$4,000 N PREMIUMS
FOR THE STATE FAIR.
For Best County Display
200 and Best Individ-
ual Exhibit $3.50.

With view of promoting the agri-
cultural interests of the State to a
higher degree than they have ever
been before, officials Of the Georgia
State Fair have greatly increased the
value of their premiums for the 1911
attraction, hoping thereby that the
farmers will prepare especially fine
crops with view of making entries.
The premium list this year will con-
tain more classes than ever before and
the aggregate value of the prizes offer
ed will be more than $4,000, sum
considerably larger than that offered
by any other State Fair in the South.
Among the new classes entered are
brood mares, mules, and many special
varieties of fruits. More than $1,000
has been offered for poultry and pi-
geon classes.
1t has been the purpose of the Fair
officials to add classes which will be
especially attractive to the smaller
and it is hoped that many will avail
themselves of the opportunity to COM
pete for some of the fine premiums.
Secretary Harry Robert, who can be
addressed at Macon, Ga, will be glad
to send the new premium list post
paid upon request.
Especial attention has been given to
county exhibits and the following
prizes are offered
For the best, most complete and
most artistically arranged county
agricultural display, $1,000.
For the second best, $500.

Illinois Central Plans to
Aid Work of Reclamation

"Louisiana's swamp lands will SUP
port a population of nearly 5000. 900
people when they are reclaimed and
properly titled, and the Illinois Cen
trail railroad intends to see that these
millions of dormant acres are brought
into fertility within a comparatively
short time"
This declaration by prominent
Illinois Central official who was in the
South recently has placed the stamp
OF approval on a project that should
lie close to the heart of every Louisi-
anan, because 1t affects not only his
own prosperity, but that of his state
as whole. Louisiana, with an acre
age of 100000. has approximately
only 100000 acres under cultivation.
and the balance, much of it already
high and needing little to make 1t
ready for the pillow, stands idle.
"The government is interested in
the reclamation of the arid lands OF
the West and Southwest" continued
the railroad official. The reclama-
ton law that makes this work posi-
BILE may without any change be made
applicable to the swamp lands of the
South. To prove this is true. il Is only
necessary to turn to the Klamath
Falls, Oregon, project. where lake
is being drained that the acres under
lying 1t may be brought into bearing

them what they really could do IL
they worked together and the lesson
thus learned will never be forgotten.
"A spirit of harmony pervaded the
meetings held and this harmony and
good fellowship that prevailed is now
