STIMULUS
TO FARM INDUSTRY
TENNESSEE STATE FAIR Elk
ERTS IMMENSE INFLUENCE
FOR PROSPERITY.
Responsible for the Increased Inter
est in Improved Live Stock
and Better Farming
Methods.

As an object lesson-a school which
reflects the ingenuity, enterprise and en-
ergy of the people of any given commun-
ity or section-the "fair" has come to
be recognized as one of the few always
effective means of encouraging progress
The present-day fair has an education
al value incalculable and its exhibits dis
play the intelligence, industry and spirit
of the whole people within its sphere Of
influence.
In Tennessee the various county fairs
and the State Fair work together har-
moniously, cooperating to make a bet
ter State and a more prosperous people
"a condition which results in growth
and more universal recognition of the
money value of annual exhibitions OF
this kind.
State and county fairs are undoubted-
ly the most profitable investment posi-
BILE for the betterment and advancement
of sail the people" creating as they do
Unreasonable Observation-Disclosures in
bigger and better crops, dividends in
improved stock, dividends in increased
value of agricultural lands, dividends in
practical information and education, and
dividends, too, in the entertainment and
social features.
The policy of the Tennessee State
Fair management in making each depart
ment regular school for the teaching OF
the best farming methods has done more
| than anything else to increase the wealth
of the individual farmers who have come
within the fairs influence since 1905.
In this school the farmers of Tennes
see and other Southern States have
learned practical lessons that have helped
| them to live better and to market better
stock, better crops of hay, corn, fruit
better poultry, better dairy products
better everything. The improvement il
the quality of the States products from
| year to year is made plain in the exhib
| its and is constant, automatic inspira
ton to the farmers of the South.
At the State Fair the stockman car
see and learn to know the good points O
the various breeds of cattle, sheep, swin'
and horses.
This feature of the Tennessee Stat
Fair has undoubtedly done more THAI
any other medium within the last few
years in upbuilding the live stock inter
ests of the South. 1t has furnished tn
inspiration that has proven a powerful
stimulus in bringing Tennessee into he
own as a live stock State.
The slogan of the State Fair is "Ten
nessee's resource in miniature" and it
ideal Is well expressed in the trite bu
truthful phrase-"production counts
not acres"
