TO SHOW HOW TO
CUT LIVING COST
This Will Be Big Feature of the
Michigan State. Fair. Says
President Aitken

Every scientist agrees that to ef-
fectively reduce the cost of living the
production must be increased" said
d. d. Aitken. president OF the Michi.
gan State fair. today.
This being granted, 1t is obvious
that to accomplish Il. measures for
increasing the yield must be shown
the producers. Every means of ef.
fecting this end. aside from actual
demonstration, have proven failures.
Demonstration OF ways and means of
improved farming has been OF imme-
date benefit In enlarging the annual
yield.
Demonstration work IL the mis-.
sion of the Michigan State fair. and
just how we'll 1t performs Its mission
IL up to its patrons.
I'VE may secure all the best experts
and the most modern devices for
scientific farming, give suggestions
as to land rotation and its good, an
alyze soil and do the many other
things which we will do from Sept
1920. and II will be largely thrown
to the winds II visitors do not throw
OF their you'll convince me over my
dead body attitude and be open to
honest conviction.
THE idea that the Michigan State
fair Is q place to come and gawk
around. toss few rings at the canes,
see the races and 60 home Is an un-
progressive one. Don't get me wrong
on this.
AL these things are entertaining:
that 10 what we have them there for.
No one 10 q firmer believer In the
time honored axiom that "All work
and no play makes Jack dull boy"
than am. It Is the combination of
education and pleasure that we aim
for.
Look around and see II there isn't
something you could add to yoar
household equipment which would
make the duties for your wife lighter.
I'VE want the Michigan State fair
to be q benefit to the entire family.
We want II to be the family conven.
ton. When we have accomplished
these things we will have the great.
est institution for educational good
extant. We can only do this with
the whole souled cooperation of the
people Of the state of Michigan"
