It is all of that, the more especially from an agricultural standpoint but in other ways as well. Not on,/ are the progressive farmers who have become self-sustaining through diversified crops and the corn club boys the educators, but the no men of town and country and the girls of the canning clubs are likewise educators; and the Wilkes-Lincoln County Flair may be rightly called the school room of all these excellent teachers. Tuesday at noon the third annual agricultural, horticultural and live stock show of the association began and will continue through Saturday. At the hour of opening, when follow ing the address of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, dean of the State College of Agriculture, the band struck up “Dixie,” the immense main building was filled to its capacity, every avail able space upstairs and downstairs occupied by exhibits in the several de partments. Fair Opened With Parade. Decorated farm wagons loaded with agricultural products of the two counties, live stock under halter, mer chants' floats and decorated rigs form ed a long parade which, beginning at the fair»grounds, passed through the city streets and back to the grounds, where on the race track In front of the grandstand the awards were made when the fair was formally opened. The three farm wagons from the Hillside Farm, operated by Mr. W. M. Hill-—one loaded with 26 pumpkins weighing in the aggregate of 1.284 pounds and the largest of which tip ped the scales at 113 pounds, one with pigs, corn and strings of beans ar.,l hearing the slogan “Hog and Hominy and "Pork and Beans,” and one rep resenting the gravary, the float as suming the shape of a house surround ed by sheafs of oats and banked with sacks of oats, wheat, barley and rye, took first prize. The Celeste Club with a splendid display was awarded sec Do You Suffer From Indigestion?

All of the farm wagon displays were creditable, indicating a land of plenty, particularly. Mr. J. G. Wright’s—a wagon filled with hogs and corn and bearing the slogan "Hog and Hominy is Still My Theme;” that from the Fairfield Farm, sheafs of oats tied with red, white and blue ribbon surround ing a mound of red, yellow and white corn; the Northeast Wilkes Club—a wagon filled with baled lay, oats, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, sugarcane, hams and shoulders with live 'possums and featuring "Possum and Taters;" and Mr. Cliff McLean’s wagon loaded down with Puland-China hogs and Pigs. A dozen beautifully decorated rigs driven by pretty women followed tne farm wagons. Airs. G. T. Anthony, Miss Ida Alexander and Mrs. J. C. Fanning were awarded three prizes. A Question and the Answer, At one of the entrances to the main building stands a bale of cotton raised on the Hillside Farm. A placard at tached to the bale reads: "Worth 15 cents. Cost 12% cents tj make it. Selling today at 6 cents. What will we do to make our farms self-sustaining?” A pertinent question. But the answer is at hand. Mr. Hill’s splendid farm products display is the answer. It as complete as the fair itself, though but one of the many displays of its kind. Mr. Hill has been farming only for the past seven years, but he has been farming rather than merely growing cotton. He has only 93 aeres, near Washington. A visit to the Wilkes-Lin coin Fair will convince anyone that he makes these 93 acres produce. In addition to his cotton, Mr. Hill’s dis play includes bales of German millet, oats and vetch, burr clover, pea hull, wheat straw, pea vine, oat straw and peanut hay, haled shucks and stover, corn and many fine varieties, yams, Irish potatoes, peas, sugarcane, pea nuts, popcorn, pumpkins, soy beans, turnips, sorghum, oats, millet, home grown wheat and flour ground from It, home-ground meal, sacks of rye and barley, apples, pears and melons, even brooms, the straw of which was grown and the brooms manufactured at Hill- , side Farm. What Mr. Hill's downstairs displav does not include in the way of house products wil be found in Mrs. Hill's display on the second floor, where a ' wide variety of vegetables and canned I fruits and presetves and pickles are | shown in great abundance. Splendid Yields. In the farm products display from the Tyrone district of Wilkes county are two .bales of cotton —960 pounds of lint —made on one acre by Mr. V O. Darden, who also shows with pride some corn, of which he made SS bushels to the acre. Mr. Herbert Hackney, in the same district, shows corn which yielded 123 2-7 bushels to the acre. , The. Northeast Wilkes Club, the Celeste Club, the Fast Wilkes Club,' the Red Oak Farm, Mr. T. IV Wooten, Mr. W. 1,. Candler and the Red Hill harm, of which Mr. H. G. Garrard is proprietor, arc nmong other exhibitors in the farm products department, all with splendid showings. The Women’s Department. T ljeentiro second floor of the spa - cious exhibits building is given over to tile women of the two counties who have, as l have said, demonstrated that they are as good if not better educators than the men. Mrs. E. A. Harnett is manager of the domestic science department, in which canned goods displays, preser ves, jellies and pickles, bread, cakes and home-made candies, salads, cat sups, sauces and vinegars, cooked , meats, butter and syrups, the splen- I did work of hundreds of housewives, are shown. In this department Mrs. G. T. Anthony displays more than 1, 000 cans of pears, besides other fruits ' canned tit home, and there are several collections in which there are more than half that quantity of canned fruits and vegetables. The Girls' Canning Club, the dis play so large it requires a separate department, makes a magnificent showing with