ONE OBJECT is TO
DOUBLE FARM VALUES
Besides Affording Week of Whole
some Recreation Tennessee State
Fair Helps the Farmer In
crease His Bank Account.

To double farm values in Tennessee
isn's such monumental task as 1t
sounds-it's principally question OF the
adoption of more up-to-date methods OF
farming and the recognition of the value
of live stock to the land as well as to
the owners bank account.
1t is to the preaching Of these princi-
Piles and illustrating and demonstrating
their truth that the county and State
fairs Of the South are largely devoted.
The Tennessee State Fair, which will be
held at Nashville during the week of
September 1925 is by far the largest
and best equipped Southern exponent OF
this idea Not only has this fair offered
premium list calling for over $4,000 in
cash, but in every department the idea
of teaching and demonstrating with the
help of the exhibits has been put to
practical use. In the poultry depart
ment, for instance, there will be free
stereopticon lecture given several times
each day by government experts; then
out in front of the entrance on raised
platform the Judges WILL at certain hours
each day, score the birds publicly, eX-
planning with each step WHY this bird
scores less than that one and HOW to
remedy the defect.
Thus the fair is not only an exhibit
ton, but it has as we'll the essential ele-
ments of a short course at an agricul-
tural school-eXcepting that the patrons
of the fair get the benefit of over $1O,-
5000 worth of free amusement features
including the prize band of America, fire.
works every night, six big outdoor acts
etc, etc. Thus the visitor gets whole
some recreation as well as money-mak'
ing ideas.

BIG GUUD nvADo
MEETING AT NASHVILLE
State Officials and State Fair Prepar-
ing to Put Strength Behind the
Movement in Tsnnessee-Ex
perts VIII Demonstrate.

]
Nashville Having enlisted in the
good roads movement the Tennessee
State Fair will go at it tooth and toe
nails with the purpose of making Good
Roads Day" Wednesday, September -,
an inspiration that will result in the CON
structiou of improved highways in every
part of the South.
Recognizing that good roads not only
pay for themselves, but place the farm
ers in a position to add rapidly to their
wealth the fair management will en-
deavor to arouse enthusiasm to the point
of ACTION; but the matter will not stop
here-there will be demonstrations Of
the best methods and government ex-
perts will tell how these methods may
be adapted to any given conditions.
1T has invariably been the counties
that have not been timid about providing
good roads that have progressed most
rapidly, and in which more peple are in
dependent" says an East Tennessee pa
per editorially, citing Hamblen county,
whose capital is Morristown, as an ex-
ample.
Hamblen county recently voted $780,
600 in bonds to extend its system Of
good roads. That county bad already
provided partial system of pixies few
years ago, and since that time the value
of lands has already more than doubled,
while the county has made a rapid ad-
vance as truck farming section.
With this object lesson proving the
soundness of the good roads theory, the
people were ready and willing 10 assume
the responsibilities of bond issue in
order to get the benefits or a more COM
presensive system.
The "Good Roads Day" at the State
Fair will come during a good roads con-
ference, which has been called by the
Governor to meet at the State capital
September 81, and which will be in
session several days, and the fair man
agement will cooperate with the State
officials in getting for the people of the
South the very best results-results that
will help to make a more comfortable
and more prosperous Tennessee.
Delegates to the conference have been
appointed by all of the county courts
and most of the mayors throughout Ten
nessee, and about $50 for the State at
large have been appointed by the Gov
ernor-altogether there will be present
nearly 1000 delegates and alternates.
Among the good roads advocates who
will address the conference are ?. st.
John Wilson, State Highway Commits
sioner of Virginia; Sam c. Lancaster Of
Jackson, Tenn, one of the United States
governments corps of experts. Besides
these there will be numerous other speak
ers and demonstrators equipped with the
necessary apparatus for giving graphic
Illustrations along with their talks on
means and methods
This good roads conference and the CO.
operative work of the State Fair will
do much toward creating and sustaining
interest in improvement of highways

Acting as clerk of the council, the

department Mr.. Duelke has received a
salary amounting to $500. While the
duty of the water clerk Is not onerous
he will be relieved of this and the SAL
airy the first of the year. and his regu-
lar salar yis fixed at $500 for 1910.

He is not asking for an increase, but
merely for additional help, as he and

one office girl between them. Her time
is largely given over to that Of the city
controllers department.
Whether Mr.. Duelke is entitled to
additional help is a matter for investi-
cation by competent committee, as he
himself suggested. and the friends of
both sides would have seen a better
settlement of the question by this
method.
There is no doubt about one thing, IT
is pointed out, that people who have
had occasion to go to the city hall
have found Mr.. Duelke always busy
