The Iuka vidette. (Iuka, Miss.) 1894-1912, 1909-08-12

Northwestern States are conducting such
fairs, and | believe by so doing they are,
for every dollar they are spending, bring
ing to the people one dollars worth of
information that could not be secured in
any other way.
"Now, wish to ask why the citizens
of the balance of our Southeastern
States are to be denied this privilege the
citizens of our sister States are en- Joy
ing? Are agriculture and stock growing
of so little Importance in these States
as to merit less consideration than is
shown them in those adjoining? We
should hardly think so when so per cent.
of our citizens are engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits. Are we so far advanced
in the science of agriculture and stock
breeding as that we do not need the
help and inspiration a first-class State
fair would bring to the doors of our
people? Let our average crop yield, the
condition of our soils, and the woefuhy
poor quality of our live stock answer.
lie. Farm Products Be the Feature of the
Fairs.
"What we want, my people, is an
agricultural fair, not a meeting place of
the greatest aggregation of leg shows
ever seen on earth,' and few horse races
thrown in, to take out of the pockets of
our citizens what few pennies the shows
and skin games have failed to lift. The
purpose of an agricultural fair, it has
always seemed to me, is to teach-by the
exhibition of products-better methods
of agriculture and stock growing, and
not to teach our boys and men the latest
thing in the gambling line, or to appeal
to their worst natures with all the tricks
of harlotry under the guise of amuse-
ments. Let us have in each of our
Southeastern States an agricultural ex-
hibition each year that is worthy the
name of State Fair, making the prime
object of these fairs the enlightenment
and education of all-all are dependent
on, and so ought to be interested in,
agricultural development-and results
will follow that will benefit the people
of our section to the amount of ten
times the cost.
Have Shows That Will Inspire Better
Farming.
sAsk the farmers of each State to
bring in their agricultural exhibits, guar
anteeing them a square deal, giving them
to know that a straight, home-produced
agricultural exhibit viii not be forced to
compete with an exhibit purchase here
and there all over the country and
brought for the sole purpose of captur-
ing the premium money. Then let us
have some good horse races if you will,
but remember that cattle, hogs and
sheep and draft horses and mules will
be worth one hundred times as much to
the people of the State as the race
horses are worth or ever will be, and give
the utility breeds of stock the premium
money that their value to the State
warrants.
sThe State Fair should be handled by
the State as are the best farms, places
where out citizens may go for instruc-
ton, first, then for clean recreation, tax

Better Understanding May Result from

Washington, Oct. 26.-The probable
result of the assassination of Ito will
be an indefinite postponement of
negotiations regarding railroad condi-
tions in Manchuria, which have so ac-
lively engaged the foreign offices of
the powers since Aug. 81, the date of
the signature of the treaty between
China and Japan, which practically
clothed the latter country with author
ity to dictate the future construction of
railroads in southern Manchuria. When
these negotiations are resumed, after
a reasonable period of mourning, it
may be that the Japanese government
will find itself in a position to come
into closer accord with the understands
ing of the powers. and especially
America, regarding the exact meaning
to be given that part of the treaty OF

on the dispatch Counselor Yamaza, Of

find Koreans in the crowd. There were

The outrage is regarded here as
wholly political, tho this single act of

very popular.
