How A (Community
Fair Helps Farmers
From The Progressive Farmer: |
Our experience in Ingold community
has convinced us of the great
value of community fairs, and I wish
the people in every Southern country \l
neighborhood could be made to see
how they stimulate progress. 1
As an example; John Smith has on
exhibition at the community fair
some very fine corn, cotton, peanuts,
soy beans, clover, etc. Tom Brown ^
does not carry an exhibit to the fair, r
but late that day he goes to see what b
the others are doing, and is very v
much surprised to see his neighbor's ^
exhibit. So he begins to que^ion c
him. 1,
Question: "Smith, where did you
set this corn?" 8
Answer: "I grew it on a clover s
;od." ^
Q.: "Who sent you this cotton?" n
A.: "I grew it too, Brown, and ev- ^
jrything on exhibtion grew on my ^
iiace.
Q.: "What are these bumps on
;hese peanut and bean roots?" h
A.: "Nitrogen, gathered from the ei
lir." t<
Q.: "Now, Smith, tell me how you
?rew these crops. Your land isn't '
?ny better than mine and I never 1(
lave grown any corn or cotton to
:ompare with yours here, no, not on
ny best spots.
A.: "Well, Brown, you know a few s1
fears ago I bought a two-horse plow n
ind when I began to turn up the clay b
fou thought my soil was ruined, but n
t wasn't. And the experiment men "
were saying plant legumes and I 5"'
.ried them. They said there are milions
of pounds of nitrogen above ev- ^
jry acre of our land and the legumes
rather and deposit it in our soil. My n
:rops have grown better every year t]
ind I am convinced the Agricultural fi
Department is right. Then, Brown, d
[ have been following their instruc- ci
ions as to seed selection and I find
ny crops produce more fruit." a
The result is that Brown, seeing M
vhat it has done for Smith, goes
ionic and plants some clover and jj
retch and next spring plants some j,
>eans, peas and peanuts to see if it t?
..ill Uta / ??t?m ft
(Yin I^IIlUUCIl Alio xailtl. II
There is a beautiful example of this
n our community. We have held a
,wo community fairs, in 1914 and v
1915. There were fall-grown irish *
jotatoes on exhibit each year. Sevsral
had them in 1915 and if we hold R
i fair in 1916 nearly evry family in \
he community will exhibt fall-grown y
rish potatoes. Some one may say b
t isn't educational. Lets see. Farmers
inquire how to prepare the land v
"or these fall-grown potatoes, how to q
fertilize, when to plant, and how to n
succeed in growing them; they have
earned how and are growing them p
successfully. The same thing is true g
)f soy beans, velvet beans, peanuts h
ind clover. c
I have in mind a man who came ?
o our fair in 1914 in the afternoon.
He saw the pure-bred pigs and in ^
1915 he put on exhibiton a Duroc t
sow and pigs that won first premium. p
rhis sow was the first pure-bred hog tl
le had ever owned. He studied the t
jroper methods of feeding and atten- t
ion and learned quite a good deal n

lone others are doing. t)
Then the women at the fairs with (1
.heir counterpanes, quilts, fancy tl
,vork, cooking, etc., learn lessons that u
uld beauty to the home as well as a
ncrease the health of the community s
jy learning to prepare meals better. ?
It is a good social gathering where "
leighbor meets neighbor and they c
spend the day exchanging ideas and (j
*o home better equipped to aid in f
community development. d
The community fair is one of the a
neans by which the educators are s
jringing about a new era. It has al
eady dawned, for new and better "
nethods are supplanting the old, and (
gnorance and superstition are giv- c
ng place to intelligence and progress, f

VHEN HIS HELPER WENT MAD.
The Struggle For Life In Midair and
the Lucky Incident That Enabled
Merrill to Overcome the Cunning
Lunatlo In Hie Death Grapple.
