as well known In the fair realm as
the International Stock Show has
made Chicago in the stock show
world, will open this year on Septem-
Der rs and will close October s, at
midnight.
Nothing has been left undone this
year. Nothing has been left to chance
For year the directors OF the fair or
ganization have planned for the 1915
triumph. and they say that 1t will be a
triumph indeed.
Here will be shown, as cannot be
shown In any other spot In the coun-
try. the great changes through which
the South has passed in the last year.
Diversification, the improvement IN
stock breeding, the coming Of poultry
into its own as a money producer, the
browning of Corn as Crown Prince to
King Cotton, will all be reflected dur
ing the ten days of the big exposition
A wealth of premiums have been Of
fered. They cover every imaginable
line. The woman with a recipe for
good apple pie can go to Memphis and
get the pie prize while her husband is |
down at the stock ring watching a
blue ribbon being pinned on the little
Jersey that he bought at the fair only
two years before.
Over $16,000.00 will be offered In
stock prizes alone. And then in addi-
ton to this $1,5OO.OO will be offered

Fuller has announced that over $16,.
600 will be offered this year in live

Agriculture will also be keynote
feature. The county exhibits have al.
ways brought forth the hottest kind of
a race, and this year, owing to the
wider variety being grown, this COM
petition will be even more keen.
The fair association officials are
firm believers in the axiom, Some
thing doing every minute!" and they
have seen to It that every minute Of
the ten days is crowded full of inter-
est.
The railroads are offering special
rates to Memphis during the week and
are anticipating record business. y,

FAIR HAS WORKED WONDERS
MEMPHIS is GREATLY PLEASED.

The Tri-State Fair at Memphis is q
monument to cooperation. It shows
beyond all doubt what concerted eff

The fair this year will be held Sep.
TENDER rs to October s, and during
the ten days thousands of farmers,
business men and women from the
surrounding territory will see the
fruits of the last few years wonderful
development concentrated in the ex-
tensive fair grounds. w..
Diversifcation even beyond the
fondest hopes Of the men who started
the fair movement only few years
ago will be shown this year. Corn,
wheat, hays, oats, vegetables, live
stock, swine, poultry and score and
one other money-makers for the farm
will all come in for their share Of ap-
prevail.
Crop rotation has proven it's worth,
and to the Tri-State Fair goes the
lions share of the credit for the move
ment in the Memphis territory. In
this section there are no less than a
dozen farmers who decided to adopt
more modern methods after visit to
the Memphis fair. And this year they
will have opportunity for even more

SOUTH A WINNER OF
LIVE Stuck HONORS
TRI-sTATE FAIR HAS BEEN THE
GREAT FACTOR FOR DEvEL-
OPMENT.
Point Comfort XIV in Taking First
Honors Showed to International
etockmen Southern Posi-
hilities-One Incident.

A few years ago there came to the
Tri-State Fair as an entry In the live
stock show a Mississippi Hereford
bull. This bull was quite the pride oil
at least one Mississippi farm He had
noble bearing, his marks were good
he was Of right weight and magnif.
cent vitality.
There were other bulls at this fair
hundred or more Of them. They
came from all over the continent.
There were several of them who were
the pride OF their Canadian owners,
others had ranged the wide sweeps OF
the West, few more had been bred
In the valleys of New England. They
all wore ribbons of some recent tri.
umph.
The practically unknown Mississippi
entry came into the ring the next day
as mystery. He did not remain so
very long, however. He was walked
around few times. The owners of
other champions gazed at him critical
ily. The judge confirmed their fears
by tieing the blue ribbon on his horns
He was Point Comfort XIV, pride Of
Lavernet Farm, Of Jackson. And a
few weeks later when he went to Kan.
sas City and Chicago, and other judges
added to his honors and he returned
to Mississippi, the grand champion
OF all the Herefords.
This is only one instance OF the tire.
mendous power of the Tri-State Fair
Just a sample demonstration of the
great good that it has done the Mem.
phis territory in encouraging breeders
to raise their stock for the best that Is
In them.
This year a new International grand
champion will be crowned, but it is
safe to say that at least one Of his
closest competitors-if not the cham,
pion himself-will be one of the en-.
trants at the Tri-State.
Over $4,000 will be awarded In
prizes for cattle alone at the Tri-State
Fair Stock Show. Nearly $4,000 will
be awarded for swine. All of the other
departments of the fair are offering
cash premiums.

most complete exhibitions of minia-
ture farms ever attempted in the

pose it is to show just how farming Of

One of the farms will be a model
poultry farm, showing how best to

duce the greatest amount of feed
throughout the year. It will also
show model hog houses and tell how
to handle swine to the best advantage.
A model grain and stock farm will
also be shown, giving splendid plan
for four-year rotation. This plan
secures the maximum result from the
land and at the same time adds to its
fertility.
The fifth farm will show the proper
method Of growing and harvesting
rice.
Each of the farms will be under
fence, and all necessary buildings and
equipment for operation will be in
cluded in the exhibits. There will also
be up-to-the-minute charts and printed
slips, the latter may be taken home
for future reference. Experts will be
