Nov msNtslM pMmsNsm fss Of Her 0wn--A Sc
hsss Suggestion 10 The Serious Minded Bsusv0s
In The PotsNts Posslblltss OF The County

The state fairs ana the county fairs
are either . thing NJ the past ~ are IN
full swing a. present for the current
year. The attention Of the managers
and directors OF the fairs already held
are being directed % the fairs for
next year. The directors OF the fairs
now 10 full swing are also looking 10
the same way. The fairs, as q whole,
for the current year have proven su-
perlor 10 every detail TO the fairs Of
the years that have gone, and every
energy will be directed towards max.
log the fairs for 1919 even greater and
more successful.
Jackson county has, every year for
the past seven years that she has had
an exhibit at the great state fair at
Jackson, proven the banner county Of
the state. She has vast wildernesses
OF cutover lands yet undevelUped.
This land is fully as productive az the
land that has been put under cultiva.
tion. The potential possibilities Of
her cut.over land cannot be correctly
esti mated by even her most partisan
bOusters.
There are several colonization CON-
panies at work developing the cut
over land OF the county. These com.
panies, in themselves, are capable Of
providing the nucleus OF f1rst class
fair. Hundreds Of Northern and
Northwestern settlers have been
brought into the county BY these com.
pa0ies. In the coming few years
thousands Ut additional homeseekers
will be brought into the interior OF
the county. As the country progress.
~ 90 must its towns and cities be
benefited. The cities without an ln-
dependent payroll are absolutely at
the mercy OF the productiveness OF the
surrounding country. With the In
dependent pay rolls, these cities are
cO-jointly dependent upon the sur
rounding country for subsistence.
HOMESEEKERS COMING.
With the advent Of the Fall months,
as they are known and recognized 10
the South, h0meseekers from the
North and Northwest flock to the
Southland 10 search OF something bet
ter than they have at home. That
the entire South is in possession Of
these better things goes witout saying.
That Jackson county has them 10
greater abundance than any other
section OF the South is the claim ad.
vanced by4local people, and this claim,
ID the face OF the evidence that is
continually being provided, appears
to be reasonable one. In compe:i.
tIon with every county 10 the state,
at least 10 open competition, Jackson
county has carried OF the first prize
each year at the state fair. There IL
no necessity going behind these re-
ports and sh0wings.
BY concentrating every effort on
gigantic county fair, not q two-by'
foug proposition, hut real fair en-
bracIng every possible product Of the
county with unvarnisbed facts ant
figures to back these up. the home
seekers from the frozen parts OF tht
nation Will be shown such display
that they cannot but help be i'm
pressed with the actualities abound
ing 10 jackson county. To the uortf
OF thls county is the new county o.
Ge0rge, wonderfully productive
county. Co operation BY the twt
counties would tend to create fall
that would rival anything the state
~ a whole, may be able to provide
and the product would be from com
parativcly small area.
