AS TO TUM COUNTY FAIR. Meeting Hold Monday-Committee Appointed to Solicit Subscriptions. There wore a numbor of gentle men from tho county In Wallinna Monday attending tho meeting in the interest of organizing a County Fair Association, and some preliminary work was advancod. The progress made In subscrip tions to tho capital stock was not en tirely encouraging, but still there were evident signs of activity In so mo quarters, and lt ls felt that tho pros pects for a really encouraging re port are good. Tho soliciting com mittee will meet at Walhalla on Fri day of next week, July 29th, to re port the success of their efforts, and lt ls hoped that not only the commit teemen, but all who feel an Interest in the county ?air proposition, will attend this meeting. M. G. Holland, of tho demonstra tion work, was present at the meet ing last Monday and acted as chair man, whllo J. H. Harnett was chosen I as secretary. Ira W. Williams, State agent of tho demonstration work of tho general government, was present and made a short talk on the lines of agriculture, and as to tho advantages of a county fair as relat ed to tho agricultural and general In terests of tho county. It was very gratifying to hear bim make the broad statement that tho crops in Oconee, as far as he had seen, aro better than In any other county in the State, and. ho added further, "I would rather live in Oconee county than In any other section I have vis ited." Ho was carried away with the climate of this section, and our possibilities as ah agricultural sec tion, he said, aro unlimited. Coining down to the matters moro directly Interesting to tho meeting Mr. Williams said that he knew of no ono thing that could bo of more benefit to the farming portion of the county's population than a county fair, which ls an educator and a practical demonstrator combined in one, and he was glad to see that the people of Oconee had taken hold of the matter, lt ls worth pushing for everything lt ls worth, and lt is worth everything. It ls an absolute necessity as an educator, a broad ener and an advertiser. Mr. Williams noted marked Im provements along tho lines of gene ral farm work In Oconee, and was pleased with the visible results of the farm demonstration work as ex hibited In the growing crops. Ho illustrated the great good this work is accomplishing by relating an ex perience he had at his old home tn Georgia. Going to lils old home a few years ago he found his brother plodding along In the old way, mak ing anywhere from 10 to 15 bushels of corn to the acre, and he mapped out a plan for tho cultivation of a small section on the farm for the fol lowing year. The plan was followed, and on the demonstration section tho yield averaged from 80 to 100 bush els of corn to the acre. Tho general effect has been marvelous, ho said. Farmers from the neighborhood saw what had been done, they adopted Uie advanced methods, and to-day the rule In that section of Georgia ts from 80 to 100 bushels of corn to the acre, and tho exception is the old-time 10 to 15 bushels. Ile used these facts to Illustrate ono of the great features of a county fair. You can tell a man what you have done, and be may not beHove it, and con sequently he pays no attention to your nd vice; but whon you show him the actual process and results he is bound to believe lt, and if ho ls a reasonable man ho will take the lesson and apply lt. Tho county fair will demonstrate what can be dono, and lt will show what has boon dono, and the bonoflt will bo moro than we can oven imagine. By all moans, he .said, have a county fair, and have a good one. Some Reports Were Made, but they were not all that could be desired, tho subscription lists not having been generally signed up by citizens. From those reporting lt was found that only 126 shares of stock had been subscribed for, but lt was evident that no special effort had been ruado in general to raise the stock. H. L. Verner, of the Retreat section, presented a list showing subscriptions amounting to about $350. These wore In small amounts, scattered over a strictly farming section, lt ls just such lists as these that will Insure the success of the county fair proposition. When gen eral interest ls manifested by the farming portion of the population the people in the towns aro going to come down with their part. That at tlrst glance may look like a very selfish position to take, but lt ls not In reality so. What kind of a county fair can the people of a town have without the Interest and co-op eration of the farmers? A town I fair would be absolutely worthless, for the primary object of a fair ls to exploit the products of tho farm, tho dairy, ibo poultry yard, tho stock that Is raised on the farm, etc. Committee to Solicit. After some discussion of the mat ter it was decided to appoint a com mittee, consisting of ll, to canvass generally by townships, for subscrip tions to tho capital stock of the County Fair Association, and tho fol lowing gentlemen were* appointed to serve: Ctuter Township-- T.
