What does interest me about these little trick playgrounds is that the worst one I ever saw is such an improvement over the organized as to provide the dis trict meetings every year prior to the State meetings. The teachers of this district met in Anderson last year and due to the facilities available there and the central lo cation, it was again selected as the place for the annual meeting. Teachers and educational au thorities of renown in this section are on the program announced by Mr. Camak.

W. Morgan, county agent, who states that at the present time the market price on the northern markets is too low to try to ship, and there is very little prospect for a change before the Thanksgiving season. New York prices October 22 were as follows: Hens, colored 20 to 23c lb. Leghorn hens 15 to 17c lb. Fryers, colored 19 to 20c lb. Fryers, Leghorn —.— 15 to 16c lb. Old Roosters 15c Turkeys 25 to 30c lb. Figuring our carlot prices around At a late hour the meeting ad- 7 to 8 cents per pound lower than these prices, this reduction to take care of the cost of riding the poul try to the markets, one can read ily see that the* prices would not justify a shipment at this time. However, Mr. Morgan says he will keep in close touch with the markets, and arrange a shipment as soon as the prices justify one. Savannah commission merchants quoted the following listed prices loumed. x Revival Service At A. R. P.

Eighty club calves were exhibited —17 from Newberry, 15 from Ches ter, 15 from Fairfield, three from Colleton, seven from Lancaster, five from Dorchester, four from Greenwood, three from Aiken, nine from Saluda, and two from Rich land. In the 4-H pig club show there were this year 125 pigs as compar ed with 84 last year* and the counties represented, Dorchester, Jasper, Newberry, Fairfield, Rich land, Lexington, Colleton, Darling ton. cover a wider range of the state than heretofore. Outstanding in the sheep bams at the State Fair was the exhibit of the Fairfield county 4-H sheep club which had 15 sheep on dis play, and which took its fair share of the prizes in the open classes, as well as in the 4-H club classes, the total prizes won by this club being $125. The 4-H livestock judging con test held at the State Fair bet- •ween the judging teams previously I selected - by competition to repre sent the three districts was won by She team from the Piedmont dis trict, consisting of David Tanner. Greenville county; and Robert Lemmon and John Patrick, Fair- field county.

As in dividuals David Tanner was high scorer with 875 pointy and Robert Lemmon next with 87b points. The Savannah Valley district team consisted of Everett Kneece and Searle Thomas, Aiken county; and Charles Searson, Hampton county.

The Fair grounds where the gi gantic exhibition is to take place is a busy place these days with crews of workmen busy erecting tents and exhibit houses. The grounds are ready now to receive the large group of midway attractions and exhibit tents as soon' as they.arrive in the city and according to J. A. Mitchell, Secre tary of the Fair Association, the *Fair City' will begin to take shape this week end. The free set and band stands have already been completed and spaces have been laid off for all the midway at tractions and exhibit tents. In the meaptime, Mr. Mitchell with a corps of assistants is taking care to see that everyone in this section of the South knows about the Fair. With billboards scattered throughout the whole . section, through newspapers and other sources, the Fair has been given wide publicity. Only recently a series of radio programs from sta tions WBT Charlotte and WTFI at Toccoa, Ga., have told thousands of the gigantic agricultural and merchandising exhibit. Every indication points to one of the greatest Fairs in the history of the exhibition. The anticipated attendance of not less than 150,000 and with promises of the best Fair with something doing every minute, the feature attractions is being awaited by thousands throughout the whole section. The exhibition will open Tues day morning, November 4th at 9 o’clock and will close Saturday night, November 8th. During these five days, every feature of progress and growth in this section will be exhibited to the thousands who at tend. txi Card Of Thanks I’m not so sold on the game, and I’m not interested in how much can be made out of them in money, fun or anything else; but I do say this—give me a Pewee golf course every time rather than a vacant lot full of tin cans, broken home brew bottles, ragweed, thistles, non-descript signs and billboards, and other junk.
