BENEFITS OF COUNTY FAIR.
Stimulates Better Agriculture And HOrti-
culture In The County.

cation, College of Agriculture FayetteVe, Ar
kansas.)
The people Of Hot Springs and
Garland county deserve much
credit for the energy and deter
mination they have put into the
State Fair. Although the State
has not given aid to the State
Fair and the people have not
heretofore given the Association
the support it deserves, it has
been a factor in our agricultural
development. One reason why
cur people have not fully appre-
ciated the value of the State Fair
is because there are so few coun-
ty fairs in the State. The State
Fair is in a measure dependent
upon the county fair. The coun-
ty fair is in more intimate touch
with the people in the rural dis
tricts where the fair should do
the greatest good. The county
seat, where the fair is usually
located, is generally easily reach 4
ed. Exhibits can be arranged
and cost little to be delivered at
the county fair. Farmers and
their families can come to the
county fair with but little ex-
pense. 1t is often convenient to
drive to town and camp during
the fair.
When the county fair is over it
is an easy matter to collect the
best of the county exhibit and
take it to the State Fair. With a
large exhibit transportation is
cheaper; much Of the undesira-
Bile products can be eliminated
and the exhibits easily and
quickly installed at tho State
Fair.
The county fair stimulates bet
ter agriculture and horticulture
in the county. II starts a senti-
ment Of emulation that causes
the farmer and orchardist to
grow more and better products.
When once he sees a fine Jona-
than Apple that was grown by
neighbor Brown, Smith is no
longer contented to grow an in
ferior Horse Apple. When he
sees fine corn, cotton, potatoes,
wheat, oats and hay grown on
land that is no better than his
own, he concludes that it is a re-
suit OF better cultivation, selec-
ton and fertilization, We do
not like to admit that our neigh.
bors are better farmers than we,
hence when we see him succeed
in a special line, we want to try
it ourselves.
The fair always encourages
breeding better live stock. Just
why we should be contented to
feed an Arkansas "Razorback"
when we can have Poland China,
Birkshire, Durock and Tamworth
is hard to answer. Perhaps it is
because 80 many Of our people
have not had tho opportunity to
see good swine. II all our stock
men could havo seen the "Fat
Stock Show" at Fort Worth,
Texas, last spring the old "range
COW" and "raw. bone steer"
would have no place in their
herds. Boys and girls like fine
stock and when thoy SEQ fine
show animals at the fair they are
not oontented until they have
some Of their own, The county
fair would be worth millions OF
dollars to the livestock and dairy
industries in this state in u few
years,
The fair ia o great factor in,
dlgnifying and exalting labor,
Here the various articles made
by men, women and children are
on exhibition. How proud the
