FINEST AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY AT COMING SOUTHEASTERN FAIR Atlanta. —Special.)—After tho Grand Circuit races, which will bring to Geor gia the finest horseflesh ever seen on a southern race track; after the exhi bition of the finest cattle, hogs and poultry in the United States; after “Larkiand,” 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. G. Hastings, agricultural expert and seedsman, known throughout the south, 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 'V - •'.* - .-s . " ♦ _» . - -< • . c - r-. V-*. , >4 .. .'' ' Bulls Like This Mean Money For Georgia Farmers. and other things pertaining to agricul ture, ever shown anywhere in tho country. $60,000 In Prizes It stands to reason that in a state fair offering an aggregate of $60,000 in prizes, there is going to be a show well 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,- 000 in prizes alone; and if the Boys’ Corn and Pig Clubs and the Girls’ Can ning Clubs be included, the amount will 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 S3OO, with six other prizes ranging down to sls. The agricultural school exhibits are limited to Georgia, and there will be eleven of them, one from each school with a first prize of SIOO and five 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 individu al exhibits of corn, wheat, oats, bar ley, millet, grasses, hay in bales, pea nuts, cotton, sorghums and syrups, le gumes, country cured meats, potatoes, sweet and Irish, vegetables of many kinds, melons, fruits and practically everything 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 down and special prizes offered. Will Give 10 Per Cent More r In addition to the prizes offered for all agricultural exhibits of what ever nature, the Southern Ituralist 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 con sidered a big show within itself, will be held this year at the Southeastern Fair, and some $2,000 in valuable prizes will be given the boys who are successful in these contests. Included among the prizes are agricultural im p! inents, blooded stock and scholar ships at some of the foremost agri cultural schools and colleges. The Boys’ Pig Clubs, Including those boys who have raised a pig into a full grown hog, will also make their ex hihits at the same time. There will likewise be prizes for th'-m. 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. Educat onal Display In the educational department, un der the direction of M L. Brittain, Georgia's state superintendent of schools, competitions wiil be open to ad. elementary county schools in writing, essay work, original stories, drawings, water color work, painting, sewing and fancy work. Many cash premiums 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 I.umpkin 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 I 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, for the best indi vidual booths. Other features of the women’s dis play will include Jewelry work, basket ry, meta! work, leather work, weaving, bead work, stenciling, designing, deco rative art, textile work, embroidery, lace work, ladies’ articles, infants’ gar ments, sofa pillows and dressed dolls. There will be a special section for work done by old ladies. Good Cooking The culinary exhibit under direction of Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, will be 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 five 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. Evins. Nothing of interest to woman, that is done by woman, will be omitted. One of the showings of chief interest wiil be a model rural cottage well planned and well kept, in charge of Mrs. H. G. Hastings and Mrs. Dan Ca rey. Many Other Feature# 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 It. 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 from 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 Amusement* « Especial and particular attention was given to fair amusements. While the Gland 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 a new SI,OOO Reo automobile.
