drug Co., Alley, Ga.—Ad. i
A FRIEND.
A friend is the one who, when
a fellow is down and out, comes
and offers aid.
A friend is the one to whom
I you can freely go and feel no
| hesitancy.
A friend is the fellow who will
help you over the rough place.
A friend is the one who will
come and help you if you happen
to stumble in error.
A friend is one who can stand
, in your shoes, and look at things
from your viewpoint, and con
sider.
A friend is the one who will
hurl back in the teeth the tale
which others would tell and back
bite you.
A friend is the one who will
stop the stone of rumor before
evil tongues ruin you unawares.
A friend is the one who looks
over your errors, and helps you
mend the bad and worn places in
your life.
A friend is the one who picks
you out of the ditch and sets you
on your feet, instead of knocking
you off your feet with their ham
mer, into the ditch.
Beware of the fellow who is
always asking a favor of you but
never willing to return even a
pleasant smile.
Beware of the fellow who lets
you do the work and then takes
the credit.
Beware of the fellow who tells
you when alone that you are “the
stuff” but never opens his chops
I about it around when there is
anyone else listening.
Beware of the fellow that is
always afraid of someone steal
ing his thunder.
Always give the devil his dues.
There is good in every man
and woman —if you search it out.
The fellow who uses his ham-'
mer on the other fellow, finds
often times that his hammer is
made of rubber. It springs back
and hits him in the face.
A man or woman in public life
must expect bullets from a thou
sand guns of rumor, and must
lay aside one-half their time in
dodging these bullets.
More men and women in pub
lic pursuits have been ruined by
rumor than foolish plays.
The life has been stamped out
of more beneficial results by ru
mor, jealousy, and fear that the
other fellow will get the credit,
than has actually been accom
plished.
Cast your bread upon the
waters closest home—it will re
turn to you the sooner.
Remember the fellow that is
down-andout. Remember, its
youi‘ turn next.—Mrs. 0. Delight
Smith in Macon Telegraph-Indus
trial Journal.
Co-operation by Farmers.
Agricultural co-operation con
sists of two parts:
1. Production —Production in
volves all the processes inci
dental to the cultivation of the
land and the keep of the farmer,
the purchase of stock, imple
ments, seeds, manures, the raw
material of agriculture.
2. Distribution —Distribution
is concerned with the disposal of
the produce of the land, its con
veyance to market, its sale to
the purchaser, its transport to
the consumer.
The success of the farmer de
pends on two things—the cost at
which he produces and the price
he receiyes for his produce.
While it is necessary that the
farmer should command a good
market, it is essential that he
should reduce his expenses to the
lowest point compatible with es-1
ficiency.— Gilbert Parker.
