BIG PRIZES FOR COUNTIES
in AGRICULTURAL. PARADE

Atlanta, october. = Especially = A
vast panorama on wheels, made up of
scores of floats entered by the differ
ent counties of Georgia, and showing
the many agricultural products and
resources OF the state, will be the prin-
cipal feature of the big parade on Ag-
ricultural Day of Harvest Festival
Week, November is.
Every county in Georgia is being in
vited and urged to enter a float in
this parade and to compete for the
prizes The first prize, for the best
float, is $1,000, in gold. and there will
be other valuable prizes in cash and
agricultural implements. But worth
thousands of times more than the
prizes will be the big advertising that
the counties will get from entering
in the parade. In the first place the
parade will be seen by nearly half a
million people, and in the second it
will be shown later all over the Unit
ed States in motion picture films.
viii Have Big Audience
The population of Atlanta and its
suburbs is now considerably over 200,-
900, and it is estimated that there will
be nearly that many visitors here
from other parts of Georgia for Har-
vest Festival Week. The crowds that
will line the streets for the Agricultu-
raj Day parade will surpass even
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-25

the great Shrine convention, which
brought more than 100000 visitors.
Agricultural Day will be of strictly
statewide significance. 1t will be a
statewide holiday, so made by the
proclamation of the governor, and all
the features of the day, in charge of
the Ad Mems Club of Atlanta, will
put the counties of the state in the
forefront On that day will occur the
parade above described, also the Geor-
gia Products dinner. and the Agricul-
tural Day ball at the auditorium arm
DRY, and in addition the AID Men are
planning to entertain all the editors
OF the weekly and daily newspapers
OF the state at a luncheon to be given
at one Of the prominent local clubs.
Should Get Ready Now
Every county which wishes to be
represented by float in the parade
should communicate direct with P. C.
McDuffie, general chairman of Agri-
cultural Day program, Georgia Har-
vest Festival Association, Atlanta. The
Association has made arrangement
with the railroads to ship free OF
charge all agricultural products to be
used in this parade, and each county.
to avail itself of this right, has only
to communicate with Mr. McDuff1e,
who will furnish them every possible
assistance. There will be no entrance
fee or other charge, and the only cost
to each county will be the actual ex-
pense OF fitting up the float.