thousands upon thous ands of cans of tomatoes, peachcr., beans, and jars of fruits, [tickles and preserves. Mrs. Rosalie Cllatt is man ager of this excellent department. Under the supervision of Miss Flora Holliday the ladies’ fancy work de partment is a little exposition in itself and a most creditable one; and in the art department the oil paintings, wa ter colors, pastelles. pen and ink work and hand-painted china arc attracting attention. Some excellent work Is shown. Hogs to Go With Hominy. Mr. Cliff McLean has brought to the Wilkes-Lincoln Fair a fine Poland China boar, 22 1-2 months old, weigh ing 600 pounds, and a prize winning sow and pigs two months old. which are attracting more attention for the reason that Poland Chinas have not been raised to any extent in this sec tion. Mr. McLean, who recently came here from the west, has been raising hogs for 16 years and at present is specializing on Poland China. Mr. Austin Barrett is showing his Rerkshires, a boar, sow and eight pigs. Mr. F. W. Derrlcott has an exhibition a Berkshire sow and four pigs four months old, and several hogs of mixed strain, Berkshire and Chester. All the swine shown at the fair Is registered stock. The finest bull in Wilkes county 'a exhibited by Mr. Maxwell MoGee.Of Aberdeen English stock, the bull weighs 1,378 pounds. Races Every Day. The blooded stock of this section Is at. the fair. On Thursday, which will be the big day, a horse show will be held. Every afternon the races on the splendid new half mile track will prove one of the most popular features of this big week in Washington. The poultry show Is complete. This department Is under the supervision of Mr. F. K. Rogers. A Striking Contrast. In striking contrast to the farm wagons loaded with the fat of a fer tile land which made up the parade ; Tuesday morning, one rickety wagon drawn by a bony, poky mule and driven by an old darkey wearing patched clothes, was loaded with a single bale of cotton. Attached to the bale was a placard, the wording of which pointed the moral to adorn this tale. It read: "I raise all cotton. Marne Ed Bar- I nett and Marse J. T. Lindsey feed me THE AUGUSIA HERALD.

Indicates Land of Plenty. The man who raises all cotton has no place at the Wilkes-Lincoln Fair. The agricultural show is far bette this year, I am informed, than in preceding years. Farmers of Wilkes and Lincoln counties have been pros pering and now, in spite of low-price cotton and financial depression, are In excellent condition, self-sustaining, with plenty of foodstuffs and plenty of feedstuffs and . pantries and smoke houses filled with home products and home raised meats, if this fair is a true indication of conditions as they prevail hereabouts. If such a (ondltlon is not general throughout Wilkes and Lincoln coun ties. the fair is serving a most excel lent purpose. It is hardly poslhle that of all the farmers of the two coun ties only those who are making these splendid exhibits are In position (o do so. But showing, nevertheless, what can be accomplished through di versified farming, showing what can be made to take the place of cotton at least until after the European war Is ended and normal conditions have ! been restored throughout the world, t the fair is the finest and the most effectual object lesson imaginable, and as has been said, “the most splendid | five days educational course" possible I for the people of this section to lake. I Moreover, the attendance Is good, long strings of buggies, wagons and teams of all kinds were pouring into Washington before the fair opened Tuesday morning. A Vital Factor. More than $2,500 Is offered in pro mlnms, the bankers and merchants of Washington co-operating heartily with the fair association, of which Mr. Ed Barnett is president, Mr. L. H. Ward, vice-president; Mr. O A. Oreon, treasurer, and Mr .1. Luke Burdett, secretary. Mr. Burdett is also gener.l manager of the fair and deserves much credit for what he has accomp lished in directing the gathering to gether of the magnificent displays to he seen here. The Wilkes-Lincoln Fair 's generally recognized here ns a vital factor In the promotion of Im proved agriculture. Home Coming Week, In addition to the fair this Is Home f’orriing Week for former residents of Washington and Wilkes county. Ev erybody has been asked to Invite friends and relatives to come hack home and enjoy tile merrymaking, for this Is likewise gala week and many pleasurable events have been plan ned. Each nigtit during fair week old fashioned tournaments will be held In the glare of cotton-boll bon fires. The free attractions at the fair grounds, not the least of which Is the "flying machine,” are attractive, entertaining or amusing Each day the program Includes a si reel parade Wednesday morning a magnificent horseback parade, In whin more than one hundred couples rode, passed through the streets. Thursday there will bn a parade of decorated automobiles, and Friday, Children's Day, the corn club boys, the canning club girls and the school children will pass In review be fore their elders. Thursday Augusta Day. The fair association authorities and the people of Washington are expect ing a large representation from Au gusta on Thursday, which has been designated "Augusta Day," and for which time the best of everything has been reserved, All who come will find awaiting them a warm welcome, s most excelp nt shots', In fset one of the most complete county lairs with all Its sttraetlons and Its profitable and Interesting exhibits, and no excuses for excuses seem to to- about the onlv , things Hist are not to be found here,! end that Is explained because there Is no need of them.
