COUNTY FAIRS AID
 ID THE STATE FAIR
STATEWIDE INTEREST IN THE CENTRAL EXHIBIT MANIFEST
 ED BY THE COUNTIES.
Thirty-eieht County and District Ex1i- bits Will Contribute to Success
 of the State Fair

No better indication of the growth and expanding interest in the Arkan. sas State Fair can be had than by noting the yearly increase in the mum Der of county and district exhibits throughout Arkansas, the home eX- hibits which annually contribute their best collective exhibits to the big volume of displayed resources at the state fair.
 Three years ago the county fair in Arkansas was an unknown quantity. Then one or two progressive counties of the state held county fairs and the next year others followed suit. In 1912 there were a large number of col lective county exhibits at the Arllan sas State Fair, the outcome of the smaller fairs. These counties contest ed for the splendid list of special prizes for county exhibits and Faulk- ner county won first honors.
 At the 1913 fair no less than 3S counties will be represented by col lective, individual of firm exhibits This number of counties have sched- uled fall fairs to be held, and in another year it is predicted that everyone of the 75 counties of the state will hold county or district fairs, which will make interest in the big state fair statewide.
