Soule, president of the department of agriculture of the University of Georgia. In company with Supts. Dallis and.Brown, President J. J. Conner and others, Prof. ’Soule went over the entire ground, visiting all of the exhibit halls and closely inspecting the various displays. "I can hardly believe it possible/’ ho declared, “that this great fair was prepared in Just sixty days. It is so complete in every particular. The agricultural exhibits reflect , much credit upon the various counties ana are in number and variety sufficiently greut to assure the success of the fair. These displays, besides being generally:attractive, must appeal to all farm ers as well as to the.public, showing as they do, the great agricultural re sources and developments of the various counties.* One is enabled at a glance to tell Just what are the farm products of the counties represented, and to what extent they are cultivated, by simply going through the dis plays. Any farmer, no matter if ho Mves at tho extreme end of the state, •who does not visit the state.fair during the ensuing week will certainly miss one of the treats of a lifetime.* If ho lives anywhere near Macon he . should be sure to come." President K. G. Matheson, of tho Georgia Technological School, was also especially delighted with the exhibits of machinery and farming imple ments. Both wero loud in their praise of the wonderful success achieved by the fair association officials in sec-urlng such creditable displays in co short a time. COLLEGE DAY PROGRAM.
