OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF
THE SOUTHEASTERN
-
The distinguishing feature of
Southeastern Fair, Atlanta,
16th to 26th, was the swine
which had more than 1200 entries
the regular classes, With 300
in the Boys and Girls Pig Club
tests. A prominent southern
agent who has visited ail of the
ger fairs said that it was the
largest swine show in the
States.
The initial effort of the
breeder's to establish a National
and Cattle Show in the South was
warded with all the success that
anticipated. While the entries in
fat stock classes were not large,
program was carried out and
tary Striplin announces that next
year this feature will through vigo
rous promotion, be in keeping with
the breeding classes. The ehampoin
fat steer was sold to the White Pro
vision Company of Atlanta for 20c
and the barrow for I 8 V 2 C.
In the International Club Stock
Judging Contest, the Texas team
captured the honors as was anticipa
ted inasmuch as the Texas coach had
those backing him who appreciated
the opportunity and the prize and
had taken his team to the larger
shows of the North in order to coach
them thoroughly. They were 145
points ahead of all competitors, The
winners are Jack Turner, Hillsboro,
Alva Debnam, La Mesa, and Gilbert
Weiting, Marlin. They will'go to the
Royal Livestock Show of England in
Jane next year accompanied by their
coach, W. B. Cook; one of the Texas
officers connected with the bureau
of extension work, and one of the of
ficials at Washington, their expense
being paid by the Southeastern Fair.
The 1920 Southeastern Fair as a
whole was bigger and better in every
way. In point of attendance a new
record was set for one day and for
the week. Otj Tuesday, October 19th
more than 53,000 people visited the
fair. The attendance for the week
was 12,000 greater than last year.
In point of revenue, the total will ex
eeed 1919 by several thousand dol
la rs.
The agricultural and horticultural
exhibits were better than in any pro
vious year. The apple show was won
derful, the only^thing lacking being
room to arrange it to properly show
the many varieties and quality of the
fruit.
The poultry, pigeons and rabbits,
occupied every available foot of
space; in fact entries were discOur-

another that suffered for lack
room. x Beautiful club exhibits
booths were so cramped for
space that they did not reveal
real worth. The Fine Arts Depart
ment suffered for lack of room and
facilities for lighting the wonder!ill
collection gathered by Mrs. E. W
More, the Superintendent.
The Automobile Show filled every
foot of the three acre's and a halt of
floor space, and was one of the con
spicuous features of the fair. It cm
phasized the importance of
hs a distributing center in the auto¬
motive industry, and reflected much
credit on the Atlanta Automobile
Association for staging such show
under the present depressed condi
tion of the business,
The tractor and farm labor saving
machinery exhibit wag wonderful,
The only thing lacking to make ' it
show its comprehensive character
was an'ample building which would
require seven or eight acres of flooi
space. The farm home lighting ex
hibits were worthy of special mention
and their demonstrations will nc.
doubt be the means of inducing
thousands of people to provide these
utilities at home,
The Boys’ Fair School had more
pupils than ever and all of the club

partment of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture exhibited pro

U. S. A NATION OF NIMRODS
NOW HAS 7,000,000 HUNTERS
This is a Nation of Nimrods.
There are 7,000,000 hunters in
the United States, according to the
chief United States game warden in
the Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture. This es
timate was made from reports on the :
number of game licenses issued by
the various States. j
In 1919, 3,600,000 State licenses'
issued, and in addition it is ’
were es
timated that 3,500,000 hunters are j
exempted under various State pro-;
visions. The returns to the States
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA
fro’m licenses was approximately
$4,500,000, all of which was
ed by the States in administration
State laws for the protection of
game. This sum permits the employ¬
ment of approximately 2,000 salaried
State game wardens and 600 fee
wardens. The congressional appro¬
priation for Federal game-warden
service for protection of migratory
birds is $142,500, which permits the
employment of only 29 salaried
wardens.
At its recent meeting in Ottawa
the International Association of Fish,
Game, and Conservation Commission
ers adopted a resolution calling for
issuance of Federal licenses for
! hunting migratory birds. The recom¬
mendation called for licenses in the
form of special stamps to be issued
by postmasters and attached to State
licensee. It was estimated that the
revenue from such licenses would
amount to between $ 1 , 000,000 and
$ 2 , 000 , 000 , which could be used for
the protection of game.

COUNTY-WIDE ATTENDANCE
CONTEST AT ELKO MEET
A County-wide Attendance Contest
has been organized in connection
with the approaching Houston Coun¬
ty Sunday School Convention to be
held at Elko Baptist Church on Sun¬
day, November 21st, according to R.
1). Webb, General Superintendent of
the Georgia Sunday School Associa¬
tion.

number of delegates in proportion to
the distance traveled. Under this
plan, ten delegates coming ten miles
each to the Convention count the
same as twenty delegates traveling
only five miles each, thus making it
fair for all, both near and far.

of the Sunday School winning it, and
may be taken home for permanent
display in the Sunday School room.

MAKING THE DESERT SAFER.
Every year the “American Desert
takes its toll of human life. In many
parts of it springs, wells, and water
are few and far between. Three
years ago the United States Geologi
cal Survey, Department of the In
terior, under a small special appro
priation by Congress, erected sign-1
posts in the worst portions of our
southwestern deserts, giving direc
tions and distances from watering
place to watering place. This life-
t
saving work of the Geological Survey
was supplemented by a survey of
these deserts in cooperation with the
California Department of Engineer¬
ing, the results of which are being
published in a series of guidebooks.
A guide just issued, entitled “Routes
to desert watering places in the Sal
ton Sea region, California,” by J. S.
Brown, contains maps of roads and
watering places and road logs giving
mileage and notes as to supplies ob¬
tainable.
A copy of the report—Water-Sup¬
ply Paper 490-A—may be obtained
free of charge by applying to the Di¬
rector of the United Stales Geologi¬
cal Survey, Washington, D. C., or to
the office of the United States Geo¬
logical Survey, at 602 Federal Build¬
ing, Los Angeles, Calif.
The pxodus from the country to the
city is attributable to many causes,
but inadequate rural facilities has
certainly been one of the most ob¬
vious and impelling of these. If we
are to maintain our rural civilization
and provide for the future basic
needs of our people we must give in¬
telligent concern to maintaining our
rural institutions, and the rural
school is certainly one of the most es¬
sential of these.—Dr. W. B. Bizzell,
president, Texas Agricultural and
and Mechanical College.

For years we have used Black-Draught in our family, D
and I have never found any medicine that could take its D
O place, writes Mr. H. A. Stacy, of Bradyville, Tenn. Mr. Sta- B
Q cy, who is a Rutherford County farmer, recommends Black
iff Draught as a medicine that should be kept in every house¬
hold for use in the prompt treatment of many little ills to pre¬
vent them from developing into serious troubles.

declared. “It is «*
one of the best medicines I ever saw for a
cold and headache. I don’t know what we would do in our
family if it wasn’t for Black-Draught. It has saved tis many —
H dollars . . . I don’t see how any family can hardly go with- D
