FGE0RGIA FARMERS WILL
DEMONSTRATE SELF SUS-
TANNING FARMING At FAIR
Especial to Times-Recorder)

Especial to Times-Recorder)
MACON, Ca, Oct 16-More than
fifty farmers of as many counties of
Georgia will demonstrate at the Geor-
gia State Fair in Macon from Noverl-
Der third to thirteenth how it is cas-
lily practicable for the farmers of this
state to make their farms self-sus-
tanning. One of the leaders in this
respect is ]. Gid Morris, of Cobb coun-
| ty, whose exhibit has won the first
prize several years. Mr.. Morris will
show that his farm produces every
thing eaten and drunk in his house
with the exception of tea and coffee
While a grower of cotton, which an
nually takes prizes for excellence, he
raises a sufficient variety. of other
products to make his farm independ-
ent of the cotton market. He believes
that if other farmers will follow his
methods, which are of a most practi-
cal nature, they will not be worried
by the fear of hard times. Mr.. Morris
has written Secretary H. c. Robert, of
the Fair association, that his exhibit
this year will be more interesting,
more varied and larger than ever be-
FORE
The Fair association officials be-
lieve that the bounteous showing of
Georgia's choicest products will off
set much of the talk of hard times,
and will show that the state really is
due to have a season of unusual pros
perity, regardless of the war and the
cotton market. Low rates offered on
all railroads will be in effect, and
large out-of-town attendance is ami
cipated There will be races for FIVE
days, poultry show lasting six days,
the largest showing of beef cattle
ever made in this state, twenty coua-
ties with agricultural exhibits, and
more than 700 exhibitors in the other
departments. More room has been
provided for the displays of the boys
and girls corn, cotton, canning and
pig cubs, and, in fact. the accommoda-
tons in nearly every department have
been increased.
The midway will be the largest ever
assembled for fair in Georgia, many
of the attractions coming direct from
Coney Island. The 101 Ranch will he
at the fair on November 5.

SOUTH GEORGIA
NOW INTERESTED
IN EXHIBITIONS
COUNTY FAIRS ARE "A SUCCESS
SUMTER COUNTY NOT
{ NSslAM0NG THEM THIS
FALL.

Americas people and those of the
county as well, no doubt, regret now
that the movement made earlier in the
year, and heartily endorsed by the
Times-Recorder, to have a Sumter
county fair, did not materialize. 1t
would have proven magnificent ad-
vertisement of the diversified resources
of our county and demonstrated to
the world that Sumter is, indeed, the
Banner County of South Georgia
Will we profit by experience now, and
have a county fair in 1915?
Just at this time half dozen South
Georgia counties are announcing their
fairs, and, despite present distressed
conditions, these county fairs are prov
ing a splendid success.
Preparations for the opening of the
GeorgiaFlorida fair in Valdosta on
October 9th, are practically complet-
ed Every detail will have been work
ed out within the next week and the
fair gates will swing back on the OPP
ening day with every exhibit and ev-
cry attraction in its place, ready and
complete.
The eight large county displays will
be installed the week preceding the
opening.
One of the largest displays of corn,
and possibly the best arranged dis
play of corn ever seen in Georgia,
will be shown there The district corn
club shows, embracing thirty-fve
counties in Georgia and Florida, will
be at the fair the entire week. The
has built twenty magnif-
cent floats, on which to display the
$4,000 ears of corn gathered together
by the corn clubs.
These floats will be so arranged
that one-half of the corn display may
be seen and appreciated at one time
from any part of the main building.
Thursday, Oct. 20, will be Corn
Club Day. Every member of the
boys corn clubs throughout that dis
trict has been invited to attend the
fair that day as guests of the fair
association. 1t is expected that $4,000
corn club boys will throng the grounds
that day.
The management is spending $500
en- free attractions this year, including
many of the newest and most novel
exhibitions ever seen in the South.
The fireworks and Examinations will
be the best ever shown. The races will
be an attractive feature, including
horse races, horse and ostrich races,
and ostriches matched against os-
triches. The race track has been
put IN splendid condition for these
events.
The Valdosta fair will open Tuesday,
Oct. q ard continue through Oct. 81.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Dynamite
bombs were exploded today in st. Pat

last night in St. Alphonsus' Roman
Catholic church, in West Broadway,
near Grand street.
The explosion in the cathedral stun

to pray for peace in Europe. One man
was injured seriously and extensive
damage was done throughout the grea,
structure.
st. Alphcnsus' church was rocked
by the explosion of the bomb placed
there by unknown persons. This sec
ond outrage against a Catholic church
caused the most intense comment, not
only in the rectory of St. Alphonsus
church, but throughout the Catholic
clergy and laity as soon as the news
became known.
It was into st. Alphonsus' church
that Frank Tannebaum, the l. w. W
agitator led several hundred of his
followers, known as "the army of the

quickly surrounded the church and ar.

LITTLE TOTS BUY COTTON =
AND HELP THE CAUSE
Three Tiny Chaps Purchase a Bale
1JIEaeh

Young Americas, as well as the elder
contingent, is aiding in the laudable
movement of purchasing distress"
cotton and taking it off the overloaded
market, holding the bales as a safe
investment until conditions improve.
Among the latest acquisitions to the
"Buy-a-Bale" band of young patriots
are the three little children of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. R. Andrews, Master Edward
and Misses Elizabeth and Laura An
drews. The three little chaps had
each a snug little deposit of dimes and
pennies in the savings department of
one of the local banks, and this they
drew out today and invested it in
three cotton bales, each young patriot
thus becoming the proud possessor of
a 500-pound bale of cotton. The re-
ceipts are made out in their names,
and aside from having a profitable in
vestment they have thus aided mate
rally some farmer who doubtless
needed the ready money very much.

haphaZard practice is one that de-

This excess supply Is required for

II viii not be long until the people
will demand their rights.
We have seen how the water Is
turned TO the farmer in rotation.
The question naturally arises, what
does the farmer do with the water
after he receives it? Up to the pres
ent time there has been developed no
practice differing materially from
those In general use. The irrigators
have generally given very little. IL
any, attention TO the proper location

cd the necessary effort to properly
prepare their land for irrigation. This
lack OF attention TO these features has
resulted In greater expense In apply

CATION practice In general Is deficient
