Mr.. Stiles Report.

In the issue Of the Post bear
ing date of February Srd, there
appeared this statement in my
report of Farm Demonstration
work in Wise County, "The
Fair Association used the
money to pay for stock that was
sold and not collected and to
pay for land, improvements,
etc"
1t would probably have been
better to have said that the
chief reason that the Fair AS
ISOLATION was slow in paying
prizes appears to be that they
had been unable to collect for
some of the stock sold and had
to use the proceeds from the
fair to pay for land, improve
ments, etc, that should have
been covered by the proceeds
from the stock sold if same had
been collected.
The president of the Fair
Association now informs me
that all the prizes have been
paid, but if through an over
sight some have not been paid
they would be glad to pay them
If the parties to whom they
are due will notify them.