In Cleveland Moffett'a "Careers of
)anger and Daring" la this Incident of
eal life that wua told to Mr. Moffett
y Merrill, the famous steeplejack, to
rhoin It occurred:
"Did you ever have an impulse to
ump off a steeple?" I questioned, reailing
the sensations of many people
11 looklug down even from a housetop.
"I've kept pretty free from that,"
aid he, "but there's no doubt tllmblng
teeples does tell on a man's nerves,
low, there was Dun O'Brien. lie had
n Impulse to jump off a steeple ono
uy anu u strong impulse too. He
rent mad on one of the tallest spires
I Cincinnati, right at the top of It."
"Went mad?"
"Yes, sir, raving mad, nnd I was by
Im when It happened. I forget whethr
the church was Baptist or Presbytia
n. but 1 know It stood on Sixth
treet, near Vino, and there was a big
and on top of the steeple with the
jrellnger pointing to heaven.
"We were putting fresh gilding on
lis hand. I was working on the
lunih side nnd O'Brien on the little
nger side, both of us standing on tiny
tagings about the size of a chair seat
ud both of us made fast to the steeple
y life lines under our arms. That's
II absolute rule in climbing steeples?
ever to do the smallest thing unless
ou're secured by a life line.
"It was coming on dark, and I was
urrying to get the gold leaf on, beause
we'd given the hand a fresh
oat of sizing that would be dry before
loming. We hadn't spoken for some
me, when suddenly 1 heard a laugh
rom O'Brien's side that sedt a shiver
own my spine. Did you ever hear a
razy man laugh? Well, If ever you
o you'll remember It. I looked at him
nd saw by his face that something
ras wrong.
" 'What nre you doing?* said I.
"lie answered very polite and steady
ke, but his tone was queer. 'I'm trylg
to figure out how long It would
ike a man to get down if he went the
istest way.'
"1 thought I had better keep him In
good humor, so I said. 'I'll tell you
rhat. Dan. you brnce up nnd get this
old on, nnd then we'll race to the
round In our saddles.'
" 'That's n fair idea,' said he In a
brill voice, 'bllt I've cot n Unttnr nno
S'e'll race down without nny saddles;
es, sir, without any lines, without a
lamed thing*'
" 'Don't be a fool, Dan. What you
rant to do is to get thnt gold on?
nick.' 1 tried to speak sharp.
" 'No, sir; I'm going to jump, and so
re yon.'
"1 caught his eye Just then and saw
t wasn't any time to bother about
old leaf. I reached up and eased the
itch of my line around the hand so I
ould swing toward him. 1 knew if 1
nee got my grip on him he wouldn't
anke any more trouble. But I'd never
ad a crazy man to deal with, and I
idn't realize how tricky nnd quick
hey are. While I was working around
r> his side and thinking he didn't noIce
it he was laying for me out of
ho corner of his eye, and the first
hing I knew he had me by the throat
nd everything was turning black. I
it go of the line and dropped back
n my saddle board helpless, and If It
adn't been for blind luck I guess the
eople down below would have got
heir money's worth In nbout a minte.
Hut my hand struck the tool box
s he pressed nie back, and I had Just
trcngth enough left to shut my fingers
n the first tool I touched and strike
t him with it. The tool happened to
ie a monkey wrench, nnd when a man
ets a clip on the head with a thing
ike that lie's pretty apt to keep still
or awhile. And that's what O'Brien
id. lie keeled over nnd lay there,
ml I did, too. until my head got
teadv. Even then I guess we'd both
iavo fallen If It hadn't hw>n for the
Ife linos.
"The rest was simple enough after
got my senses hack. Dan was unonseious,
and all 1 had to do was
nstcn a rope to him and lower awny.
'hey took enre of lilm down below
ntll the ambulance came, and he
pent that night In a hospital. And
o's spent most of his years since then
1 an asylum, his mind all gone except
or short periods, when he comes to
imself again, and then he always
tarts out to put an end to me. That
?st impulse to destroy me has never
