JAMES FRAN: THE AGRICULTURAL DMSSPLEliD INvalry Between Various Agri cultural Clubs Exceedingly Keen and Interest Is Intense. Augusta, Ga.-The agricultural dis? play at the Georgia-Carolina Fair, which will be held in Augusta, No vember 6 to ll, will be the biggest fea ture at the fair to the majority of attendants. The competition in this department will be strong. The vari ous elub and individual exhibits' will oren surpass those at the fall fair .'lera last year. The agricultural dis play at the fair this year will be in all larger than last year and in every respect it ls expected to be finer. The live stock exhibits will be unusually good, and it ls already known that several fine animals-above the ordi nary-will be on exhibit There ara always a very large number of en tries in this line and especially good .how is expected this fall. The superintendent of the agricultu ral exhibits at the coming fair. Mr. J. M. Westbrook of Beech Island, ls re* ceiving Inquiries nearly every day in regard to entries and rules governing the department of agriculture at the fair. His assistant, Dr W. E. Meal ing of North Augusta, is also answer ing .questions about the agricultural exhibits at the fair this year. Doctor Mealing is a student o? agriculture, The Cattle Show at the Georj All Previo is ready to Inform any one about mat ters regarding tho exhibits in his de partment There will be a large number pf Blub exhibits at the fair among which ire the Meriwether, Schultz' Hill, Clark's Hill, Beech Island and the Richmond County Agricultural Soci ety. The club exhibits are the most Interesting part of this line of the (air. The Richmond County Agricul tural Society's exhibit will be a new one. It did not compete for the prizes at the fall fair last year, but rt will be "right there" thia year. An other fine exhibit this year will be that of the Georgia and Florida rail way, showing the products of the "wi re gr ass country." Their exhibit at the last fair was splendid and was complimented on all sides. Some of the finest products raised In this Bee tle n are grown along the Une of the Georgia and Florida railway. The individual agricultural exhibits st the coming fair will be even better Chan those o? last year. There will be many and the -competition among them is going to be keen. By now those who Intend to, make exhibits In the coming lair realize that they have got to put out a display a great deal better than they had at the fair the year before in order to successful ly compete with the other exhibitors. Every exhibitor, no doubt realizes this, and the consequence is that each year these exhibits are much im proved. It will be of interest to agricultural exhibitors that a scale of points as to merit will bo used in Judging the agricultural exhibit this year.
